New home of JHC’s Hospice and Homecare Offices - 646 Salisbury Street
JHC CAMPUS NEWS
By now you may have heard that the JHC has
purchased 646 Salisbury Street, former site of Jewish
Family & Children’s Services (JF & CS). JF & CS has
been at this location for the past 10 years. Permitting
was approved by the City of Worcester on February
12, 2018. We anticipate a closing around April 1st.
JF & CS will then relocate. Our plan is to move JHC
Hospice and HomeCare to this new location, literally
Steve Willens Joel Greenberg
Chief Executive Officer across the street. President
We have approximately 20 administrative employees that will occupy the building. This will
significantly reduce the current overcrowded situation at the Home. In keeping with the residential
nature of the building, this will be office personnel only, typically working Monday through Friday,
between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM. All of the therapy staff that delivers these clients’ clinical
services will see their patients wherever they reside in the community. These two programs have a
very bright future as part of the Jewish Healthcare Center’s array of services.

Changing Places
After 23 1/2 years at JHC, Anne Marie Jette, Director of Clinical Services retired at the end of
2017. Anne’s concentration was always on the clinical care, while Steve Willens handled the
financial side. Anne was responsible for setting up our Subacute, Hospice, HomeCare,
and PrivateCare programs. Vinny Librandi, Eisenberg Executive Director, has been promoted to
Chief Operating Officer at the Home to take over many of Anne’s former responsibilities
through reorganization. Anne’s daily presence and expertise will be greatly missed.
We wish her well splitting her time between Spencer and Florida.

Eisenberg Assisted Living - Vitalize 360
In November 2017, the Eisenberg Assisted Living Residence
introduced an exciting personalized wellness coaching program
entitled Vitalize 360. Vitalize 360 is designed to promote and
support individuals in their pursuit of optimal wellness. At the
core of the program, it asks participants to identify what matters
most to them so that they can live their best lives, by their
definition, and vibrantly age in place.
Vitalize 360 does not just look at one aspect of an individual.
It embraces a holistic (i.e., 360 degree) approach to a person’s well-being. Vitalize 360 makes a commitment
to the concept of total health and incorporates various dimensions of wellness including: physical, spiritual,
emotional, intellectual and social facets of well-being.
Each Vitalize 360 participant is paired with a coach. The coach and resident establish a meaningful rapport
through conversations that are built on trust, honesty and positive regard. It is through this collaboration, that
the coach supports the resident in the development of a fulfilling Vitalize Plan which is designed to inspire new
achievements and foster a meaningful and active life.
Vitalize 360 employs an interdisciplinary team approach. Every member of the staff from every division within
the Eisenberg is involved in fully supporting the residents in the pursuit of their Vitalize Goal(s).
In December 2017, a pilot group of 9 residents and 7 coaches (members of the Leadership team) comprised
an initial pilot group to launch the program. The Eisenberg is committed to bring forth a new culture that puts
in the forefront of people’s minds “What matters Most to You?” Stay tuned for updates as this exciting new
program!

Enhancing Our Fifth Avenue Neighborhood
and
Learning about Our Residents
About a year ago, a team of staff from the Fifth Avenue (Alzheimer/Dementia Care Neighborhood)
was just getting the bulk of a large project completed that would help us, and anyone caring for
our residents, know something about each resident’s story. We embarked on collecting a short
story and a picture of each resident to frame and hang outside each resident door. This was an
undertaking that was well worth the effort, as even those of us who have worked at JHC for a
long time were surprised to discover things we didn’t know about our residents. Each story is a
few paragraphs, and gives staff something to talk about with residents, a conversation starter and
a way to relate to these amazing folks we care for and work with each day. We discovered one
resident’s husband proposed on their second date, and another met and was friendly with famous
musicians. We found out that some residents were known in their families for things they said
often, or a beloved recipe. We learned about life long careers, many of our residents were nurses
in healthcare. These little details make a difference in how we view people. We can all relate to
the idea of a marriage proposal being exciting, or the thrill of meeting a talented artist, or the an-
ticipation of a dish only a certain family member can make, or that thing that your dad always says
in times when you are in need of comfort. These framed stories came with some pictures, some
from the 1940s, some beloved photos from a holiday, some from a fairly recent time in a family
home, and some with pets. The connection we can share from these is palpable, and over a year
later, as new residents come to the neighborhood, we look to placing this story in front of their
doors to share a little tidbit from their lives.
Introducing JHC’s New Family Advisory Council
In November 2017, we had our first official meeting of the Family Advisory Council for 3rd and 5th
floor residents. Turnout was excellent and family members were extremely pleased to be given
the opportunity to meet as a group and to be an active part of their loved ones community here at
JHC. Family members met other family members, they discussed ways in which they would like
to contribute to 3rd and 5th floor residents.
The Advisory Council held a New Year card event for Our Troops. 199 cards were sent to Opera-
tion Gratitude to distribute to US troops overseas. A Valentines event was held on February 3,
2018, in which residents and families decorated valentine’s day cards for JHC staff.
Lynn, Ann, Brenda and Alexis would like to thank all family members who are currently attending
the Family Advisory Council meetings and participating in the planned events. Famly members
and loved ones of residents make this Council possible!!
Contact Alexis Silver to learn when the next Family Advisory Council meeting will take place.
Coming soon … Monthly Caregiver Support Group, Contact Alexis Silver for more information.

Spring 2018 12 Jewish Healthcare CenterJHC PRIVATECARE
It’s hard to believe JHC PrivateCare has been up and running for almost 4 years! The program is
busy and growing, but what consistently amazes me is my staff. I have great personal pride in each
and everyone who brings their specific strengths to the clients and their families.
Natalie worked as a housekeeper in the Healthcare Center and put herself through the Certified
Nursing Assistant training program. Her very first client as a CNA was in fact a woman on Hospice.
Natalie’s kindness and compassion meant more than she’ll ever know to this woman and the impres-
sion she made will never be forgotten by that family.
Joyce is an experienced CNA. When she works for you, she runs the show. As a manager, I know I
don’t have to worry about anything when Joyce is on the case.
Laura brings her experience in activities to helping her clients. She has a lot of energy and keeps
her clients busy and engaged. It is clear that Laura loves what she does.
These are only a few examples of the types of quality people who work for JHC PrivateCare. Our
CNAs and Home Health Aides are truly the best in the business, and I can say with confidence that
JHC PrivateCare provides care above the rest!
PrivateCare offers Certified Nurses Aides and Home Health Aides who provide in home assistance
to our clients with personal care, housekeeping and transportation/errands. Although run on a private
pay path, it is often covered by Long Term Care Insurance. Medical health insurance does not pay for
PrivateCare.
I welcome you to call me for more information.

Annual Worcester Florida Reunion 2018
Steve Willens recently attended the Friends of Worcester Florida Reunion in Delray Beach. Over
100 friends gathered to renew acquaintances. Once again, Marvin and Marilyn Shreiar stepped
up with a lead donation of $2,500 for the Home. Another $500 was received as well. Steven
Schimmel from the Worcester Jewish Federation and Rabbi Valerie Cohen from Temple Emanuel
Sinai were on hand to bring greetings as well. The family of the late Rabbi Baruch Goldstein of
Congregation Beth Israel was there to bring back memories of the Rabbi, and read one of his final
writings.

Spring 2018 16 Jewish Healthcare CenterA Message from our Auxiliary President, Lois Singer
OUR LEGACY
For ninety-plus years, The Auxiliary of the Jewish Healthcare Center has main-
tained a strong presence in the “Home” and the Worcester community. In the begin-
ning years, it was a time when organizations and volunteerism were thriving. There
was a strong sense of giving back to the community and selflessly helping those in
need. It was simply a way of life to join the Auxiliary and become an active participant
and volunteer for the good of the residents and the Home.
Our premise has always been “We Can,
We Will, and We Did” throughout the years.
From taking care of orphans and the elderly,
sewing clothes and linens, educating children,
fundraising for the needs of the residents, to
helping with the multiple moves across the
City. The Auxiliary was always there. Among
the many purchases provided by the Auxiliary
was the first van to transport residents, and
the first computers for the business office.
In addition, the tapestry in the Chapel,
the Comfort Quilt, and the Tile Wall in the
lobby are all beautiful, and a testament to the
volunteers who did the work and made these
projects possible. Wherever you look in the
Healthcare Center, the Auxiliary’s presence is
seen and felt.
Change comes like shifting sands. Demographic changes, more senior resi-
dents spending extended periods of time in warmer climates, and moves to the sub-
urbs for younger families, have impacted our membership base. It is not the strong,
thriving and active Auxiliary as it had been in the past years. In order for us to keep
up with these changing times, the Auxiliary must update its image, including how to
continue to support the Healthcare Center and continue to be a viable and visible or-
ganization.
We intend to always be “The Heart of the Home”, and with your support and
suggestions, we will go forward and continue our great legacy in new ways that meet
the needs of the Healthcare Center and the residents.
