Dear Friends: At this me of year, it’s good to stop to reflect for a few moments about the past twelve months. I remember 2015 as being full of love, hope, change, challenge and great promise. For me, one of the great highlights is the addi on of Madeline (Maddy) Wahl to our team as assistant director. I had invited her to speak at our 2014 Annual Banquet. At that me, she was being recognized as the “Community 360°
Volunteer of the Year.” Her talk was extraordinary. Her presence was cap va ng and by the end of her talk, I, along with many others in the audience were spell‐bound. Going home, later that evening, I thought she could be the new face of Community 360°. However, at that me, she was working full‐ me, so the thought of her in a leadership posi on was shelved. Some me in the month of December 2014, I learned that Maddy was no longer working full‐ me. I wasted no me in calling her to arrange a me to meet with her. We met January 7, 2015, and during our lunch mee ng, I explained to her that a er 20 plus years of leading Community 360° it was me for me to think about succession. I asked her if she
would be interested taking the posi on of assistant director. To my surprise and great joy, she accepted the posi on with great enthusiasm. Since that day, Madeline, (Maddy) has led Community 360° through a series of exercises and workshops that will ul mately result in Community 360° successfully achieving greater visibility, financial stability, and gathering new friends, and new volunteers. We have an excellent team. At our annual board and staff retreat of 2014 we iden fied four goals for 2015:
Achieve financial stability
Recruit high‐quality, well‐trained volunteers
Develop a succession plan
Raise the visibility of Community 360°
The synergy that is flowing right now in Community 360° is awesome. For me, it’s a great vindica on for all the years of sweat, toil, and tears. Seeing this outreach now touching hundreds of people living in nursing homes is a great joy for me. It’s one thing to go out and make a difference. It’s another thing to get people to follow you and watch them make a difference. Please take a few minutes to read this report. I think you, like me, will find it heart‐felt and inspiring. I want to thank all of our financial supporters. Many of you have been with me from the very beginning in 1992. I consider it a privilege to know you and to have your confidence in me and your love. To use the song lyrics, “...it’s a long and winding road,” but on this road, I have met some of the most loving and remarkable people.
Along this road, I’ve learned many life lessons. I’ve learned that there are so many more great and good people than I ever imagined. I’ve learned that everyone in our community needs to feel accepted and welcomed. Community 360° is the source of hope for many people facing the challenges of entering this final stage of life. I’ve learned that people want to give back to their community in an inten onal and well‐thought way. I’ve learned there is no subs tute for the touch of another human, the warm smile of a friend, and the compassion and love shared between two people.
To all of our volunteers, to all of our donors and to all of our sponsors, thank you, for a great and wonderful 2015. Let’s con nue to stand together in 2016, to give the people living and working in long‐term care facili es the gi of love.
Most Sincerely, Paul P. Falkowski, Ph.D. President

Less the 50% of the1.5 million people living in nursing homes ever receive a visit from anyone. They are twice as likely to die in the same period as the people who do get visitors.
Over the next two decades staff shortage will reach 30%. Staffing
shortages are already having a nega ve impact on care. Imagine what the quality of care will be like in 20 years.
70% of all elderly are prescribed an ‐psycho c drugs within 3 months of
admission to the nursing home having had no prior diagnosis requiring the use of these drugs.
Suicide among adults 65+ is 14.3/100K, the na onal average is 11.3/100K.1 Loneliness, feelings of uselessness, loss of dignity are risk factors for suicide. Women 85+ lead in a empted suicides, men 85+ lead in successful suicides.
80,000,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day. 1 out of 20 will need a nursing home.
When they begin turning 85 in the year 2030, 1 out of 4 will need a nursing home.
“What does this mean?” The ramifications of these statistics are bleak. As the population continues to age, staff shortages will continue to increase. There will not be enough professional staff to properly attend to the elderly under their care. Today staff burnout is a reality. Turnover rates among direct‐care workers can reach as high as 100% during the course of a year. The older adults living in nursing homes are reluctant to invest in a relationship that may last for only a few months. An older woman living in a nursing home expressed it this way, “I have a lot of people around me, but there is no one here just for me.” Many of the older adults living in nursing homes have outlived their families and friends, their families live far away, or the family relationships are broken and they just do not visit regardless of the distance. As a result, more than half of all nursing home residents spend their days alone. They are twice as likely to die in the same period as those older adults who do get visitors. They do not die from old age, they die from a broken heart. Loneliness is a killer. Loneliness, lack of meaningful relationships, feelings of despair can lead to older adult behaviors. They may become angry, refuse to eat, or even strike out at the staff. The staff manage these behaviors with the use of powerful drugs that are used to treat serious mental health illness. The staff simply do not have time to nurture meaningful relationships. Instead they are compelled to resort to anti‐psychotic drugs. There are efforts to change this however we have a long way to go. Finally, there is likely a nursing home in your future. As we age the odds of needing a nursing home increase. Pretending like it won’t happen to you will not change the odds. Today is the day to look for solu ons and we think we have found one.

Living in our community are people who want to give back to the community. They are enjoying some degree of success in their careers but they realize that something is missing from their lives. They come to the realize that they want to give back to their community in a meaningful way and they want to know that they are making a real impact through their volunteer efforts. We are attracting those people to Community 360°. Why? Because they recognize that Community 360° produces comprehensive state‐of‐the art training programs. These programs give the volunteer the insight and tools they need during their volunteer career. In the nursing home, they have the confidence to make a real and effective difference by being a positive influence on the older adult’s quality of life and relieving staff burden. Community 360° accepts only the finest of volunteers to serve as companions to this vulnerable group. In fact, we look to see if our applicant understands five key concepts before we allow them entrance into our training program. These are:
If we find individuals who value these concepts we feel as if we have found great potential for people who will make quality volunteers in the long‐term care community. Our elders deserve only the very best. As a result of our stringent vetting process, we enjoy the trust the long‐term care community has put in our volunteer program. But how does this meet the challenges nursing homes are facing? Because of the high commitment level of Community 360° volunteers they become a true asset to the facility in which
they serve. From the very first day on the job, their training prepares them for any number of circumstances. Without training, all to often volunteers create more work for the care staff. This leads the care staff to view the volunteer as “another thing to manage.” They are a burden rather than a help. Community 360° volunteers are highly trained. At the heart of the Community 360° is the desire to enhance the quality of care received by the older adults living in the facility. Community 360° volunteers nurture the need for intimate relationships. The volunteer has the “luxury of time. The Community 360° is trained in communication and listening techniques that opens the door to an empathetic understanding of the older adult sharing their fears, hopes and most importantly unconditional love. Because of the deep commitment of the Community 360° volunteer, the older adults anticipate the volunteer’s visit. They learn to trust the Community 360° volunteer. These relationships go a long way to relieve feelings of loneliness, depression and can even mitigate negative behaviors. As a result, these relationships help to lighten the workload of the staff. All to often, the older adult is hitting the call light or calling for help because they just want someone to be with them. The nursing home environment is often in flux as employees come and go. The older adult is reluctant to invest in relationships with the staff that may be gone in a few months. The Community 360° volunteer remains on the scene in some cases for years. Thus the Community 360° volunteer becomes the stabilizing factor in the world of the older adult. Staff come and go but it’s the Community 360° volunteer that remains. Research has shown that in many cases behaviors result from lack of personal attention. Over‐burdened staff do not have time to nurture the deep and meaningful relationships the older adults need. Rather the staff resort to anti‐psychotic drugs to manage the people under their care. The presence of the highly trained Community 360° volunteer introduces the potential for solutions other than drugs. The Community 360° volunteer is trained to innovate new approaches to that person to address those behaviors. Over the next two decades, the need for Community 360° highly trained trusted volunteers will become even more critical. There will not be enough staff to provide the level of care the older adults need and deserve. We must begin now to build this skilled volunteer workforce so that when those days arrive, not too long from now, we will be prepared to meet the challenges presented by large population of older adults needing long‐term care.

My name is
Madeline Wahl and I
am the Assistant Director of
Community 360°.
During fiscal year 2015, the
staff at Community 360°
focused its efforts around
four organiza onal goals:
1. Achieve Financial Stability;
2. Recruit high‐quality volunteers;
3. Develop a succession plan; and
4. Raise the visibility of Community 360°.
Goal 1: Development Goal: Achieve Financial Stability
In 2015, Community 360° dona ons remained
steady and stable; comparable to 2014 remains loyal.
Areas of growth include:
Income from Grants
Income from Corpora ons
Income from private individuals
In the early part of 2015, Community 360°’s
Development Officer resigned and the posi on currently
remains open. The organiza on is seeking an individual to
fill this role yet faces a lack of funding required for the part‐
me salary. To bridge the gap, Community 360° has applied
for grant funding to cover a por on of the salary, and will
con nue to seek addi onal capital and/or unrestricted
funding from donors and grant‐wri ng efforts. Un l the
development posi on is filled and becomes self‐sustaining,
we believe the organiza on’s finances will remain in flux.
However, to balance out our financial status and
stabilize the organiza on’s bo om line, we bolstered our
efforts around online fundraising campaigns including
Omaha Gives and Giving Tuesday, contracted with the
professional grant wri ng firm Do ed I Wri ng Services, and
entered into a new corporate/community partnership with
Physicians Mutual Insurance Company. The financial
success of these collabora ve efforts balanced out any
decrease in the number of individual “asks.”
In 2016, Community 360° remains commi ed to
achieving the 2015 goal of financial stability, and in addi on,
will focus on building financial sustainability.
Goal 2: Care Facility Outreach ‐ Program Goal: Recruit High
‐Quality Volunteers
Recrui ng high‐quality volunteers is an ongoing
organiza onal priority that is mission‐cri cal. In 2015, Lisa
Hild was hired to fill the open Volunteer Coordinator
posi on, ensuring that the talent and resources needed for
the volunteer program remain intact. Twenty three new
volunteers went through Community 360°’s “Volunteering in
Long‐Term Care” training program in 2015, or signed up for
the first trainings of 2016.
Throughout the year, more than 100 commi ed,
compassionate and community service‐oriented volunteers
served those living and working in nursing homes through a
number of Community 360°’s programs, including:
Weekly visits (long‐term volunteering) in nursing homes
Ushering at the Christmas in Our Hearts concert
Making or Delivering Valen ne’s Day Cards to residents
Sending out Staff Apprecia on Lunches during Na onal
Nursing Home Week
Assis ng with various events, such as exhibi on booths,
mee ngs and fundraisers
Meeting

Need

In sum, Community 360° volunteers logged more
than 2,500 hours of service in 2015. When mul plied by the
na onal value of a volunteer’s me at $23.07 per hour,
Community 360° volunteers provided nearly $60K in services
to our community last year. In 2016, we are commi ed to
doubling our impact by doubling these numbers.
Looking ahead, Community 360° plans to bolster its
2016 recruitment efforts in the following ways:
6 new volunteer engagement events
2 new recruitment campaigns and events
Various adver sing and marke ng efforts
Community resources (e.g.: pos ng volunteer
opportuni es online)
Networking with other volunteer‐based
agencies
Goal 3: Develop a succession plan
As the Assistant Director of Community 360°, I feel
both honored and privileged to be working alongside Paul
Falkowski, and fulfilled by the compassionate, important
work we are doing in the community. Together, Paul and I
have set strategic development, programming and
marke ng plans in place for the organiza on to successfully
con nue its work in the years to come. 2015 efforts have
paved the way for more visibility opportuni es in 2016.
Goal 4: Raise the visibility of Community 360°
A new direc on for the organiza on’s marke ng
and branding was put in place in 2015. With an updated
tagline, branded messaging, marke ng campaigns, and a
partnership with the adver sing firm, REBEL Interac ve, we
feel confident that Community 360° will be able to reach
new heights in the minds and hearts of our audiences. With
a focus on fundraising and marke ng in the community –
targe ng audiences with engaging videos, printed brochures
and online social and email campaigns ‐ we will be able to
reach new donors, poten al volunteers, and remaining
engaged with our current base of volunteers and supporters.
Last year brought new insights, and we were able to
use our project / me management and resources efficiently
to meet and exceed all organiza onal goals. I am confident
that Paul, Lisa, and I can lead Community 360 ° to remain a
viable and invaluable organiza on in the year ahead.

My name is
Lisa Hild and I am the
Volunteer Coordinator of
Community 360°.
I spent the last
semester as a prac cum
student for Community
360ᵒ. My main project was
interviewing several of the
most ac ve volunteers to gather informa on that would
provide future volunteer recrui ng strategies and to
determine how we could enhance our volunteers'
experience. Through these interviews, I determined that
word of mouth is our best recrui ng strategy. And, in order
for our volunteers to want to share about their experiences
with us that they need to feel like they're having a fulfilling,
rewarding experience.
As the volunteer coordinator, I am making it my
mission this year to do whatever I can to help our volunteers
to feel supported and encouraged. I will personally meet
with as many ac vity directors as I can to share our mission
with them and to encourage them to take the steps
necessary to ensure that our volunteers are ac vely
supported and appreciated in their nursing homes.
Community 360ᵒ has done an excellent job of training their
volunteers for years now and I want to help bridge the gap
between leaving training and ge ng appropriately plugged
in at the nursing homes.
I have also started planning regular volunteer get‐
togethers that will allow the volunteers to get to know each
other. I want them to know that we're a family and a place
where they can share their joys and concerns about
volunteering. I planned and hosted our first annual volunteer
Christmas party in December. In the end of January, we
hosted a social event at Spirit World. A few of the upcoming
events are an "Each One, Reach One" event where we will
encourage our volunteers to bring friends to learn more
about us and a summer picnic. These volunteer events will
be held every couple of months throughout 2016.
I will also spend this year trying to be the face of
Community 360ᵒ to the community. I will a end volunteer
fairs and community networking mee ngs. I will form
important partnerships with colleges, churches, and other
organiza ons. I will make sure that we are pos ng on social
media sites and other places where we might be able to
recruit volunteers. It is my job to keep track of our
volunteers from the beginning of the process to the end,
including reviewing applica ons, conduc ng personal
interviews, running background checks, gathering
references, training registra on, and all of the appropriate
follow up.
Currently, most of my me is being spent on our
huge Valen ne's Day outreach. We collect and deliver more
than 5,000 Valen ne's Day cards to nursing home residents.
Obviously, it is a huge undertaking to organize enough
volunteers to ensure the success of this outreach. We'll wrap
up the end of the year with our other big outreach event,
our Christmas in Our Hearts concert. It is a pleasure to work
for Community 360ᵒ. I feel blessed to have found a place
where I can fulfill my life's mission of caring for the elderly.

My name is Jennifer Lewis, the social worker prac cum student, I started my prac cum in August of 2015 and will end in April of 2016. I am doing part of my prac cum at Community 360° and the other part at Maple Crest
Health Center.
For 2015 at Community 360°, I have been working on lining up Valida on Therapy training for our volunteers. Valida on Therapy is a method of communica on for those who are disoriented. Through Valida on Therapy, stress can be reduced, dignity can be enhanced, and happiness can be increased for the elder. The goal is to send five volunteers through the training by bring the training to Omaha.
At the end of 2015 we had five volunteers interested in the training and we are working on grant op ons. Since Valida on Therapy is a long course and much planning goes into the se ng up the training, training may not begin un l late summer or fall of 2016. However, my goal for 2016 is to con nue working on making Valida on Therapy a possibility for our volunteers, giving them another tool that they can use to connect with elders.
For the research part of my prac cum, I con nued on with the qualita ve research study over social workers in skilled nursing facility. I interviewed
another five social workers working in skilled nursing facili es in Omaha, Gretna, and Bellevue. My goal by the end of my prac cum is to have all of my interviews transcribed, as well as those interviews conducted by the last prac cum student. Once the transcrip ons are finished, I will begin iden fying themes within nursing homes so that Community 360° may be able to develop ways to support social workers as they serve elderly popula ons.
For 2016, I will be researching the value of the volunteer hour, and iden fying themes from the annual reports. I will also be looking at the possibility at providing another TimeSlips training to our volunteers who have not yet completed the training. By training more volunteers in TimeSlips we hope to serve more nursing facili es.
We are seeing the need for and growing interest in TimeSlips. TimeSlips is a crea ve way to help elders with demen a communicate and express themselves. TimeSlips is a project that allows elders to create a story based on a picture. The elders by looking at one picture and using their crea vity make up a story associated with the picture. Once the stories are completed they are displayed in the facility for staff and families to see what the elders completed.
Thank you for the opportunity to work and learn in this wonderful environment of serving older adults living in nursing homes.

The Problem:
age‐ism1 [ey‐jiz‐uh m)
noun 1. discrimination of persons of a certain age group. 2. a tendency to regard older persons as debilitated, unworthy of attention, or unsuitable for
employment.
Ageism is a learned behavior. From early childhood we are exposed through media, parents, and organizations promoting myths about older adults, i.e., they are senile, irrelevant, stuck in their ways, and unable to learn.
The Solution:
To combat ageism, Community 360° develops and hosts community events that bring people of all ages together, to have fun, to focus on a common goal, to learn from each other and to correct misunderstandings about older adults.

Now in it’s 19th year, “Christmas in Our Hearts” has become an Omaha tradition. The staff and residents of 25+ facilities attend this annual holiday event totaling 350 or more elders and their care providers. This year, we produced the event at the Kroc Center. This beautiful facility was designed for an event just as this! The room is acoustically correct and it offers the flexibility that is needed to accommodate people using wheelchairs and walkers. We moved in Wednesday, December 2nd and with the help of great volunteers from The Nature Conservancy of Nebraska, the room and the stage were beautifully decorated. That evening the singers and performers rehearsed. It is a reunion of sorts as many of the them only see each other at this event. Then on December 5th with the help of about 50 volunteers, we began receiving the arriving vans and busses. We are especially grateful for Mary Robbins and her crew for the professional photography all donated to record the event.
We are grateful for the people who sponsor this event in part:

Hillcrest Health Services
Vetter Health Services Thank you!

Raising support for Community 360° is always a
challenge but by year’s end, Through a series of fundraising
events and developing new rela onships we raised
the support needed to fulfill a great por on of our
mission.
Fundraising highlights for 2015 include:
Omaha Gives
Omaha Gives, sponsored by the Omaha
Community Founda on affords non‐profits the
opportunity for online fundraising. The cost is
minimal but the returns are significant. Each non‐
profit is given a webpage to post pictures and
stories concerning their mission. Then the
nonprofits, through social media and other forms of
donor contact, work to drive poten al donors to
that webpage on a set date. In 2015, that date was
May 20, 2015. Community 360° nearly doubled it’s dona ons
from the 2014 Omaha Gives event by raising $6512.28!
“Answer the Call” ‐ Phonathon
Every year, seems like it will be the last year we host
the phonathon. This is because so many people are now
dropping their land‐lines in favor of mobile devices. Yet each
year, Community 360° con nues to raise significant support.
Again, 2015 was no different as $9, 154.00 was raised. We
certainly want to thank the volunteers who came in to the
Community 360° offices to make telephone calls to past and
poten al donors.
“Canvas & Cabernet”
Hos ng this event for the second year, Madeline
Wahl assembled a great commi ee to plan and host this
event. Some 30 people a ended to enjoy their favorite wine
and try their hand at pain ng. John Rogers, or J.R. as we
know him provided the entertainment. There were mul ple
door prizes as well as some great hors d’oeurves provided by
Spirit World. This event raised $2,000.
Community 360° “Annual Banquet”
Historically, the purpose of the annual banquet was
not to raise support. However, star ng in 2015, an element of
fundraising was added to the event. A dona on of $25 per
person was suggested to a endees. However, volunteers
who expressed a desire to a end the event were free. As a
result, $3,143.44 was raised which covered the cost of the
event. Going forward, it is our inten on to make this a major
fundraising event for Community 360°. A very special “thank
you” is in order for Madeline Wahl and the banquet
commi ee.
Community 360° Year End Le er
Our last fundraising effort for the year is our year end
le er. For 2015, , Madeline Wahl, with the help of Rebel
Interac ve designed an outstanding fundraising piece that
produced an 11% response rate and $8,613.42 in financial
support. Again, we are grateful for the generosity of our
financial partners!
Volunteer Giving Programs
Several of our volunteer’s employers benefit
Community 360° by dona ng funds based on the number of
hours volunteered. These employers include: Union Pacific,
PayPal, and Apple. In addi on, several employers match their
employees dona ons to Community 360°. These companies
include Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Merck, and once again,
Development

Union Pacific, PayPal and Apple. The total of these dona ons
comes to $4,924.
Grants
During 2015, Community 360° through the efforts of
Madeline Wahl, enlisted the services of “do ed i wri ng
services” led by Natalie Simmonds. Ms. Simmonds is in the
process of researching likely funders and developing grants
for a variety of needs to include: 1)a development officer, 2)
webinar pla orm, 3)upgrades to our training equipment, and
4)development of marke ng materials to name a few
projects.
