2 I RIVERSPRING HEALTH FEATURING THE HEBREW HOME AT RIVERDALE I 2017–2018 CENTENNIAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Friends,

Our 2017–18 Report to the Community is special. We celebrate our Centennial and the start of our second century simultaneously. We are so pleased to share this historic moment with you. You have stood with us and have helped us shape, save and improve the lives of older adults.

For 100 years, the Hebrew Home has been committed to healthy aging and the highest quality of life through groundbreaking programs and services designed to meet the evolving needs of older adults. Our achievements are numerous, our advocacy just and our accomplishments renowned.

While we reflect on our proud past, capped off by our Centennial year, we savor the milestone. We will not bask in our past highlights and novel programs for too long because, true to our pioneering spirit, we are planning for the future. Daniel A. Reingold and Jeffrey S. Maurer Our 101st year is upon us.

Ten thousand people turn 65 every day of the year. 50 million Americans are over the age of 65, and this number is expected to more than double by 2060. The Hebrew Home begins our second century of service at a critical time in the continuum of eldercare. Stay tuned. We have anticipated these changes in demographics and have done the research on how older adults want to live and what they need for a full, safe and secure life. We have begun necessary capital projects, inaugurated therapeutic and enrichment programs and conceived new strategies for adding life to years.

Thank you for celebrating our 100th anniversary and joining with us to kick off our 101st year. Together, we will continue to innovate care, services and programs for older adults with knowledge and compassion — we will continue to make a difference.

Daniel A. Reingold Jeffrey S. Maurer President & CEO Chairman

JANET’S STORY OF HOPE AND JUSTICE Janet, a retired career woman in her 80s, enjoyed living with her sister in their family home. As Janet’s memory began to fail, she and her sister became increasingly dependent on their longtime neighbor, Anna, to help them with errands, managing money and finally with daily care. Though Anna said she was taking care of everything, the house fell into disrepair, the phone no longer worked and bills went unpaid. Anna’s friends began coming in and out of the home at all hours and cherished family belongings were missing when they left.

Following a fall in her home, Janet member of MDTs throughout the issued by the guardianship court also was admitted to the hospital, where city, heard Janet’s story and helped ensured that Anna was barred from Anna, acting as the newly appointed transfer her directly from the further access to Janet and her home. hospital to the Weinberg Center’s health care proxy, prohibited Janet The Weinberg Center lawyers and shelter program. from contacting her friends and social workers, together with the relatives.

LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST The Social Services Team champions our residents. They work in partnership with each of the Home’s departments to provide an integrated array of healthcare and therapeutic services that are individualized for each resident.

Each member of the social services department works to redefine the stereotype of aging by helping the residents develop skills focused on their strengths. As advocates, they ensure that members of our community retain their dignity and voice through programs and committees such as our active Resident’s Council, the Welcome Committee and the LGBT and Allies Group.

In 2017, we introduced new support groups for families with loved ones with dementia, and for residents with Parkinson ’s disease. We also began a partnership with the Therapeutic Arts and Enrichment Department to provide a Family Wellness series.

Our Therapeutic Arts and Enrichment Programs touch every aspect of our residents’ lives and provide opportunities for creative expression, continued learning and physical activity. The End of Life Music Therapy Program brings added comfort and compassion to both our residents and their families. During these personalized sessions, residents are encouraged to share their experiences through the art of songwriting and listening to pre-composed songs. Through this individual journey of creative self- expression and improvisation, residents process their thoughts, fears and memories.

Our art studio continues to be a hub of creativity as our arts therapists work with residents to help develop their inner artist through the mediums of sculpture, painting, enameling, pottery, beadwork, drawing, knitting and on and on and on.

Finally, Our Pets by Your Side Program brings the unconditional love and compassion of pets to the lives of our residents and their families. Our program also features lifelike animatronic therapy cats that aid in memory care. As featured in extensive media coverage worldwide, these sensory cats interact with residents through touch and sound. This non-pharmacological approach enhances the Hebrew Home at Riverdale’s resident centered home-like atmosphere and aims to reduce loneliness and agitated behavior. Our goal with this, as with all interventions, is to assist with maximizing psycho-social wellbeing.

Creativity is the spice of life — whether it is participating in a play or creating a work of art.

Create a legacy that will help the Hebrew Home at Riverdale continue to transform healthy aging.

Making a planned gift may allow you to give more than you ever thought possible and, at the same time, benefit from tax advantages or income for life. Planned or deferred gift options include bequests, annuities (Charitable Gift Annuity) and trusts (Charitable Remainder Trust, Charitable Lead Trust) as well as gifts of life insurance and pensions.

Charitable gifts reward donors in many ways: in addition to fulfilling your philanthropic goals, you may reduce taxes, increase spendable income and address other financial and estate planning goals.

There are many planned giving options including: Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts, Bequests and Life Insurance

For more information about planned giving, to notify the Hebrew Home of a planned gift that has already been made, or if you wish to designate the Hebrew Home as a beneficiary in your will, please contact Rosanne Slattery at 718-781-1250 or [email protected].

You can also support the Hebrew Home by making a gift of stocks or other kinds of securities. In doing so, you receive a two-fold benefit: a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stocks or securities at the time of the gift, and you avoid paying capital gains taxes. To make a securities gift, please contact Patricia S. Weiss at 718-581-1848 or [email protected]
