IT’S ALL IN THE NUMBERS
Let’s celebrate our accomplishments!
• In 2019, volunteers provided almost 1000 hours of face-to-face visits to 100 different patients.
• We currently have 46 active volunteers.
• Our volunteers are a diverse group, ranging in age from 18 to 84, with an average age of 57.
• 70% of volunteers are female; 30% are male.
• While all volunteers speak English, we also have a few volunteers who speak Spanish, German,
Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hebrew/ Yiddish, American Sign Language and Twi.
• Several volunteers help out in the office, a few volunteer as a team with their pet dog, and the
rest are out in the field visiting our patients.
• The JHC Hospice Team has also grown. We currently have 14 nurses, 11 Home Health Aides, 4
social workers, 3 chaplains, 2 massage therapists, and 2 music therapists.
• Our average census for 2019 was 88 patients per day.
WELCOME TO OUR MOST
RECENT TRAINING CLASS
Please welcome the thirteen new volunteers who
completed their volunteer training with us this past fall.
Most have already begun visiting patients, including our
cohort from the College of the Holy Cross.
Each fall, all first-year students from Holy Cross
participate in a year-long introductory seminar course.
Many of these courses are community-based learning
courses where students volunteer with Worcester agencies providing weekly
service or project-based work. One community-based learning course is “Death and Society.”
All students enrolled in this course participate all over the greater Worcester area in hospice
volunteer trainings like ours. We are fortunate that we welcomed six students to our Fall training
this past year. Students partake in the training during their fall semester as part of their “Death and
Society” course, and then are matched with patients during their spring semester. Several of these
volunteers continue to volunteer even after their course requirements are complete.
Bereavement Support Group
If you are suffering a loss of a loved one and need support on
your journey of grieving, join us in a place of safety and comfort.

JHC HOSPICE PARTNERS WITH
“WE HONOR VETERANS” PROGRAM
JHC Hospice is proud to partner with “We Honor Veterans”, a program of the National Hospice and
Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA). “We Honor Veterans” focuses on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful
acknowledgement of our patients’ service to our country. Through recognition of our veterans and
families unique needs, JHC Hospice will identify how to support and guide them towards a more
peaceful and dignified end of life experience.
As partners of “We Honor Veterans”, JHC Hospice will continuously provide our team with
education and training on veteran centric care needs and interventions. We will work collaboratively
with our local VA to connect our veterans and their families with support and resources within their
community. Veterans will be able to narrate their service experience through a specialized military
assessment completed by our team. Through this valuable information, veterans and their families
will have the opportunity to take part in our honorary pinning ceremonies, alongside the hospice
interdisciplinary team. During our ceremonies patients are presented with honorary items specific
to their branch of service. These ceremonies will solidify our veterans’ identity with their service,
give families a greater understanding of their experiences, and build strong, trusting connections
with our team. JHC Hospice is an official “We Honor Veterans” recruit and is proudly working
towards earning their stars as a level one partner.
SISTER PAT’S RETIREMENT PARTY
JHC celebrated Sister Pat’s career and dedication to JHC and other causes on July 31, 2019. She
was celebrated by long-time friends and colleagues, and presented the Key to the City.
Jewish Healthcare benefited tremendously when Sister Pat joined the JHC Hospice team in 2012.
With her well-honed and seasoned skills, she provided spiritual care, outreach, and education
and helped to develop the next generation of hospice providers. Through her shining example
and practical guidance, she has helped to shape JHC Hospice into the highly regarded and
compassionate program that it is today. She celebrates 60 years as a Sister of Mercy and has
provided 50 years of nursing service. This is not simply a career. This is a life full of purpose,
meaning, and love. Who she is has helped us to become who we are. Her influence and legacy will
continue to shed light for a very, very long time to come.

JHC HomeCare
An Affiliate of Jewish Healthcare Center
JHC HomeCare and Hospice recently initiated a new software system called Brightree. Our staff
now have iPads and “live” connections in the field which enable them increased ability to provide
more efficient and quality patient care.
We currently serve 210 patients in the community. We currently have 33 field clinicians (Nurses,
Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologist, Social Workers and
Home Care Aides) who provide exceptional care in the home.
JHC HomeCare has successfully adapted to the new Patient Driven Grouping Model (PDGM)
regulation brought forward by The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). JHC

JHC LifeCare Management
An Affiliate of Jewish Healthcare Center
JHC LifeCare Management is the newest division of the
Jewish Healthcare Center. It was started in May 2019 when
the Center acquired Deborah Fins Associates, PC, one of
the oldest and most respected Aging Life Care™ practices
in Central Massachusetts.
The founder of Deborah Fins Associates, PC, Debbie
Fins, continues as Director of the new JHC LifeCare
Management. Her associate, Susan Ritz, continues as well,
and we are growing. We added another part-time care
manager, Nicole Kanis and Lorna Pezzanelli administrative
assistant.
JHC LifeCare Management partners with families and Deb Fins, Susa
n Ritz, Nicole
elders to provide personalized and compassionate Kanis, Lorna Pe
zzanelli
decision-making and support to the challenges of aging. Aging Life
Care™ is a growing field of private-pay services to ease the family’s journey.
Our services include: comprehensive functional assessments of needs; care plan development,
implementation and supervision; serving as eyes and ears for a long-distance family; guidance
in selecting the most appropriate care; referrals to other elder care professionals as needed;
identifying resources for financial support including completion of benefits applications and
guidance through the long term care insurance claim process; assistance with negotiating complex
family dynamics; guidance and support for planning and decisions about end-of-life care.
As a private service, we are often involved with our families and clients for years and see them
through the many stages of aging and illness.
The health care system is growing more complicated by the day and an Aging Life Care
Professional® can help a stressed family to navigate it successfully. From May 1 through December
31, 2019, JHC LifeCare Management spoke to nearly 120 different individuals about their needs, met
with over 50 elders or families, and continued to serve a caseload of 70.

JHC Center News
Rehab Success Story - Art Greenseid!
Art Greenseid joined us in September of 2018
after complications from a liver transplant.
His surgery was performed at UMASS Medical
Center, and after three weeks at another facility,
Art was brought to JHC for recuperation and
therapy.
When Art arrived at JHC, he had muscle ataxia
and could not walk, sit or move himself in the
wheelchair. He was dependent in all areas and
needed maximum assistance with simple tasks
like eating. He needed to build up his muscle
strength and had a long road ahead of him.
After one-year and two months, and a hard
working journey of daily rehabilitation sessions,
Art was granted the green-light to go home (Nov. 8, 2019). He can now sit up, wheel
himself around, ride the bikes in the vigor room, and walk with a walker.
Art and his wife Bobbie, were thrilled with the care they received, and the friendliness of
all the staff at JHC. Art worked closely with Tom, Pat, Tammie and Wennie in the Rehab
Therapy department, who he praised for their dedicated care. They were also very pleased
with the entire rehab staff and the staff on the third and fourth floors at JHC, and said:
“They really care about you.”

STAFF HOLIDAY PARTY
In January, JHC hosted a fabulous holiday party for over 160 staff members and guests at the
Wachusett Country Club. Staff members enjoyed contests and raffles donated by board members,
directors and local businesses. What a fun night out!
DAVID PRICE
Let me introduce you to David Price, our new Executive Director of the Eisenberg Residence.
David was a former engineer who made a career change into our world. David owned
BrightStar Care for eight years before he sold it. This is an agency similar to our own JHC
PrivateCare. He has earned a Certificate in Assisted Living to go along with a BS from Bucknell
and two MS degrees from BU. Our references came from Debbie Fins and Alan Stoll, both
knowing him from the work environment. He has great people skills, business sense, and
organization (from his engineering years). David has been very active in several advocacy
associations, and is known by many people. We are thrilled to add him to our team.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS AT JHC!
Did you know that JHC provides scholarships to our qualified and eligible employees?
• We have a CNA Certification program for eligible staff who have a passion for working in direct
patient care that is paid by JHC.
• We also have a scholarship program for qualified health care staff who would like to continue
their education. This enables our Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) to bridge over to Licensed
Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) to become Registered Nurses (LN).
• In addition, we also offer tuition assistance for staff that are not part of this program, but want
to further their education.

RECREATIONAL THERAPY
DEPARTMENT
We continue to look at providing new and fun activities
for our residents as well as look to continue to provide a
comfortable and welcoming environment. We recently
purchased ten new replacement chairs for the Namaste
room on the fifth floor along with new plush blankets and
fresh homey linens for our sensory programming. Since
the Namaste program focuses on later stage dementia
programming and how best to meet the unique activity
needs these residents have, comfortable recliners and
warm inviting blankets enhance that experience.
Activity Staff Professionals Week
We started off our more traditional recreational
programming with some new activity options on the third
floor and fifth floors. The Club Room on 5th floor recently
added a volleyball game featuring nets that clip on the
tables and creatively use fly swatters for hitting a balloon
over to the other team. The third floor has a weekly
happy hour for socializing and added a giant crossword
puzzle game for a large group to finish together.
Each floor is offered regularly scheduled opportunities to
arrange flowers as a group and either take them back to
their rooms or use as dining room décor.
Finally, we are using quite a bit of technology to enhance
group programs through activity programming software,
the use of HDMI connectors to the televisions to take Namaste Room
advantage of the internet, and iPads for residents to use
individually.
GIFT SHOP NEWS
Students from Assumption College have been
working in the gift shop as clerks for many
years through the work study program, which
is a federal program that pays students to
perform jobs both on and off campus. This
is of no cost to the facility and the students
work during each school semester in fall and
spring. As of January, students have worked in
the gift shop for approximately 275 hours. This
is an enormous help to ensure the gift shop
is stocked, maintained, and open for business
during the week. As always, we are constantly
getting new seasonal merchandise in. Please
stop in to browse and purchase!

From the President, Barbara Salitsky
In June 2019, I took over as President of the Auxiliary of the
Jewish Healthcare Center. This is a new experience for me. After
almost 90 years of existence, the Auxiliary has had to make
changes. Years ago, we were very hands on with the patients
and staff but as times changed, so did the Auxiliary.
With the thought of extinction, I stepped up to take the reins
and revitalize the organization. My main goal is to entice a new
generation of women (and men) to join the Auxiliary and plan
activities and fundraisers that are both fun and informative.
Since June, we have had three very successful events; our
annual Donor Luncheon with a “make you own” ice cream
sundae bar, a movie night with a screening of Hava Nagila: The
Movie with wine and hors d’oeuvres, and in conjunction with
the Worcester JCC, an author event and signing with Randy
Susan Meyers, author of Waisted: A Novel.
We hope to see you at our luncheon card party on April 1,
2020, and our annual donor luncheon on September 30, 2020,
as well as the many more exciting events we are planning
including a “Movie Club”.
In Memory of Carole Sigel
It is with great sadness that we remember Carole Sigel. She held the office
of recording secretary for the Auxiliary for over ten years. She was also on
the Donor committee, and enjoyed checking in the guests at our annual
luncheon. She was a life member of the Jewish Healthcare Center, and the
Auxiliary (along with her husband George, who is also a current Associate
member). Her smiling face will be missed by the board and all who knew her.
~Lois Singer, Auxiliary Past President

JHC HomeCare | JHC PrivateCare | JHC Hospice | JHC LifeCare | Elsenberg Assisted Living 15Auxiliary News 2019 Donor Luncheon We have had a very fun-filled year. The theme of our September 18th donor event was Happy “Sweet” New Year, which was decorated with New Year’s Eve hats, streamers and leis. We had a wonderful luncheon with an exceptional “make your own” Ice Cream Sundae bar and, of course, dozens of fabulous raffles. In December, we had a wine and appetizer movie night. The 50 Auxiliary members watched “Hava Nagila: the Movie” as they snacked on popcorn. Because of the event’s great success, we are planning on more movie events. Thank you all for participating.

FAQ’s
• What is a legacy gift? It is a gift of an asset after you pass away.
• Who should sign up? Everyone. This is not just for the wealthy or the seniors. There is no expectation
of payment while you are living.
• Why wouldn’t I leave all of my estate to my children? Legacy gifts are usually only a percentage of
your estate and demonstrate to your heirs your commitment to Jewish values.
• Does the gift have to be money or can other things be given? Legacy gifts can take many forms:
stocks, bonds, real estate, retirement assets, cash, life insurance proceeds, etc.
• How much should I bequeath? There is no correct amount – it varies from person to person – and you
don’t even have to give an amount.
• Can I change my gift later? Yes - if your circumstances change you can adjust the amount of your gift.
• What are the ways I can leave a legacy gift? There are many ways, including making a bequest in a will
or trust, naming JHC as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or an IRA or pension fund, giving a gift
of cash or assets, setting up a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust. Please consult your
professional advisor to determine which method of giving is best for you.
• How do I sign up? The first step is to fill out a letter of intent on the following page and send it to JHC
or the Jewish Federation of Central MA.
