BIG TOBACCO: THE EMPIRE Forum STRIKES BACK OR: IS YOUR CHILD A NICOTINE ADDICT?

In the mid-1990s, our newspaper group was honored in con- secutive years by the Massachusetts branch of the American Cancer Society for our reporting and editorials regarding the regulation of tobacco products in our local communities. We wrote about every aspect of the tobacco industry, from the in- sidious means by which the tobacco companies were pushing their products with advertising geared toward young people, to taking to task local authorities who were not doing as much as they could have (by means of ordinances limiting smoking in public places) in order to prevent young people from becoming the future tobacco addicts of America. This exact week in 1999, we editorialized in favor of a state law to ban smoking in restaurants. So it was with a great deal of personal satisfaction that we took some degree of pride in what seemed to be the vanquishing of a foe -- the tobacco lobby -- that for generations in this coun- try had reigned with impunity and that had seemed invincible until there finally were laws enacted throughout the country limiting the sale and use of tobacco beginning in the mid-2000s. Shortly after these laws went into effect, teenage cigarette smoking rates began to decline precipitously and smoking in public became an anathema. Big Tobacco had been defeated. Or so it seemed.

Chelsea Jewish Lifecare Celebrates 100 Years of Care From humble beginnings in a Chelsea home to modern care at multiple locations Staff Report

One hundred years ago, Lena Goldberg started Chel- sea Jewish Nursing Home by turning a small multi-family building into a welcoming home for elders. Today that home has grown into Chelsea Jewish Healthcare, one of New England’s leading healthcare organizations. The non-profit operates campuses in Chelsea, Peabody and Longmeadow, employing more than 2,000 individuals and taking care of more than 1,000 individuals every day. While there has been extensive growth and expansion throughout years, one thing never changed: the organization’s unwavering commitment to provide high-quality, compassionate care in a “real” home setting. “From the very beginning, our goal was to provide the best possible care,” said Barry Berman, who has been CEO of Chelsea Jewish Lifecare for more than 40 years. “We en- courage our residents to make their own choices and live their own lives by creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a caring and compassionate staff.” He further explained, “Living in a residence that offers all the amenities of a real home greatly enhances the quality of life for elderly and disabled individuals.” Berman recalled coming to Chelsea Jewish when he was only 23 and fresh out of graduate school. “When they started this organization, that was before Alan Bolotin and Elliot Katzman. MediCare, MediCaid and public health programs,” he said. “It was just a bunch of Jewish women who saw elders that needed services and they decided to buy a home and help them. When I started, I was only 23 and just got out of gradu- ate school. It was a small, 60-bed home that really needed an incredible amount of work. I went to the Trustees and I was honest with them. I said them I didn’t have a lot of experi- ence, but we could all work together and figure out how to do this so we can improve the home.” By 1983, they were able to demolish the home on Lafay- ette Avenue and build the brand new Chelsea Jewish Nurs- ing Home – a home that was just completely renovated and modernized this past year. Over the past 100 years, Chelsea Jewish Lifecare has achieved many similar and significant milestones. The opening of the award-winning Leonard Florence Center for Living in 2010, the first urban Green House skilled nursing facility in the country, is one example. This revolu- tionary nursing home in Chelsea includes 30 rooms devoted (L-R) Adam Berman CJL president, City Manager Tom Am- to individuals diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral brosino, and Barry Berman, CJL CEO. sclerosis) and MS (multiple sclerosis). Individuals are able to live as independently as possible through the cutting-edge technology built into the center. Today the Leonard Florence Center takes care of more individuals living with ALS under one roof than any place in the world. The organization greatly expanded in 2016 with the addi- tion of a Peabody campus and again in 2018 with the affil- iation of JGS Lifecare in Longmeadow. All three campuses reflect the organization’s mission: to be the most respected provider of service-enriched residential care and post-acute care for seniors and individuals living with debilitating neuro- logical conditions. In 2017, the Chelsea Jewish Nursing Home underwent a dramatic $16 million renovation. The new building reflects a legacy Green House skilled nursing model that can be easily duplicated by nursing homes across the country. This concept Ina Hoffman, admissions director LFCL, dancing at Celebration. sets the stage for new level of care in senior housing. (L-R) Barry Berman, Jeffrey Brudnick and Susan Brudnick. “We came back to the home atmosphere that our founder, Mrs. Goldberg, originally had in mind,” said Adam Berman, president of Chelsea Jewish Lifecare. “What’s so unique about our model is that we’ve combined contemporary design elements with the traditional concept of making one’s home as warm and inviting as possible.” On April 28, employees, residents, families, friends and community members came together to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Chelsea Jewish Lifecare. Governor Charlie Baker recognized this momentous day by issuing a Citation in honor of this special anniversary. Amidst dinner, dancing and emotional speeches, attendees viewed a slide show with over 200 photos spanning the last 100 years. A highlight of the event was a heartfelt tribute to the 49 staff members who have worked at the organization for 25 years or more. Barry Berman summed up the night perfectly: “Our employees are the real reason behind our longevity. Without them, we wouldn’t be here today.” Looking to the future, Berman said they will look to grow, but not hastily. “We believe in growth, but we also believe in very calcu- lated and smart growth,” he said. “Some companies can grow too fast. Although we are ready to grow, we are cautious about it…We do it with our eyes wide open because we’re not going to grow just to grow.”
