Mission Statement
Sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, the Margaret Anna Cusack Care Center’s
caring community offers the frail and infirm elderly, persons of all faiths, and the poor, a
healing ministry based on gospel values, our Catholic heritage and our commitment to
“Peace through Justice.”
Our central belief in the sacredness of life and the dignity of each person prompts us to
promote, nurture and sustain quality of care, enabling our residents to live out their days
in comfort, compassion and peace.
Vision Statement
Margaret Anna Cusack Care Center will...
• Provide a broad array of continuing care programs and services that are self-sustaining, financially viable and mission-driven
• Understand its community and strive to address their care needs by being responsive and flexible
• Provide quality care in a person-centered environment, offer the least restrictive setting to those it cares for and embrace culture change in all activities
• Value its employees and reflect the diversity of its Jersey City community in its delivery system
Welcome to our 2013 Donor Impact Report
D
ear Friends,
It is our pleasure to share with you our 2013 Donor Impact Report. In its pages we highlight
activities and events made possible through the generous support of you, our loyal donors, for
the benefit of our frail elderly residents.
Perhaps you contributed to our Healing Garden Appeal, or remembered a loved one by placing
a star on our Blessing Tree, participated in our 50/50 Raffle or joined us in celebration of our
generations at our Annual Generations Luncheon. Or, maybe you came to visit our residents,
helped with a party, held a frail hand. We want you to know that your participation, no matter
how large or small, has made such a difference in the lives of those in our care.
As you may know, several years ago we implemented a new initiative – the provision of
sub-acute, or post-acute rehabilitative care to patients who are transitioning from hospital to
home on our first floor nursing unit. We cannot be happier with the success of this service and
the personal successes of those who chose to come to us for their care.
However, we are aware that to remain current and competitive, we must expand and enhance
this service. To this end, we are planning an exciting make-over of our Therapy Department and
will purchase more ergonomic, state-of-the-art equipment.
Finally, I’d like to close this letter as I opened it: with gratitude. Thank you for sharing in
our mission of service to an oft-forgotten population and for being an integral part in our
success. We hope you will join with us as we move into the future and continue the legacy of
our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace.
• Collaborate within the corporate health care system and with other partners to further mission and business goals

a legacy of caring
2013 Donor Impact Report
ince our founding by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace in 1891, we have provided care to the blind and
elderly of all faiths first as St. Joseph’s Home for the Blind and since 2002, as the Margaret Anna Cusack Care
Center.
Margaret Anna Cusack
The Sister’s sponsorship and legacy of caring continues to this day. Guided by our Catholic values, our team
of highly trained professionals provides high quality short-term medical and rehabilitative care as well as
comprehensive long-term nursing care in a safe and nurturing environment. We are committed to providing
an array of programs and services that add to the quality of life to those in our care with love, dignity and
respect.
2013 at-a-glance
Thanks to your support we are able to provide a wide variety of activities which ensure that our Center feels like home.
Bishop Thomas A. Donato, D.D., shares a moment
with a resident following a religious service at the
Center. ‘I am always so impressed by the loving care I
see all around me here,’ he says. ‘I commend the staff
for their devotion to the residents and the kindness
they extend to me. God Bless them all.’
Our Sisters ever present in the life of the Center

and residents joined us at Casino in the Park to enjoy a late September
afternoon of good company and good food as we honored longtime

T
hanks to your support and our team of dedicated, caring professionals we are able to provide the best of care to nurture the mind, body and
spirit. Whether it be to patients coming to us from the hospital requiring post-acute, rehabilitative care before transitioning home; or frailer
residents who call Cusack home; or those with advanced dementia; or those requiring palliative care in the final days of their lives – we are here
to meet their everyday needs.
There are many families who have become a part of our Cusack family entrusting their loved ones to our care in their time of need. Your support
helps us provide some of the additional services necessary for the comfort and life-enhancing experiences that Medicare and Medicaid payments
do not allow. Extra ‘niceties’ that bring joy to daily living – parties, holiday celebrations, musical entertainment, games, Mass in our Mary Chapel
visits to our Peace or Healing Gardens – and so much more. If you could see the joy that all this brings, joy that for a moment in time brings back
memories of good times gone by. Yes, if you could see the joy you would know that you have really made a difference.
Every one of our residents has a story to tell – a story of a life well lived; a life fulfilled with family, friends, work and community.
In 2013, we admitted over 300 patients to our first floor
sub-acute care unit.
There were many happy customers who made a safe transition back to their homes and daily lives. One of
those happy customers, Juanita Detura (left), was delighted to share her story with us.
Juanita slipped and fell at her home in Bayonne that left her requiring several stitches above her left eye and
unable to walk. Before leaving the hospital she was told she needed physical therapy and would have to go
to a rehab center. She made it known that she wanted to go nowhere else but the Cusack Care Center. Her
husband, Frank, had received rehabilitative care at Cusack just a few years earlier after being temporarily
paralyzed from a stroke. “Frank”, Juanita says, “was very active and very hesitant about going into a nursing

a n d r e s p e c t .
care facility, but finally agreed on one condition – that he’d be able to walk in time for the family’s annual
vacation, which was just a few weeks away!” With patience and dedication from our caring healthcare
professionals and support of his family, Frank was able to join in the family fun.
Juanita too needed to learn to walk again and receive assistance with her day to day routines. And, after
just four weeks of extensive therapy by our physical and occupational therapists, she was on her way
home. “Thank God for the people at Cusack and for the rehab center,” she said. “Every day I made an
improvement.” According to Juanita, one of the things that makes the Center such a special place is its
spiritual community where all residents are welcome to attend services held daily in the Center’s Mary
Chapel.
Carmel Galasso also told us that it was the religious component that drew them to Cusack Care Center
when the family was looking for placement for both her aunt and later for her mother, Adeline (right).
“That and the unfailing dedication, care and concern from the staff – we soon knew that this was the
only place for mom,” Carmel said. Like many families with loved ones in our care Adeline’s family were,
she said,
“On that unknown road of caring for a loved one with
dementia. The staff at Cusack showed us the way - they
were our companions on a journey, a journey of love,
friendship and peace.”

Your I M P A C T for the Future
We hope you have enjoyed this glimpse of life here at Cusack Care Center. A life that is made all the more meaningful by the gifts
you have shared with us. Thank you.
As in the past, your continued support will go a long way in helping us fulfill our mission of providing quality, loving care to our frail
elderly residents. Now more than ever, in this ever-changing competitive health care market place it is crucial that we not only
provide care with love, dignity and respect, but provide care that is supported by the latest in technology and treatment modalities. Yes, now more than ever, we need your support. Here are but a few ways you can help:
You Can Help Enhance Our Rehabilitative Therapy Services
Although a therapy department was created for this service during the construction of our new building some ten or more years ago, it is
fast outgrowing the space provided and the equipment is already outdated. Rehabilitative therapy is a vital part of the recovery process for our patients who come to us transitioning from hospital to home. As in all segments of medical care, advances in treatment
are changing and improving constantly – more comprehensive, more extensive, all to ensure that the patient is ready to return home
able to pick up their daily activities again. To achieve these goals for our patients, it is imperative that we provide an efficient, therapeutic
space with state-of-the-art equipment.
You Can Help Our Healing Garden Grow!
Our Healing Garden is complete already being enjoyed by our residents and their families. But, our garden, like yours, still needs to be
tended and nourished so that our residents can experience the therapeutic values of this welcoming oasis that helps foster a sense of
well-being and promotes healing of the mind, body and spirit. As in all our endeavors, we count on your generosity and the support of
friends and family alike to help our garden grow. Maybe you would like to honor or memorialize a loved one with a commemorative
plaque on a bench or by a tree or a shrub or have their name engraved on a decorative stone. What better way to honor your loved one
than by adding to the beauty of the garden itself?
You Can Help Ensure the Future of Our Center by Leaving a Lasting Legacy
Help us continue our vital mission of “offering the frail and infirm elderly, persons of all faiths, and the poor, a healing ministry based on
gospel values, our Catholic heritage and our commitment to Peace through Justice”, by joining the Margaret Anna Cusack Legacy Society
– a special group of friends who support the Center through their wills and estate plans.
For more information on any of these initiatives, please visit our website cusackcarecenter.org call the Development Office at
201-653-8300 x 2161 or email us at info@cusackcarecenter.org.
