2020 Annual Report THE VIRGINIA HOME Annual Report 2020 A MESSAGE TO OUR FRIENDS “I am proud that I first walked through the front door of The Virginia Home nearly 40 years ago to interview I leave knowing for a summer internship. I knew very little about The Home, but quickly learned that this place was unlike any nursing home I had ever seen. The first person I met was a resident The Home is in very named Roy Donovan — he is still a resident today. The residents were young, active and good hands and obviously not approaching the end of their lives. They were “living their lives to the fullest.” that the mission is Fast forward to May of 1982. I returned to The Home as a full time member of the staff. still viable and being The position of assistant administrator was created and offered to me. My plans leading up to that time were to return to my northern roots and continue my education. But, by achieved.” that time I had developed a real affection for The Home and decided to accept the position and delay my return north. Today, I contemplate my retirement at the end of 2021 after – Bob Crouse nearly four decades. Isn’t it funny how plans change? Today’s Virginia Home looks very different from The Virginia Home I was introduced to so many years ago. And the residents who live here have changed a great deal too. In the early 1980’s there was little support available for someone with a disability who wanted to remain living in their own home. Without family and friends who could help with care and mobility it was a difficult challenge. Consequently, we had many residents who lived at The Home solely because they lacked the support to live independently. Some needed only minimal help to perform activities of daily living. Many could propel a manual wheelchair and a few could walk. The mission of The Virginia Home was to provide that assistance which would enable our residents to live a meaningful life. Beginning in the mid 1980’s things began to change for people who were physically challenged. Funding became available for home health care, wheelchairs became more technologically advanced, and with the 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the world for many became much more accessible. People who once would have viewed The Home as the likely answer to living with a disability now had options. Consequently, those who applied for and ultimately accepted admission to The Home had much greater needs and limitations than any previous residents. That trend has continued to today. And so, our approach to care has evolved from a relatively custodial model to one that seeks to address the needs of each individual and offer solutions that allow residents to live life to the fullest within and outside our Virginia Home community. Through the addition of new and improved facilities, important clinical services and access to the best care givers possible, today’s residents have the opportunity Top: Lynn and Bob Crouse celebrate The Virginia Home’s 100th Anniversary at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T.

THE VIRGINIA HOME to overcome many of the obstacles that would otherwise OUR MISSION prevent a fulfilling life. For my friend Roy and others like him, the world is much larger than it was 40 years ago. Throughout its history, The Virginia Home has had the good fortune to be served by a wonderfully talented and creative staff and a generous and caring Board. But, there is one The Virginia Home more group I haven’t yet mentioned. None of the things that make The Home what it is would be possible without the generous support of our donors and volunteers. Whether provides compassionate it was to build a multi-purpose facility, expand our facilities, support our annual Stories of Courage & Grace event or to provide annual support, the lives of our residents without and professional residential your support would be very different. I’ve marveled over the years just what a generous community we have and how lucky we are to be a part of it. care to adult Virginians We will never forget the year 2020. The idea that something like the COVID-19 Pandemic would ever occur and have with irreversible physical such a profound effect on not just The Virginia Home, but the entire world still seems fictional. Of course it wasn’t. But, for all the havoc the pandemic caused, the response disabilities, ensuring that to it brought out the best in so many. All of our employees bravely worked in the trenches during two very significant outbreaks. With little complaint everyone came together their lifelong comfort to help our residents stay well, stay connected and stay positive. Our Board, often remotely, continued to provide the moral and financial support necessary to persevere. and security will never be And you, our supporters, doubled down on your efforts to see that we had all that we needed. In addition to your monetary support, so many provided donations of masks, compromised, regardless gowns, gloves and other PPE and helped connect us to networks of others who could help. of ability to pay. My appreciation for our Board members, staff, volunteers and donors has only become greater during this trying year. And my admiration for the resiliency of our residents is through the roof! As I wind down a very rewarding career, I am grateful to all of you. I am proud that I leave knowing The Virginia Home is in very good hands and that the mission is still viable and being achieved.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 1 THE PANDEMIC YEAR IN REVIEW The New Year Begins Wow, were we misled. The year began with so much promise. Residents were busy with all kinds of activities and adventures, including indoor rock-climbing and preparing for the second year of EPIC (Empowering People in Communities). A trip to Disney in February went off without a hitch, and staff was finalizing the seating chart for our 10th Annual Stories of Courage & Grace. And then in March things began to unravel. The COVID-19 virus reached Virginia and brought everything to a halt. In order to plan for residents’ safety, The Home was closed to families, friends and volunteers and residents were restricted to their rooms. Above: Jonathan Strother and Pluto were caught hamming it up at Disney in February. Right column, top to bottom: Otto Critz tries rock-climbing with our Adventure Seekers group in February. | Kaleigh Cravens sends a “socially distanced” message to family and friends. | The Virginia Home posted signs of encouragement throughout the building. | Frank Smith settled in with a book during the quarantine. 2 THE VIRGINIA HOME Spring/Summer As the world was learning how to combat the virus, our staff was gleaning the best advice from national and state guidelines. Acquiring the proper equipment — masks, gloves, gowns, sanitizer — became a priority. Amid tight supply we innovated, sometimes making our own PPE. In early April, twelve residents and three staff members tested positive. Great leadership and teamwork prevailed as The Home adopted protocols to curb the spread of infection. Having regained control we were able to implement “through the glass visits” to help reunite residents and their families in a small way. Above: Music Therapist Lily Bowers became our very own “Traveling Troubadour” as she visited residents room by room.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 3 THE PANDEMIC YEAR IN REVIEW Autumn While strict regulatory controls remained in place, staff members looked for creative ways to engage the residents. Modified versions of Fall Festival and Halloween allowed residents to enjoy traditional events. But the hard work of keeping residents safe continued, and the unprecedented stress was wearing on staff members, residents and family members. Teamwork, compassion and persistence prevailed in the face of huge challenges. Above: Employee Appreciation Day with members of our crucial Nutrition Services team. Left to right: Diamond Garland, Lynn Crouse, Shontelle Taylor, Stacy Jones (Community Integration), Rebecca Whitaker and Karen Dixon. Dorshelle Mayo (kneeling).

This year the pandemic made it impossible to celebrate in normal ways. Because residents were restricted to floors and rooms, staff members did all they could to take the celebrations to the residents. Volunteers and private support made sure each resident received gifts and goodies. The garden was transformed into a winter wonderland. "Through the glass" visits continued — a patio heater made these more bearable as temperatures dropped. And as the year ended, the arrival of vaccines was once again providing hope for the future.

  • May 21, 2019, Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader Mccarthy
    May 21, 2019, Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Chairman Nadler, and Ranking Member Collins, We, the undersigned national, state, and local education, civil and human rights, LGBTQ+, labor, national security, faith, grassroots, and immigrants’ rights organizations, write to express our support for the American Dream and Promise Act as it goes before the House Judiciary Committee for markup. The legislation would put immigrant youth known as Dreamers and long-time beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) on a roadmap to citizenship. Over the past two years, the Trump administration has taken steps to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and strip status from nearly every individual with TPS and all of those with DED. Only a small number of preliminary injunctions prevent these individuals from facing the prospect of detention and deportation. The administration’s actions are inflicting enormous pain and uncertainty on more than a million people—not to mention their families and their communities who face an impending separation crisis. These individuals live in every state and every congressional district. They are our classmates and our teachers, our coworkers and our employers. They worship with us and help to keep us safe. They contribute to our great nation in myriad ways. The average DACA recipient came to the country at age six, while the average TPS holder has been in the country for 22 years. Between them, they have nearly 500,000 U.S. citizen children, not to mention many hundreds of thousands more U.S. citizen parents, spouses, and siblings, all of whom are suffering already and will suffer still more if the Trump administration is successful in ending their protections.

  • All Saints Catholic Celebrates Two Historic Milestones
    Volume XXIV No. 52 Hometown Newspaper for Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Glenwood, Locust Valley and Brookville Week of 9/3/15 75C All Saints Catholic Celebrates Two Historic Milestones This coming school year will be a very exciting one for our local Catholic School, All Saints Regional Catholic School. This month marks not only ASR's 25th Anniversary, but also begins the 100th year of Catholic school education on the Gold Coast. St. Patrick School was dedicated on September 6, 1915 in the same landmark building now occupied by All Saints. Three more Catholic schools opened in surrounding communities during the early to mid-20th Century: St. Boniface, Sea Cliff, St. Hyacinth, Glen Head and St. Mary, Roslyn. These schools were founded to provide a high-quality faith based education to the families of this part of Long Island, including the children of the many Catholic immigrants who have always come to this area. The four original parish schools joined together in 1990 to form All Saints Regional Catholic School. The school is supported by those four parishes, joined by St. Rocco’s in Glen Cove, and by generous benefactors who support the school’s mission. Fr. Elias Carr, Headmaster of All To mark these two major anniversaries, Saints Regional Catholic School, All Saints is planning a number of and Mrs. Joanne Fitzgerald, celebratory events during school year Academic Dean, pose next to the 2015-16, starting in October with an school’s cornerstone, which holds historic reenactment of the original a time capsule to be opened in conjunction with the building’s 100th Anniversary this year.

  • Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee Office of Film and Literature Classification
    SENATE LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION COMMITTEE OFFICE OF FILM AND LITERATURE CLASSIFICATION Question No. 64 Senator Harradine asked the following questions at the hearing on 16 February 2004: a) Does the Department accept that there is genuine public concern that deleting the “M” from the advisory category takes away the cautionary meaning associated with M the idea of the need for a level of maturity to view certain films? The proposed category leaves only a requirement that those 15 years and under be accompanied by an adult, which is a gate keeping issue rather than advice as to the content of the film or who should see it. Won’t those perceptions be a problem if the new classification is adopted? b) Please provide a copy of any research the OFLC undertook when formulating this proposed change. c) What consultation has been undertaken with the general public as to this proposed change? d) If the MA15+ classification is no longer considered an effective or useful rating, what is the OFLC considering doing to better educate the public on the meaning of ratings symbols like MA15+? Isn’t change to a new rating likely to just cause more confusion? The answer to the honourable senator’s question is as follows: a) There is no intention to delete the “M” from an advisory category and therefore no cause for public concern in this regard. The proposal to delete the “M” from the name of the restricted classification, MA 15+, will not be proceeding. b) The following research reports, which were commissioned by the Office of Film and Literature Classification in formulating proposed changes to the cooperative classification scheme , including changes to the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995 (the Classification Act), are attached: • Australian Consumers’ Understanding of Classification Information (March 2002) • Classification Usage and Attitude Study (November 2002), and • Consumer Advice Study (December 2002).
