A Trustee of the SCS Foundation Board and former long-time Board
member, Ilse Melamid is an integral member of the Selfhelp family and an
ardent supporter of Selfhelp’s programs for Holocaust survivors. She recently
made an historic contribution to The Fran Eizenstat Legacy Project, which
benefits the last generation of survivors, and was also one of the first donors
to step forward with a leadership gift to this crucial initiative.
“As the sole member of my family to survive
the Holocaust, I feel it is imperative to support
the compassionate care Selfhelp provides to
those who experienced such devastating losses.
It’s a privilege to assist Selfhelp in carrying
out their vital mission.”

Kim Jasmin, Dave Walsh, and their colleagues at JPMorgan Chase and its
Foundation helped with the core financing of Selfhelp’s newest apartment
complex, and provided grant funding for an important amenity, a recreational
green roof. They support Selfhelp because our strength and effectiveness in
preserving housing affordability for New York City’s seniors aligns with the
Foundation’s belief that we share a responsibility to address the economic and
social challenges of vulnerable individuals.
“The JPMorgan Chase Foundation recognizes
that affordable housing is vital to the dignity and
independence of older adults. We salute Selfhelp
as a leading provider of Housing with Services
and are proud to support their newest building.”

John Shalam is the founder of VOXX International, formerly Audiovox,
and an internationally renowned expert in technology. The CEA
Foundation was founded in 2009 to link seniors and people with disabilities
with technology to enhance their lives. The CEA Foundation developed
an interest in supporting Selfhelp’s Virtual Senior Center due to its lifechanging benefits for homebound seniors (see page 22). CEA Foundation
funding has expanded this program to seniors residing in Chicago and San
Diego, who now take part in classes alongside their peers in New York.
“Selfhelp has demonstrated that technology offers
hope and purpose to frail homebound seniors.
The CEA Foundation is exceedingly proud to
award Selfhelp its inaugural grant.”

Ayelet and Aaron Rosen are committed to doing service that impacts the lives
of Holocaust survivors. Selfhelp NextGen provides them with many ways to do
so. The Rosens were each deeply moved by their interviews with two survivors
who suffered Nazi persecution in Hungary, and transcribed the couple’s story
for Selfhelp’s Memoirs Project. They now volunteer at Selfhelp Coffee Houses,
where they treasure their conversations with survivors, and have graciously
hosted a fundraising event in their building.
“Selfhelp NextGen enables us to make a difference
in the lives of Holocaust survivors through social
programs, education, outreach, and fundraising.
We are privileged to assist the last generation of
survivors and to help preserve their legacy.”

As leader of Enterprise’s New York office, Shola Olatoye has been a
wonderful advocate for Selfhelp and our clients. Since 2009, funding from
Enterprise Community Partners has enabled Selfhelp to truly transform
our service capacity by piloting and adopting new models, especially
those which use technology to enhance our programs. Enterprise has also
provided equity financing for our newest affordable housing complex and
for major renovations to our first two buildings.
“Selfhelp is a critical provider of housing
with services. That’s why Enterprise
invited Selfhelp to develop new models
of care by sharing best practices with
other national leaders.”

Shelley Einhorn has been a Selfhelp Board member since 2007.
A committed volunteer, Shelley gave generously of her time and energy
for over two years as the first “e-friendly visitor” through Selfhelp’s Virtual
Senior Center, lifting the spirits and brightening the days of a homebound
senior. The magnanimous support of Shelley, her husband Steven, and
their entire family has enhanced the lives of thousands of Selfhelp clients.
“ Charlotte’s Club honors the memory of my
mother, Charlotte Fredericks, whose warmth and
joie de vivre inspired all who knew her. Our gift
enhances Selfhelp’s senior center with exciting
programming for the mind and spirit.”

Advancements in Independent Living
Selfhelp Housing: A Positive Environment for Residents
20
A New Model for Senior Living
Easy Access to Health Care
Preventing Rehospitalization
In early 2013, Selfhelp’s newest building opened
its doors to residents. The 92-unit affordable
apartment building forms part of our Flushing
campus, which includes five other Selfhelp
buildings and our Innovative Senior Center.
The new building features a recreational green
roof, where residents can enjoy the outdoors.
And, most notably, the residence demonstrates
the integration of client centered technology
with aging services. Secure high-speed wireless
connectivity facilitates the use of touch-screen
computers provided to all residents, access to
Selfhelp’s acclaimed Virtual Senior Center for
homebound seniors, a telehealth kiosk which
assists users in monitoring chronic disease,
unobtrusive apartment-based sensors that send
alerts in case of falls, a Cyber Classroom for
interactive programming, and cognitive games
to keep residents’ minds active.
We are delighted to announce that our
newest housing residence will include a
full service health and wellness center: the
Charles B. Wang Community Health Center.
Construction of the Center will take place
over the next several months with the Center
slated to open in 2014. The Center will
break new ground at Selfhelp by supporting
housing residents, senior center participants,
and community members with convenient
access to high-caliber medical care. This
addition will bring new and important
services to Selfhelp’s Flushing campus and
will help to advance our goal of supporting
residents’ wellness.
A low-cost, low intensity intervention, the
Selfhelp Care Transitions program seeks
to lower unnecessary 30-day readmissions to
hospitals. Part of a national pilot program,
Selfhelp is one of five community-based
participating organizations in New York City.
The program pairs “care coaches” with patients
being discharged from the hospital to help
them and their caregivers to understand and
manage their needs at home. The care coach
follows up with patients in the community
to ensure compliance with their discharge
instructions. The goal of the project is to
minimize the risk of readmission for patients
who are being discharged home.
Selfhelp’s participation in COLLAGE, a
national assessment of the physical and
emotional needs of seniors residing in
affordable housing, yielded some exciting
results. We found that, on the whole,
Selfhelp residents exercise more, suffer
fewer memory problems, are less
lonely, and have less anxiety than their
peers living in other housing programs.
This data is being utilized to develop
programs that specifically target our
residents’ needs.

Home Care Grows in Size and Scope
Expansion is this year’s theme for Selfhelp’s
home care programs. More hours of home care
were provided this year than ever before. We
opened a new home health aide training site
to better accommodate Brooklyn residents,
which joins our existing training programs in
Manhattan and Nassau County. As a highly
regarded provider of training for Spanish
speakers, Selfhelp leadership was invited to
help craft the New York State Department of
Health guidelines for training home health
aides in foreign languages. And, our Certified
Home Health Agency (CHHA) expanded
to serve a larger and more varied client
population with new certification from the
New York State Department of Health.
21
A Laboratory of Innovation
Applying new methods to address changing needs
In 2006, we revised our mission statement
to reflect our commitment to “lead in
applying new methods and technologies to
address changing needs” of older adults.
Informing National Housing Policy
The pioneering Selfhelp Active Services
for Aging Model (SHASAM) attracted
national attention this year. We were invited
by Enterprise Community Partners and
LeadingAge, our national aging services
association, to meet regularly with eleven
other exemplary providers from across the
country. Like Selfhelp, these organizations
support independent living by offering on-site
innovative services, as needed, in affordable
housing. Selfhelp is working with these
leaders to share and develop best practices
in resident engagement, aging services
technology, financial metrics, and performance
outcomes. The long-term goal is to inform
national policy on models of housing with
services for seniors.
22
Protecting Quality of Care
As Selfhelp recognized that sweeping changes
were in store for thousands of Selfhelp clients
dependent on Medicaid to fund their home
care services, we swiftly responded with a new
initiative. To ensure that quality of care would
not be compromised, Selfhelp and F-E-G-S
Health and Human Services launched
SinglePoint Care Network in 2012, to provide
clients with an advocate and partner for securing
long-term care. SinglePoint enables seniors,
and others with chronic medical conditions,
to access the critical services they need to live
independently and to benefit from health care
and community supports.
Breaking the Isolation Barrier
The Virtual Senior Center’s (VSC) transformative
impact now reaches across the country to San
Diego and Chicago and to three new sites in
the New York metropolitan area, thanks to
generous funding from the Consumer Electronics
Association Foundation, the AARP Foundation,
UJA-Federation of New York and the Harriet and
Robert H. Heilbrunn Fund. The VSC uses the
latest technology to connect homebound seniors
with each other and with meaningful interactive
activities such as armchair yoga, computer skills
classes, music classes, current events discussions,
intergenerational activities, museum tours,
and more. Grant funding is also supporting an
evidence-based research effort to determine the
effect of the VSC on health and wellness. In the
words of one participant, who shared her story
with Congress via a VSC video chat session: “The
program is truly extraordinary. We’re homebound. It’s
a gift. I live alone but I don’t feel alone.”
Major support from our partners has enabled
us to pilot, adopt, and develop best-in-class
devices that improve the quality of life, health
and safety of our clients.

The number of Holocaust survivor clients served by
Selfhelp has more than tripled since 1996—from 1,541
to 5,384. These findings may seem counterintuitive as
there are fewer living Holocaust survivors each year.
Our high numbers reflect the intense needs of the
survivors we serve. As they age, they become
increasingly frail and begin to turn to us for care.
Commemorating Heroism
Preserving the Legacy
The Need Remains Great
A Fitting Tribute
Mounted in partnership with the Defiant
Requiem Foundation and UJA-Federation
of New York, The Defiant Requiem: Verdi at
Terezín held its New York City debut before a
sold-out audience on April 29, 2013, at Avery
Fisher Hall. The concert-drama paid tribute
to the brave prisoners of Theresienstadt who
performed the Verdi Requiem sixteen times
as an act of defiance against the Nazis. With
concert expenses underwritten by donors,
every ticket sold went directly to assisting New
York City and Long Island’s aging Holocaust
survivors. There are 65,000 survivors in the
metropolitan area, over half of whom live at
or near the poverty level. As the largest provider
of services to this population in North America,
serving over 5,300 individuals a year,
Selfhelp received fifty percent of the proceeds.
On April 7, 2013, Selfhelp launched the
New York City debut of Witness Theater in
partnership with the Yeshiva of Flatbush.
Conceived and performed widely in Israel
by JDC-Eshel, this intergenerational
project pairs a group of Holocaust survivors
with teenagers. The group meets weekly
over the course of a year to develop a
dramatic presentation of the testimonies
of the survivors, culminating in a public
performance. So powerful was the experience
for both the students and survivors that
Selfhelp and the Yeshiva of Flatbush have
renewed their partnership this year.
In April, we released our 2013 population
study, Holocaust Survivors in New York, Today
through 2025, which updates our original
2009 report. Using new data from UJAFederation of New York, we now project that
there will still be 23,400 Holocaust survivors
living in the New York City metropolitan
area in 2025. Of these, we expect that 35
percent will be coping with serious or chronic
illness, 41 percent will need help with daily
tasks, and 52 percent will be “poor” by Federal
definition. Selfhelp is committed to providing
home health care, financial assistance and
many other essential services as this last
generation of Holocaust survivors ages and
their needs increase.
Selfhelp’s Project Legacy was created to
ensure the necessary funding to care for the
last generation of Holocaust survivors—
specifically those who are frail, alone, and,
much too often, impoverished. The initiative
supports Selfhelp’s comprehensive programs
and services for elderly survivors, enabling
them to live with comfort and dignity.
It is undeniably fitting that this vital project
has been renamed to honor the memory
of Fran Eizenstat, who deeply believed in
its mission. Together, Ambassador Stuart
Eizenstat and his wife Fran brought its
message to their friends and colleagues,
sharing the plight of the Holocaust survivors
served by Selfhelp. Ambassador Eizenstat
serves as the Honorary Chairman of
Selfhelp’s Fran Eizenstat Legacy Project.

Overview of Programs and Services
Nazi Victim Services
The largest program of its kind in North America, Selfhelp offers a full continuum
of care for survivors of the Holocaust, including comprehensive case management,
financial management/guardianship, social programs, emergency financial assistance,
and home care services.
Affordable Senior Housing
Selfhelp’s nine affordable apartment buildings offer seniors the opportunity to lead
independent lives in a warm and supportive environment. Each dwelling has
emergency response systems and closed-circuit TV surveillance in the lobby.
Residents have access to on-site services, including health and wellness, social work,
skilled nursing and home care, if and when needed.
Home Health Care
A leading provider of home health care in the New York City metropolitan area, Selfhelp
annually delivers over two million hours of home care to elderly, frail individuals
and families at-risk. Services are designed to maintain independent living and include
skilled nursing, assistance with activities of daily living, housekeeping, homemaking
and therapeutic care. Selfhelp’s highly regarded training program provides high-caliber
education and certification to 350 home health aides each year.
Senior Centers
Community Guardianship
Selfhelp’s five senior centers, including one of the first to be designated by the City of New
York as an Innovative Senior Center, offer a wide variety of life-enhancing programs
such as computer classes, health and wellness workshops, concerts, and lectures, as well as
nutritious meals for seniors living in the surrounding communities. Three of these senior
centers are now key sites for Selfhelp’s expanding Virtual Senior Center.
Selfhelp’s Community Guardian Program serves as court-appointed legal guardian for
clients referred by Adult Protective Services (APS), who are over 18 years of age and
unable to manage their financial or domestic affairs.
Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs)
Selfhelp NORC programs provide senior residents in four large cooperative housing
complexes with the supportive services they need to continue living in their own homes.
Selfhelp’s on-site services include case management, counseling, health screenings, and
social, recreational, and educational programs.
Case Management
Selfhelp’s four comprehensive Case Management Programs perform evaluations and
coordinate services to help seniors live independently in their own homes. Counseling
is offered regarding entitlements and benefits that may be available, such as financial
assistance, home delivered meals, and chore services.
Senior Source
For adults seeking a portal of entry for all health and other forms of care, Senior Source
provides access to a Care Manager 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A fee-for-service
geriatric care management program, Senior Source helps clients and their families
navigate the maze of health care and residential options, monitor and support ongoing
care, and prepare for future care needs.
Alzheimer’s Programs
The Selfhelp Alzheimer’s Resource Program (SHARP) provides social adult day care,
assessment and referral, together with music therapy and other social activities for
individuals in the early to mid-stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The program also offers
support groups for caregivers.
26
See page 44 for a complete list of program contacts.
www.selfhelp.net
SinglePoint Care Network, LLC
Selfhelp’s senior centers give clients opportunities to
discover new talents and learn new skills.
A specialty care management company, SinglePoint offers integrated healthcare
management solutions. SinglePoint coordinates benefits, arranges services, and manages
the overall care of members, in partnership with managed long term care organizations.
Selfhelp Innovations
Selfhelp has pioneered a number of technologies aimed at enhancing the quality of later
life. From congregate telehealth services to Virtual Senior Center programming, Selfhelp
continually seeks new “high-tech, high-touch” models to maintain wellness and to re-engage
and energize vulnerable, isolated seniors across New York City as well as nationwide.

Thank You to Our Essential Partners
Alisa Robbins Doctoroff
President
Linda Mirels
Chair of the Board
John S. Ruskay, Ph.D.
Executive VP & CEO
UJA-FEDERATION
of New York
We take this opportunity to publicly thank UJA-Federation of New York for their
ongoing support and commitment to Selfhelp Community Services.
A partner extraordinaire, UJA-Federation provides Selfhelp with invaluable support for
both our fundamental programs and our pioneering initiatives. They work with us, side
by side, to promote innovative solutions to issues facing our community. They are tireless
advocates for those we serve and have strengthened their commitment to Holocaust
survivors, Selfhelp’s historic population.
This past year, Selfhelp was most fortunate to work closely with senior staff and lay leaders
at UJA-Federation and the Defiant Requiem Foundation in launching the New York City
debut of the Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín. The concert resulted in much needed funding
for Selfhelp’s Holocaust survivor population, and increased awareness of their needs.

Executive Vice President
The Conference on
Jewish Material Claims Against Germany
Selfhelp salutes The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany
(Claims Conference) for their unwavering and steadfast commitment to Holocaust
survivors worldwide. Selfhelp has been fortunate to receive substantial support that has
enabled us to serve tens of thousands of victims of Nazi persecution.
PA RT N E R S & SUPPORTERS
THANK YOU
We thank our many partners,
supporters and donors without whom our
shared mission could not be realized.
Selfhelp and the Claims Conference share a collaborative history dating back for
more than 50 years. The Claims Conference has played an essential role in enabling
Selfhelp to expand its services to meet the increasing needs of victims of Nazi persecution
throughout the New York City metropolitan area.
Claims Conference funding has been invaluable in enabling Selfhelp to open and operate
new sites in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Nassau County, and they continue to support
our Queens and Manhattan locations. These programs make our services more accessible
to the 65,000 Holocaust survivors living throughout New York City and Long Island.
The warm partnership that Selfhelp enjoys with our colleagues at UJA-Federation
has offered us entrée to their network of relationships throughout the wider
New York community. Some initiatives are quantifiable, such as inclusion in the New York
Times Neediest Cases Campaign. Others, such as introductions to individuals
and foundations and advocacy work with governmental agencies, have allowed us to
leverage their support and are priceless.
The Claims Conference also provides significant funding for critical home care services, as well
as for emergency financial assistance for this aging population. In recent years, the Claims
Conference has successfully negotiated with the German Government to obtain new benefits
for individual survivors and for programmatic services. Their full negotiating team, led by
Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat, merits special recognition for their continued successes in this area.
Selfhelp is deeply grateful to have enjoyed the benefits of affiliation with
UJA-Federation since 1983.
On behalf of those we serve, we are ever grateful for such critical funding, which
helps provide this aging and fragile population with the care they so rightfully deserve.

Founders Society
Providing Support
Deepest thanks to our Supporters for the
Fiscal Year 2013 ( July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013)
Selfhelp’s Founders Society recognizes our generous friends and partners who have supported
us with cumulative donations of $25,000 or more.* From our earliest days, Selfhelp has been
blessed by the involvement of scores of individuals committed to our mission. We offer our deepest appreciation to our Founders ~ both present and those no longer with
us ~ who have helped to make Selfhelp Community Services the vital organization it is today.

Fran Eizenstat Legacy Project Commit tee (formerly Project Legacy Committee)
As evidenced by its name, an essential part of the mission of this project is to “pass the torch”
to the second and third generations. A brainchild of Co-Chairs Dennis Baum and Karin
Shewer Krugman, the Committee is comprised mainly of those who, because of their family
background or personal interest, share a passion to help Holocaust survivors in need.

A Special Thank You to Our Defiant Requiem Supporters
The Def iant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín, performed at Avery Fisher Hall at
Lincoln Center on April 29th, will have a life-long impact on thousands of
