F A M I L Y N E W S L E T T E R

A TIME FOR RENEWAL AND GROWTH

As we reflect on this past year’s accomplishments as well as the challenges we faced, we also look ahead to this coming year and have much to be grateful for. I would like to extend my best wishes to

you and your family for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

In keeping with our ongoing commitment for community outreach and education regarding dementia-related issues, I want to invite you to a special program entitled, “Providing Quality Memory Care for Your Loved One” on Sunday, September 9 from 11am – noon at Montefiore including hard hat tours of the new Assisted Living Memory Care pavilion. You’ll hear from Dr. Lori Stevic-Rust, Montefiore’s dementia program advisor and Kristen Morelli, memory care program manager – both experts who are leading the charge in innovative programming for both clients and their family members for the new pavilion (see page 7 for details). Montefiore is very excited to be a leader in creating this uniquely designed space coming to our campus in October.

I also want to invite you to our community-wide Senior Living Health Expo on Sunday, October 14 from 11am – 4 pm for an inspirational day of health and wellness activities. We are especially pleased to present Dr. Marc E. Agronin, renowned aging expert who will deliver a lunchtime keynote address on “How We Age – A Doctor’s Journey into the Heart of Growing Old.” Our sincere thanks to the Mt. Sinai Health Care Foundation for their generous grant which enabled us to present this Expo free to the public (see page 10 for details).

In other exciting news, you have probably heard that we were awarded a $1 million grant from the Maltz Family Foundation to name Montefiore’s proposed hospice and palliative care pavilion – a beautiful new home for the exceptional services of the Vinney Hospice and Palliative Care program. We are deeply grateful to the Maltz family for their ongoing support of Montefiore (see pages 7 and 9 for details).

Wishing you and yours a peaceful New Year filled with the love of family and friends.

2 • MONTEFIORE FAMILY NEWSLETTER

As summer comes to an end, we give thanks to the over 159 new and returning junior volunteers who graciously focused their time and efforts to help make Montefiore and The Weils a little bit brighter this summer. One simple gesture at a time – folding warm laundry, stocking chips and pop at the Posh Nosh or punching perfectly-aligned holes in office documents – the juniors added personal touches to all areas of the organization and found many treasures of their own in the process. “I enjoyed the people in general and of course, the residents,” says Ryan Wexler, a student at Mayfield Middle School.

Even when the weather failed to cooperate at key summer events, (the dedication of the new Entrance Gardens, the Olympic-themed employee appreciation picnic and some of the residents’ courtyard picnics), the junior volunteers dutifully welcomed attendees by serving delectable eats, along with a ray of sunshine that no weather report could discourage.

Regardless of the rainfall, their signature optimism shone through. “What made my time at Montefiore so great is knowing that I can help in some way – by serving food to a resident at the Posh Nosh or doing office work. I know “a little” counts a lot,” says Jacob Enders of Kenston High School. Adds Brandon Rock, a student at Solon High School, “I’m so appreciative of the chance to work with the residents and get to know them, talk to them, help them and make them smile.”

On Thursday, July 12, junior volunteers participated in the 7th annual Montefiore Idol talent show (see photo on page 9) earning rave reviews while performing for residents and staff. In the end, 14-year old Jacob Sherman from Highland Heights, a skilled pianist, became the worthy winner.

Montefiore served many enrichment purposes for its young volunteers this summer. In June, high school students from SAY (Social Advocates for Youth) took a field trip to Montefiore and assisted with tasks on every floor of the building. In addition, The Camp STEP Boys Choir, under the leadership of Rabbi Chaim Ellis, made

its 6th appearance for a “Summer Bein HaMetzarim Concert.” Over 40 young boys, in bow ties and formal attire, sang an uplifting collection of songs to the residents. (See photos on page 9).

Recognition, appreciation, and even some tears overflowed at the annual Junior Volunteer Recognition on Thursday, August 16, 2012. Sponsored by The Fannie and Milly Cadkin Endowment Fund and the Volunteer Appreciation Fund of The Montefiore Foundation, this superhero-themed event honored juniors for their extraordinary accomplishments both measured (nearly 3500 collective hours of service) and immeasurable.

Montefiore Junior Volunteer of the Year, Zach Walton, a recent graduate of University School, reflected on how much he learned since coming to Montefiore at the age of 12. A fixture over the past six years during the school year and summer alike, Zach has been instrumental in making events such as the Auxiliary Ice Cream Social and holiday meals for Rosh Hashanah and Passover even more successful.

Sixteen-year old Tyler Barr is no stranger at The Weils. The residents there have watched Tyler grow into a compassionate young man. Along with his family, he has been volunteering at the weekly Bingo game since 2010, accumulating more than 145 hours of community service. Tyler also tutors residents on the computer and has recently begun to play games with the memory care residents.

HEROISM: IT STILL EXISTS As we approach the High

Holidays, we might wonder: what could we possibly learn? What could we possibly hear that is new? A good question, but then again: rising to our

full capacity as human beings is always something to consider and a recent book published by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem offers us an abundance of heroes who risked their lives to save others.

Here is one example of a man who stood up against his whole village in order to save a family of nine Jews.

A survivor tells this story. Her uncle gathered up his family in Bessarabia (now Moldova) at the outbreak of the war, in order to reach the safety of the Soviet border – several days journey by horse and wagon. After a few days, exhausted, they stopped at a farm house hoping for rest.

But they were soon accosted by a few strongly built men ”with murder in their eyes“ who asked about their belongings and their money and then left.

Realizing that even stopping here was not safe, they stepped outside only to find the whole village assembled outside the house facing them. They begged for help in reaching the Soviet border. But none would budge. Suddenly, a youngish looking man stepped forward and said, “I will take you!” The others tried to shut him up, even letting him know what he could expect from them later on. He stood his ground, shouting, “You want to kill them. I will not allow it!”

The surviving daughter recounts: “I remember that night as if it was yesterday: a full moon, clear skies, a warm and beautiful night. The man took us out of the danger zone, bid us farewell and left. My uncle and father tried to pay this honest and dear man, but he categorically refused.”

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, let us turn to heroes, those who rose mightily to the occasion and see what we might learn and gain for ourselves.

May you and your loved ones be inscribed in the Book of Life for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

We are very excited that a $1 million grant from the Maltz Family Foundation, and $500,000 in additional gifts from Montefiore’s generous capital donors, jumpstarted architectural planning for our Hospice and Palliative Care Pavilion. Site visits to successful hospice pavilions have begun to help our planning team collect state-of-the-art concepts to ignite our imagination for this elegant and peaceful life-affirming space.

Construction of Montefiore’s

Assisted Living Memory Care Pavilion is well underway, with its completion set for October. This uniquely designed, secure and homelike environment will serve individuals with early- to mid-stage dementia who need assisted living and memory care support. Specialized programming and services will be provided for those whose needs go beyond the care in traditional assisted living but who do not need comprehensive services at a nursing home level.

BEVERLY GANS, VICE PRESIDENTMONTEFIORE FOUNDATION

TWO CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS LAUNCHED AT MONTEFIORE

K I M ’ S K O R N E R

As the Montefiore Foundation’s Development Officer, I have the opportunity to work on diverse and myriad projects… all with the common goal of collaborating with current and potential donors

to support the crucial work of Montefiore and The Weils. I am excited to let you know about a few new (and not so new) fund-raising initiatives of the Foundation.

• Earlier this spring we launched a newly-updated and user-friendly online giving form, allowing donors to make a gift to the annual fund, in honor or in memory of someone, or to any of our 200+ funds at the click of (a few) buttons. Visit montefiorecare.org and click on “Giving Opportunities.”

• As of July 1, donors to our Annual Fund are able to target their gift to the areas of greatest need (unrestricted) or to one of six programmatic priorities. Although unrestricted dollars allow us the greatest flexibility, we recognize that some donors prefer to focus their gift on areas which are nearest to their hearts. We hope you will join us as a donor to this year’s annual campaign.

• Philanthropy is a wonderful and time-honored way to recognize someone for doing a job well, brightening your day, or making a difference in your life. Celebrate someone special in your life by making a tribute gift to say a very special thank you, wish a happy birthday, or extend condolences.

As always, you can give online (see note above) or call 216.910.2350 to make a gift over the phone. You can also download a printable donation form on the Foundation’s section of montefiorecare.org. Of course, if you would like to learn more about giving opportunities at Montefiore or The Weils, contact me directly at 216.910.2652 or e-mail [email protected].

Appreciatively yours, Kim

Montefiore ReceivesLead Support of

$1 Million from the Maltz Family Foundation

for Hospice and Palliative Care PavilionThe Montefiore Foundation proudly

announces a $1 million grant from the Maltz Family Foundation, a supporting organization of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, for Montefiore’s proposed hospice and palliative care pavilion – a 3000 square-foot addition – a very beautiful home for the exceptional services of the Vinney Hospice and Palliative Care program.

With its own private entrance and ample parking, nine patient rooms and life-affirming communal spaces where families can visit with loved ones, this elegant new hospice pavilion will support Montefiore’s vision to provide compassionate care in a soothing and nurturing environment for those facing life-limiting illnesses. Lauren Rock, Montefiore president and CEO explained, “Through strategic planning and our vision to fill a much-needed service to the entire community, it became more apparent as our program was growing, that the patients and families we serve could be much better supported in a new and expanded space on our Beachwood campus. We are so grateful to the Maltz family for their continuing support and generosity to Montefiore.”

There will be an indoor garden and living room which overlooks an outdoor healing garden both with soothing water features. Patient rooms will be furnished in warm, calming colors. Art, music, massage and Reiki therapies will take place in the wellness space and a consultation room will double as an overnight option for family along with a private dining area and a meditation/quiet room available 24/7.

Montefiore’s senior Living HeaLtH expo


Lilly Rothschild has the best recipe for making a mitzvah. By mixing love with tikkun olam, she is developing very special support for Montefiore and the Alzheimer’s Association. A seventh grader at Gross Schechter Day School, Lilly has designed a mitzvah project for her upcoming Bat Mitzvah to honor the memory of her beloved grandfather, Bill Timbers.

“He was a loving and funny man who would make you feel so special, and he would never want anyone to suffer the way he did,” says Lilly. As a result of her special bond with her grandfather, Lilly is raising money to support Montefiore’s Assisted Living Memory Care Pavilion and the Alzheimer’s Association.

Her idea to plan several bake sales seemed logical – cookies make you happy, so what a great way to raise money while making people happy. All the sweets were prepared by Lilly and her mom, Debbie Rothschild. Trays of brownies, blueberry cobbler and dozens of cookies were sold, raising $370 in just a few hours. In addition to the bake sales, a letter describing Lilly’s project was mailed to family and friends. Thus far, $1500 has been raised for Montefiore and $1200 for the Alzheimer’s Association.

The letter drew responses from many people responding with gifts and meaningful stories about her grandfather.

The most rewarding part of the mitzvah project was Lilly’s realization that she can make a difference in the lives of other people. Knowing that other people are supporting her cause and benefiting from her efforts gives her hope that there will be a cure for Alzheimer’s and that she will be able to help provide comfort for future memory care residents at Montefiore.

To help support Lilly Rothschild’s efforts to raise money for Montefiore’s Assisted Living Memory Care Pavilion, please contact Beverly Gans at 216.910.2633 or e-mail [email protected].

The Garden of Aging

There is a beauty in agingIt is much like a garden

As the seasons change so does our soulThe beauty of life is in the changes And the changes make us whole

We bloom with spring and summerAnd find solace in autumn and winter

The seeds that are planted will bloom again

And create a new garden for us to tend, much like our soul.

– Sarah Markowitz, 2012 Marketing Intern
