“We Have Been Here Before”
By Rabbi Devorah Jacobson
On March 31, 2015, the Jewish Geriatric Services Board of Directors considered
and approved the new corporate name JGS Lifecare. The following is the D'var Torah Rabbi
Devorah Jacobson offered in advance of the historic vote:
We meet again to consider a new name for this organization. We have been here before.
Jewish tradition has much to say about names, including this one passage from the Talmud:
There are 3 crowns:
The crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood and the crown of royalty;
But the crown of a good name exceeds them all.
A good name is to be treasured above precious oil.
A good name can live on forever. It can be passed along to the next generation
as a precious inheritance.
We can only hope this new name we ratify tonight will truly be a good name, that it will be uniquely ours,
that it will be a highly respected name in elder care, a precious name for families and their loved ones, and
a lasting name, that is passed along to the next generations. And we pray: That the new name inspires us
to embrace fully the same sacred mission that has guided us for over a century: to honor the elders of this
community and to serve them and care for them with dignity, with kindness, and with love.

represents the largest contribution
in our 103-year history and half

The Sosin Center for
Rehabilitation is planned to
open in the summer of 2016.
The Sosin Center for Rehabilitation is named after
George Sosin, a Jewish war veteran, JGS volunteer, family
member, former resident and supporter. Susan B. Kline,
Co-Chair, Project Transformation Campaign, says he was a quiet,
humble man who lived a modest life. He got involved with JGS
when his sisters became residents of the nursing home. Sosin
visited daily, enjoying the community spirit of the home. He
made gifts throughout his life in support of maintaining the
Jewish values JGS was founded on, including the establishment
of the George Sosin Fund for the support of Jewish Religious
Services. He quietly helped others until his passing in 2013.
Susan Kimball Halpern, Vice President of Philanthropy, JGS
said, “George Sosin did things because he felt it was the right
thing to do. He supported JGS because it gave him pride to be
part of such a meaningful organization. He believed in Project
Transformation and Small House because he understood we would
create a place people would feel comfortable calling ‘home,’ and
he made his amazing gift in support of that vision. While he never
sought recognition for his support, we feel naming the center in his
honor is a wonderful testament to his unmatched commitment,
and elevates the status of the facility by demonstrating the
importance and impact of one individual’s devoted philanthropic
support of quality, person-centered care.”

SETTING THE COURSE FOR A
NEW WORLD OF CARE
An interview with Anne
Thomas, JGS Vice President
of Residential Health and Lori
Young, Director of Nursing,
Q: What attracted you to Jewish
Geriatric Services?
Anne: The organization’s
innovation, mission, strong Board
and CEO support, and recognition
of the need to change with an
ever-evolving health care environment,
and the high expectations of
educated consumers.
Lori: Long history of superior care
and wonderful reputation.
Q: In your new roles, what is your initial focus?
Anne: Building the leadership team;
establishing relationships with staff,
residents and family.
Lori: Staff stability; advancing the
quality of care and competencies
of staff.
Q: What is JNH doing to meet the changing health care needs of the
people we serve?
Anne/Lori: We’re building our
short-term Rehab program in the
Small House model of care, which will
enhance person-centered care
14
here, and we’re working to meet and
exceed customer expectations through
our Family Advisory Council, monthly
family meetings, and Enhanced
Life Enrichment and Dementia
Programming. We’re also recruiting
and retaining staff who are invested
in our mission of compassionate and
exceptional care for all.
Decision making is made closer to the
resident/patient.
Q: What are the main objectives of
the Small House model of care, and
how will we bring Small House to
our home?
Anne: More rewarding work. Staff will
also have the opportunity for growth
and development.
Anne: Small House is all about
de-institutionalizing care for a
more homelike experience.
Lori: Getting the right caregivers
on board is definitely a key to our
success. There’s a high level of
employee engagement and
empowerment which directly
affects caregiving.
Q: From a resident/family
perspective, what are the biggest
benefits of Small House?
Anne: More individualized care.
Approach to the “whole person,” not
just their medical needs.
Lori: The smaller, more
intimate setting. There will be more
opportunity to develop deeper
staff/patient/resident relationships.
Q: From the caregiver’s perspective?
Lori: It will be easier for employees
to develop meaningful connections
to residents.
Q: What advice can you give
families and their loved ones about
healthy aging?
Anne: Stay active (body and mind).
Stay connected to loved ones.
Lori: Do what makes you happy.
If not elder care, what other profession would you have been
happy in?
My childhood dream was to be a professional athlete or ballet
dancer. I also toyed with being a marine biologist or psychiatrist
and I’ve always wanted to open my own yoga studio/flower shop,
get to
know
Anne
Thomas
and name it Floyo! But honestly, I have worked with elders since I
was 16 years old, so I guess that says something!
Person you admire most:
My parents were true mentors and my maternal grandparents
were always inspirations to me. I have also admired, from a young
age, strong adventurous women like Babe Didrikson, Helen Keller
and Amelia Earhart. They succeeded long before women’s lib!
What one thing would people be surprised to learn about you?
That I was a rebel when I was young…I caused my parents many
sleepless nights!
Hobbies:
I enjoy the outdoors and anything involving physical activity,
which helps me unwind. On the flip side, I also like to reward
myself with lounge chair and a good book. I love all types of
music, travel, dancing and being with friends and family.
With one extra hour in the day you would:
Spend more time connecting with people in the JGS community
and of course more time with my husband Scott and his family.
Most of my family is spread out and I miss them, so staying
Anne Thomas, JGS Vice
President of Residential
Health and Administrator,
connected is really important to me.
Most used app on your phone or tablet:
Rhapsody music and instant messaging with my 21 year old
daughter who does not like to answer her phone. I would also
literally be lost without Google Maps.
Favorite places in the world:
Andalusia region of Spain; Italy; Manchebo Beach in Aruba,
and my new home in Hampden.
My biggest goal this year:
To significantly improve our residents’ experience with JGS.

The tradition of giving a Boston Post Cane to the oldest
resident in towns throughout New England was started in 1909
by Edwin Grozier, publisher of the Boston Post newspaper.
He forwarded to the Board of Selectmen in 700 towns in New
England a gold-headed ebony cane with the request that it be
presented with the compliments of the Boston Post to the
oldest male citizen of the town, to be used by him as long as
he lives (or moves from the town), and at his death handed
down to the next oldest citizen of the town. The cane would
belong to the town and not the man who received it. In 1930,
that was expanded to include a community’s
oldest female resident.
The canes were all made by J.F. Fradley and Co., a New York
manufacturer, from ebony shipped in seven-foot lengths from
the Congo in Africa. They had a 14-carat gold head two inches
long, decorated by hand, and a ferruled tip. The head was
engraved with the inscription, — Presented by the Boston Post
to the oldest citizen of (name of town) — “To Be Transmitted.”
The Board of Selectmen was to be the trustee of the cane and
keep it always in the hands of the oldest citizen.
Various towns in New England, including Longmeadow, carry
on the tradition, many with original canes, while others have
had to replicate them, because they were lost, stolen or
damaged. For many years Longmeadow’s cane was missing,
and then was thankfully returned. It is now Longmeadow’s
tradition to present the cane at ceremonies, and then return it
to the display cabinet located at the Longmeadow Adult
Center where a plaque lists the current and past holders of this
honorable award. The last presentation of Longmeadow’s
Golden Cane Award was in 2013.

35th Annual Golf Classic
2nd Annual Frankel-Kinsler
Nearly 200 tennis players, bridge, mah jongg,
and canasta competitors enjoyed a beautiful
day of friendship and fun supporting the 2015
Frankel-Kinsler Classic held June 22 at Twin Hills
Country Club in Longmeadow. In addition, 250
people attended the celebration dinner where
trophies were awarded, the winners of the top
raffle prizes were announced, and fundraising
for Michael’s Café was announced.
The tournament is dedicated to the memory of Michael
J. Frankel, a former JGS Board Chair who passed away
in November 2013, and to the Raymond and Herman
Kinsler families, recognizing their longstanding leadership
and support. Proceeds will be used to purchase a new van
for our transportation program and will also fund JGS
employee scholarships, helping our staff advance their
skills and careers.
Michael Frankel’s wife Donna thanked everyone for their
ongoing support and friendship. She mentioned how she
looks for signs that Michael is with her, and looking into
the audience said seeing everyone there was her sign.
“Michael left me in the hands of this wonderful community
that has continued to show its support for me and my
girls,” said Frankel. “I can't tell you how much it means
to me to see so many people who came here to either
Special Announcement
Steve Krevalin, Co-Chair, Project Transformation
Campaign and Jeff Grodsky, a cousin of Michael
Frankel’s, announced a new key component of the
campaign. Funds are being raised to dedicate the
planned café in Michael’s honor. Michael’s Café will
connect the new Sosin Center for Rehabilitation to
our existing Leavitt Family Jewish Home.
Michael’s Café will be a fitting tribute to Frankel,
who was an outspoken advocate for new JGS
projects, as it connects our old services to our new,
and reflects his passions for good food and the
camaraderie of good friends, meeting and sharing
good times together. Michael’s Café will be a warm
and special space with beautiful garden views for
both the JGS and external community to gather and
enjoy high quality kosher meals, featuring deli fare.

Thank You!
Thanks to all volunteers, sponsors, participants, and
community supporters for making the Frankel-Kinsler
Classic a tremendous success.
A central feature of Project Transformation is fundraising for the
dedication of Michael’s Café, offering a central gathering spot for
both the JGS and general community to meet and enjoy breakfast,
coffee, lunch or dinner, as well as grab-and-go service in a bright
and cheerful atmosphere.

Everybody looks forward to TGIF Fridays, and
here at JGS, there were four very special reasons
our residents and staff said “thank goodness
Friday’s here!” Longmeadow High School
students Brandon Goldberg, Emily Tyler, Josh
Novis, and Paige Phillips spent the school year
volunteering an hour once-a-week in the JGS Life
Skills program, bringing a little extra joy and
smiles to all of us here. “We loved having the
kids here every Friday,” said Kim Grandfield,
JGS Development Coordinator. “They brightened
our day with their energy and enthusiasm!”
The Life Skills Program is designed to combine regular
classroom curriculum with job training and real-life
Longmeadow
High Students
Complete Life
Skills Program
at JGS
experiences that relate to the mission of Longmeadow
High School’s Vocational training and practice program.
The program is run by Kate Mard, assisted by Jodi McKenna
and Karen Sprinthall. “This is a great partnership,” said
Mard. “The students learn from the staff, but also from the
residents, and their families. They’re helping their community
and learning skills they can use at home and beyond.”
Each week, they did something different, from bowling
to helping at tea time or learning how to set a table and
make a bed. The students said their favorite activity
was planting flowers last spring and fall.
Brandon, Emily and Paige have been Life Skills volunteers
Thank goodness
Friday's here!
since the 6th grade, when they attended Glenbrook Middle
School. In June, Emily and Paige graduated from Longmeadow
High School, with Emily attending Riverview College on
Cape Cod this September. Paige is paying her Life Skills
experience forward, staying in Longmeadow and becoming
a teaching assistant in the Life Skills Program! Brandon and
Josh will return to JGS Life Skills next fall. Congratulations
to all for jobs well done! We thank you for your hard work
and celebrate your success!
