our 2014 Report to the Community
Serving More Than 8,700 People Each Year R 2014 ST. ANDREW'S REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Our Vision A society where all elders are respected, productive, secure, and fulfilled. Our Mission Empower elders and their caregivers through choices and options that foster a vital life. Our Core Philosophy We honor each person’s uniqueness and dignity and believe our mission will bring vitality throughout the life of elders. We understand our society’s elder service system is complex and remain committed to our skill of providing the most appropriate choices and options in service and support that will bring confidence and peace of mind to those we serve. We are committed to being on the “cutting edge” in innovative, holistic programs, and services that are quality driven, ethical, cost-efficient, and elder-centered.

Wilton Dear Friends and Supporters of St. Andrew’s, Katherine Graham, the famed publisher of the Washington Post, once commented, “No one can avoid aging, but aging productively is something else.” That sentiment clearly reflects our mission at St. Andrew’s. We strive every day to empower elders and their caregivers through choices and options that foster a vital life. We honor each person’s uniqueness and dignity and believe our work will bring vitality to seniors and support productive aging throughout the life of elders. In 2014, St. Andrew’s touched the lives of more than 8,700 seniors. The continuing growth of our Charitable Foundation enables us to fulfill our mission by serving St. Louis seniors in need. Over the past year, we have established a new Foundation Board that is providing valuable guidance to our efforts and assisting us in raising the funds needed to care for those who outlive their resources. The popularity of our holiday Adopt A Senior program reached new heights in 2014, as we provided gifts, gift cards, and holiday cheer to a record 670 needy seniors. Our charitable care program is growing as well. Thanks to a grant from the Lutheran Foundation and our many generous supporters, we now provide in-home care or caregiver support for 185 low-income seniors through Senior Solutions. Project Independence helped seniors remain safely in their home by providing minor home repairs for 40 seniors. Yet another generous gift from our dear friends, the Schobels, created a matching gift challenge that, together with a challenge gift from Phyllis Tirmenstein, the support of numerous donors, and our Neighborhood Assistance Program tax credits, helped us raise the funds to purchase a new bus for our low-income communities. The bus is already in service, taking residents to the store, the bank, special programs, and other essential locations. The need for St. Andrew’s many programs and services grows each year as more of us are, indeed, aging. But thanks to our friends and supporters who are listed in this report, we are able to respond to these needs and help seniors continue to age productively. As we look back at all we have accomplished in 2014, we want to tell each of you how grateful we are for all you have done. Your giving has had a tremendous impact on the lives of seniors. We hope you will continue to support the mission of St. Andrew’s in 2015! Missouri’s population 65+ is projected to grow from 838,294 to 1.4 million by 2030 - a 67% Thank You! Sincerely, increase (according to Missouri Association of Area Agencies on Aging 2013 Senior Report. Mary Alice Ryan President and CEO By 2030, there will be only four potential caregivers available for each person 80 or older, down from a high of more than Ken Kranzberg seven in 2010. (AARP, Chair, St. Andrew’s Charitable Foundation Board of Directors “The Aging of the Baby Serving More Than 8,700 People Each Year Boom and the Growing Care Gap”) 1 What is St. Andrew’s? Ageless Remarkable Saint Louisans Growing older carries a unique set of challenges, for the senior, the family, and other potential caregivers. When crises occur, most of us aren’t prepared to act. We haven’t pre-planned. We don’t know where to find the resources we need. We often don’t even know what questions to ask. “No matter what the job is, you always can find a way to contribute something.” - Ann Bannes That’s where we come in. For the past 50 years, St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors System, a notfor-profit organization, has been the place where seniors, their families, and caregivers find answers. Whether it’s occasional help that allows a senior to remain independent at home, a comfortable retirement residence that feels like home, or an assisted living or skilled care facility, St. Andrew’s can provide whatever you need. Thanks to donations to our Charitable Foundation, we are able to assist seniors at all income levels. We help them find and access the support they need and, most importantly, we help them worry less. Since 2011, the Wool Challenge has generated over $425,000 for seniors in need Ageless Remarkable Saint Louisans “We want our clients to like us better after the project is over than when they selected us in the first place.” R - Joe Shaughnessy 2 Your Gift Changes Lives What We Do: Retirement Communities: Our guests receive services and amenities that support a convenient, fulfilling and fun lifestyle.

My goal is to be the first guy to walk, run, crawl or whatever I have to do to cross a marathon finish line at age 100.” In a world where seniors are living longer and health care costs are constantly on the rise, millions of seniors have discovered that their savings just are not enough to cover even their most basic needs. As the cost of aging goes up, so too, does the need for charitable care. - Pat Britt The St. Andrew’s Charitable Foundation supports older adults who have outlived their resources. Last year, our foundation raised more than $1.1 million to help bridge the gap between what seniors and their families can afford and what seniors need to live healthy, secure, and fulfilled lives. Your support helps St. Andrew’s to meet these needs so together we can make a difference in the lives of those who have made such a difference in ours.

Ageless Remarkable Saint Louisans “The key for me has been my faith and commitment to staying active by spending the rest of my life focused on religious, humanitarian and social issues.” Serving More Than 8,700 People Each Year - Larry Lemke 7 Ageless Remarkable Saint Louisans “Always have a mind to do the work that God would have you do.” - Mattie Davis 1.1 Million Dollars raised by St. Andrew’s Charitable Foundation last year R 8 Your Gift Changes Lives Your Gift Changes Lives Meet Gussie Gussie has lived in the same St. Louis apartment for 68 years. She loves where she lives. Her church is across the street, and her brother, sister, and nephew occupy all four apartments in the building. At 81, Gussie says she is “Blessed to still be on this earth." She has had a great deal of medical problems, and has had several falls. She does not want to leave her home to go into a nursing home, not only because she is not sure how she could afford it, but because she doesn’t want to leave the home she loves so dearly. Gussie’s doctor was worried about her safety and the possibility for more falls. For a year or so, she was able to get a Medicaid-funded caregiver to come to the house a couple times a week. Between her family and her caregiver, she was able to get enough help to remain living in her home. “But then, Medicaid said she made too much money and they wouldn’t pay for the lady to come anymore,” explains Gussie. She was terrified she wouldn’t be able to stay in her home. Thankfully, the St. Andrew’s Charitable Care program was able to step in and help. Now, Ann, a Senior Solutions caregiver, comes to see Gussie twice a week for two hours. “Gussie is just wonderful. She doesn’t have any children so I’m the only baby she's got. I bring her breakfast and we laugh and talk for a little bit and then I tell her, ‘Well, I got to get up and get busy Miss Gussie’, says Ann. Ann helps Gussie with light housework, laundry, grooming, and bathing. “My Lord, it helps so much!” exclaims Gussie. Through our Charitable Foundation, we provide seniors with services that enable them to remain in their homes. We arrange for minor home repairs to correct problems that may threaten their safety. We provide transportation to help them get to the grocery store. We help those that are already in our care, continue to stay in the safe and healthy environment that they had envisioned for their golden years.

Their loving union produced 4 children, 4 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren, and many years of happiness. Beulah worked at a furniture store and Robert was a truck driver with a passion for motorcycles. Robert liked to work on the garage, he fixed things around the house, and he was known to piddle a little longer than he needed at night to make sure that his young neighbor, who walked her dog, got home safely. A few years ago, Beulah realized that Robert just wasn’t himself. He was tired and didn’t feel up to doing all the things he usually did around the house. “He kept asking, Beulah, we are ok with money, right? …I’d always tell him ‘Yes, we are fine,' Beulah remembers. She pauses and wipes her tears away. “I found out later, he had been diagnosed with Leukemia.” Robert died two years ago. The loss of her life-long partner and friend was devastating. Her grief coupled with losing ¾ of their income, and having her own health issues that led to three hospital stays since Robert’s death has been very challenging. For the first time in her life, Beulah has found that she needs to ask for help. With a drastically reduced income, funeral bills, a mortgage, and hospital bills - Beulah is struggling. When her house needed repairs, she wasn’t sure how she could afford to fix them. Her front railing was broken and unsafe. One of the windows to her basement was broken and the frame was rotting out. She was worried she might have to leave the home she loves. A home filled with loving memories of Robert and their life together. Thanks to your donations, St. Andrew’s was able to help. With a minor home repair grant through Project Independence, our handyman, John, was able to fix her front railing that was rusting out and replace a broken window. “I can’t thank you enough. John came on one of the coldest days in January. He was so kind and I can’t tell you what a relief it is to have two less things to worry about,” explains Beulah. So many seniors, by no fault of their own, find themselves in need of a little help. Beulah is just one of the seniors who is able to live safely in their home thanks to your generosity. Thank you.

She never had children of her own but she taught many children. She was an elementary school teacher for many years in St. Louis. She inspired the minds and hearts of hundreds of children. Today, she is 93. She has lived in one of our skilled care communities for more than 7 years. Some days her memory is better than others. She will tell you about the children she taught, the plays and dances she helped put on to raise funds for the war effort, and other incredible stories about growing up and growing old in St. Louis. Helen is very active. She takes part in crafts and other activities. She never expected to live until she was 93. She has outlived her resources but, thanks to your donations, she will be able to live out the duration of her brilliant life in the place she now calls home. Helen is just one of our financial aid recipients. Through our Financial Assistance Program, St. Andrew’s Charitable Foundation helps alleviate some of the financial burden of some residents by paying a portion of their monthly bill. Thanks to the donations of our generous supporters, we are able to prevent the displacement of wonderful people like Helen who will continue to live life to the fullest without worrying about having to leave her home.

Letter from Terry Coleman: Dear Friends, Fun and Fit R 14 On Tuesday, September 9th, a team of volunteers from HealthLink treated St. Andrew’s residents to a day of fun and fitness! Held in Tower Grove Park, the event was filled with games to stimulate both the mental and physical, free health screenings, lunch, and prizes for all. The seniors had a wonderful time getting out and active! Your Gift Changes Lives This past year was another fulfilling and inspiring year for the Friends of St. Andrew’s. Not only did we host an amazing event, our 3rd Annual Derby Brunch on May 4th, but we also served over 600 seniors with our Adopt A Senior program! We would like to thank all of our donors and volunteers that helped make this possible. We are so thankful to have all of the wonderful volunteers and friends that help impact our seniors' lives in a positive, important way. We are always interested in finding new people to join us in supporting the health and well-being of seniors in need. Warmest Regards, Terry Coleman Terry Coleman Chairman, Friends Board Friends Board 2014 Friends Programs: Chair Terry Coleman Transportation: To help assure low-income seniors will have the ability to get to and from the pharmacists, grocery stores, doctor appointments, and more; the Friends Group funds a bus that provides more than just transportation to residents – it opens the door for increased social activity, grants greater physical mobility, provides a sense of dignity, and fosters independence.

W. Clarence Koon, Jr. Margaret Rambo Darlene Roland Jeanie Stewart Peggy Symes Phyllis Tirmenstein Carol Marie Will Sharon Wilson Adopt A Senior: Thanks to the generosity of many individuals and companies, our Adopt A Senior program was more successful than ever. This year, a record 670 low-income seniors had an extra special Holiday Season! Seniors living in our low-income communities each received a Walgreens gift card, while over 60 seniors, who we serve in their homes, received generous presents such as clothing, cookware, fruit, gift cards, mattresses, refrigerators, computers, furniture, TV’s, and even a stove! The feedback from the seniors was one of appreciation and thankfulness! Quality of Life Programs: Friends further strives to enhance the lives of seniors through quality of life programs. Whether it is through music, gardening, or love of animals, the Friends work to bring joy to our lowincome residents. All of the seniors in the Adopt A Senior program have fixed incomes that are near or well below the poverty level. It is extremely difficult to afford essentials, like food, medicine, and basic household cleaning products, so the idea of buying new clothes or a bed is just impossible. James and Ava: When Ava was asked what she could use for Christmas, we practically had to pull her teeth before she said, "Well I could use a few spoons and warmer coat." After speaking with her caregiver, we found that the soles of her tennis shoes were almost completely worn through and that she was in desperate need of socks, bath towels and a new recliner in the living room as her current recliner had broken and the exposed springs in the chair were dangerous. Ava couldn’t believe there were people out there that would help her, but she agreed to be “adopted." A few weeks before Christmas, she called our office to ask if she might be able to change her list. “I was wondering if you might consider taking that coat off my list and putting on some new boots for my husband,” she wondered. Her husband was even older than her, with escalating health problems and was in just as much need. We told her we would take care of it. On Christmas, her caregiver arrived with everything on her list including her coat and new boots and a jacket for her husband. Serving More Than 8,700 People Each Year 15 Derby Brunch St. Andrew’s Derby Brunch The 3rd Annual Derby Brunch, hosted by the Friends of St. Andrew’s, was a spectacular event that raised funds for seniors in need and dazzled our taste buds and gave us an excuse to wear gorgeous hats! Derby Chairs, Lana Shepek and Jessica Denham, led a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers to ensure that this event was one to remember. Our guests enjoyed delicious food and drinks from several local restaurants and caterers, such as Home Wine Kitchen, Strange Donuts, Companion Bakery, and Marcoot Jersey Creamery. We were all in awe of the grandeur of the Magic Chef Mansion while we enjoyed live music and pictures with a live race horse! The event is quickly becoming a St. Andrew’s staple, and we hope you will join us next time, as we are always adding new and exciting things to this party.

In only three short years this event has become a signature fundraising event for St. Andrew’s, and we couldn’t be more thrilled by the support that this event receives. Every year, we seem to land on a scorcher of a day, but even then, no one complains - the day is consistently filled with a good game, lots of laughter, and plenty of water. We were so excited that once again, due to the hard work of our committee, both flights were full and our silent auction sold out! Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed golf, lunch, and the auction, we were able to raise $60,000 for the Charitable Assistance Program at Brooking Park. The committee, led by Donna Murray, worked hard to make this event a success, and we are all looking forward to the next outing on Monday, August 3rd, 2015.

This event was designed to raise funds for the Charitable Assistance Program at Tower Grove Manor, and we are so happy to announce that, with the help of HealthLink and the residents of Tower Grove Manor, we were able to make this event a true success! Many of the residents came downstairs on the evening of July 18th to play Black Jack, Poker, and Roulette, or just to enjoy our lounge singer and the great food. Tower Grove Manor’s very own Charlie Odorizzi (our James Bond) went to “jail” until the residents generously raised $500 to bail him out! All who came had a fantastic time, and everyone walked away with a healthrelated prize, supplied by HealthLink. We plan to repeat this fun evening on July 17th, 2015. Special thank you to Susan French for her help planning this event! Trivia Night: The very first St. Andrew’s of Bridgeton Trivia Night was held on Friday, March 28th. The event was loads of fun - trivia, prizes, drinks, and auction items made for the perfect evening! This event will be repeated for many years to come, including on April 10th, 2015. Serving More Than 8,700 People Each Year 17 Ageless Goes Beyond a State of Mind for St. Andrew’s It is our award winning program honoring seniors over the age of 75 who are living active and vital lives. Our honorees exemplify St. Andrew’s vision of a society where all older adults are respected, productive, secure, and fulfilled. Ageless-Remarkable Saint Louisans Gala The Ageless-Remarkable Saint Louisans Gala is our signature event, honoring 20 individuals and/or couples each year who are celebrating life and redefining aging. It’s a festive and elegant evening; the honorees are inspiring; and the funds raised help St. Andrew’s provide over $1.1 million in charitable care to St. Louis’ seniors. The 12th annual Ageless-Remarkable Saint Louisans Gala took place on Sunday, November 9, 2014, at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis At the Arch. The event recognized another amazing group of active and engaged seniors in the St. Louis Community. This year’s honorees are featured in vignettes throughout this report. From traveling the world and embarking on new careers, to offering their time and talents to their favorite charitable organizations, and lending a hand in their communities, this year’s class of Ageless Remarkable St. Louisans continues to reshape the face of aging in our region and provide fresh perspectives on what it means to grow older.

Serving More Than 8,700 People Each Year 19 Ageless Society Over 270 honorees have been selected since we began the Ageless program in 2003. After a year as an Honoree, those individuals are welcomed into the Ageless Society. We look to this “alumni” group to sustain the Spirit of Ageless going forward. Led by Harris Frank, members of the Ageless Society serve as members of many of St. Andrew’s volunteer committees. Ageless Society members often nominate candidates for future consideration, and they contribute financially to support the Ageless program and St. Andrew’s mission. Ageless Voices: In 2011, 33.6% of St. Louis Seniors reported that they do not exercise. 66% reported having high blood pressure and 56% reported having high cholesterol (2013 Missouri Senior Report) We are thrilled to report that Emerson has, once again, generously offered to be the Lead Sponsor of Ageless Voices. The Ageless Voices Lecture Series was created to engage St. Louis seniors and the St. Louis community in continued learning while promoting St. Andrew’s mission and vision of a society where all elders are respected, productive, secure, and fulfilled. Last year, Ageless Voices served as a forum for all seniors to continue to live active lives and be involved in our community through partnerships with various local organizations. The 2014 Ageless Voices Presentations hosted more than 250 St. Louis seniors and included Express Scripts, the Mercantile Library, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and a day trip to the Lincoln Museum. The program’s goal is that, through continued educational experiences, we will inspire the St. Louis senior population, while also sharing with them the plight of many St. Louis seniors who have outlived their resources. The 2015 Ageless Voices Series kicked off this spring and details will be forthcoming. Please contact Sarah at 314-726-0111, Ext. 126, or scontarini@standrews1.com for more details.
