Mission Statement:
Saint Therese, a Catholic organization
serving seniors of all faiths,
is dedicated to the well-being
of each individual.
Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any fellowship of the Spirit... let each of you look out not
only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others.
— Philippians 2:1- 4
Partnerships
Dear Friends,
The vision that became Saint Therese was born out of partnerships. Over 40 years ago, a local businessman, a spirited
Benedictine nun, and a gentle priest from Saint John’s pooled their resources, talents, and visions to create a truly
special place for Catholic seniors to enjoy the autumn of their lives.
Today, partnerships are even more important in helping Saint Therese’s mission and vision thrive. Partnerships help us
be innovative and more efficient. This becomes increasingly important as baby boomers age, we face rising costs and
falling reimbursements, and a good nursing staff is harder to find.
Partnerships, like those we have with numerous churches and schools, help us provide better individualized care and
continue the spiritual services that make us who we are. This is what brings families to Saint Therese and makes it
possible for them to place the well-being of their loved ones in our hands.
Our recent partnership with College of St. Catherine and Catholic Eldercare addresses the nursing shortage head-on.
St. Kate’s students will receive clinical on-site experience in our Care Center, while Saint Therese staff serve as
mentors and clinical partners. This means the College of St. Catherine will be able to teach and graduate more nursing
students each year who are specifically trained in geriatric care.
Thanks to a partnership with rural and semi-rural nursing homes, we were able to receive funding for our highly
successful BESTAge Fitness Program. Through another partnership with 24 nursing homes and senior housing
organizations, we save money through the power of group purchasing. A third partnership with large metro senior
care organizations provides an opportunity to share best practices, which improves care.
One of our most enduring and important partnerships is with you, people who have supported our work over the years.
Thank you so much. We will continue to work hard to be deserving of this partnership long into the future.
Sincerely,
Francis D. Hagen
Chair, Saint Therese Board
Barb Rode
President and Chief Executive Officer

Best Life, Best Age
As a result of a bout with cancer, 86-year-old
Katherine Fisher had to sell her home in Northern
Minnesota and move to New Hope to be near her
family. In a rather short period of time, Katherine lost
her home, her friends, and much of her independence.
When she first came to Saint Therese’s Care Center,
she was feeling pretty frightened and depressed.
“What will I do now?” she wondered. “I want to do
something with the rest of my life. I don’t want to
just be a patient.”
Fortunately, Katherine discovered the BESTAge Fitness
Program. In 2007, Saint Therese received a grant to
start an exercise program for the residents and tenants.
BEST stands for Balance, Endurance, Strength, and
Training. Katherine was one of our first clients.
At first Katherine was reluctant. The exercises were
really hard for her; she almost gave up. But everyone
was encouraging her to stick with it—her kids, her
nurse, and even her doctor, so she kept at it. “Soon,
I realized this was going to help me,” she said, “and
I fell for it like a ton of bricks. I love this!”
Now, Katherine works out almost daily. She participates
in exercise classes and spends time on the NuStep®
machine. She also encourages other residents to
participate in the program. Katherine says she enjoys

the company during the exercise classes and the
encouragement and kindness of all the instructors.
Katherine’s coach and Saint Therese staff member
Matt Koelewyn says Katherine is a great example:
“Katherine always has a great attitude. She works
hard and encourages others during the exercises.”
All that hard work has really paid off. Her muscle
strength in her arms and legs has doubled, and her
endurance has increased by 50%. She can spend 20
minutes on the NuStep® at the highest setting, which
would be a good workout for someone half her age.
Katherine says her workouts have helped her do
everything better and have improved her attitude.
“The exercise makes me want to be helpful to others and
gives me something to look forward to.”
Partners in Nursing
Saint Therese is pleased to announce an exciting new
partnership with Catholic Eldercare and the College
of St. Catherine in St. Paul aimed at addressing the
growing national shortage of long-term-care nurses.
“What I’ve heard about senior care and what I’ve seen and
experienced are totally different,” says Hayat Osman, one
of the students. “I want to work with seniors most definitely.
They’re so nice and appreciative.”
Nearly two dozen College of St. Catherine nursing
students are spending most of their academic year
away from the college campus and receiving their
Jackline Ongechi, another student, says she’s gaining
confidence and will graduate very well prepared. “I’ll be
more confident and ready to take care of patients, clients
or residents without
feeling overwhelmed or
intimidated by the
challenges,” she says.
training at the two senior care campuses. The students
are immersed in the real world, experiencing the
demands and joys of long-term care nursing by
observing experienced senior care staff.
“This partnership is wonderful,” says Saint Therese
of New Hope’s Director of Nursing, Stacy Lind, RN.
“The students are able to develop relationships with
the residents and their families and gain experience in
a challenging arena that requires strong technical
skills for the complex care needs of the patients.”
Although there is much
talk nationally about the
need for partnerships like
this, we are one of the
first to actually implement
one. Saint Therese and
Catholic Eldercare are
among the affiliates of
Catholic Senior Services,
the Archdiocesan
network established to
help develop additional
senior care resources.
As such, the providers are
on the cutting edge of innovations to enhance service
to a rapidly growing and vulnerable population.
“In this field, providers are constantly looking at ways
to enhance our delivery of care,” says Saint Therese
CEO Barb Rode. “This partnership is one example and
it’s one that will likely spread throughout our field
as the senior population continues to grow. It’s a
wonderful thing to be a part of and enhances the care
that our elders receive.”
While the program is still in its infancy, the students
are embracing senior care through this direct exposure,
which helps dispel negative stereotypes about aging.

Partners in Caring
BOB RUDIN knows just about everyone at Saint
Therese at Oxbow Lake, and they know him. Whether
it’s a tenant, maintenance staff, nursing staff or
Sister Marie, Bob knows almost everyone by name
and has something to tease them about.
For almost two years now, Bob’s wife Pat has lived
in Oxbow Lake’s memory care apartments. Although
Bob still lives in the couple’s home, he is a regular
fixture at Oxbow Lake, coming almost daily to look
after his wife of over 50 years.
At first, moving Pat to Oxbow Lake was very difficult
for Bob, but caring for her at home was just no longer
an option. “It broke my heart,” Bob said, “But now,
I know she couldn’t be in a better place. The care
and the love... we’re like family, and I really feel at
home here.”
Bob and his children, who are also very involved,
speak very highly about all of the nursing staff,
and they appreciate the level of involvement and
communication. There are formal, annual care
conferences, but staff also notify family whenever
there is a significant change in Pat’s condition or
when they just want to see how things are going.
Bob speaks weekly with Cheryl or Julie (Pat’s nurses),
and he feels like they really listen to him and care.
When a new medication left Pat very lethargic,
Cheryl was Bob’s advocate with the doctor and got
the medication changed.
For their part, the staff appreciate Bob’s friendly spirit
and willingness to help. Bob goes on outings with the
tenants and helps with occasional projects. He is always
there to give a smile or lend a helping hand.

“Everybody is attuned to the care of the
tenant, no matter what their position,”
Bob says, “Even the housekeeping staff
has a loving attitude.”
Bob agrees that partnership is a great word to describe
the relationship between Saint Therese and his family.
“Everybody is attuned to the care of the tenant, no
matter what their position.” He recalls a time when
one of the housekeeping staff noticed that Pat was
having trouble walking and wondered if she was okay.
“Even the housekeeping staff has a loving attitude,”
Bob says. “That is really something.”
“If there was a better place, I would
send Helen there,” George says. “But
there just isn’t a better place.”
George and Helen met in 1940 at a Knights of
Columbus dance. In 1941, George enlisted in the
military and went into the horse cavalry in Texas.
In 1943, George and Helen married. After attending
officer’s school, George was sent overseas, where he
served admirably for a year before getting injured and
returning home.
George and Helen lived in Golden Valley for almost
50 years. George worked as an insurance underwriter
and Helen worked for a printing company. George
says that they were blessed with a wonderful marriage:
“I can’t think of a single time that we had a squabble
and didn’t kiss and make up before going to bed.”
Several years ago, Helen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
When George could no longer care for Helen, they moved
to Saint Therese and their partnership came full circle.
Helen lives in the Palliative Care Unit of the Care
Center and George lives next door in the apartments.
He visits Helen almost every evening.
George says that it means a great deal to be so close to
Helen and he has been very happy with the care at
Saint Therese. He also says that they do a very good job
of consulting him about Helen’s care. Although George
and Helen did not have any children, they have a
niece who is very involved. She and George attend
monthly care conferences and get regular updates.
GEORGE AND HELEN SMRSTIK’S
partnership with Saint Therese began almost 40 years
ago when Helen’s friend recruited her to join the
Auxiliary. Helen became known for the Krum Kaka she
donated every year to the Auxiliary’s Boutique. George
says that he and Helen used to make 10 or 12 dozen
Krum Kakas, which were then sold for $.75 apiece.
They also attended our Associate Dinner together for
many years until Helen became too ill to attend.
George, his niece Karen, and Helen’s care team.
In addition, George and Helen have continued to
make regular gifts to the Saint Therese Foundation to
support our work. George says he now has a special
appreciation for the importance of our mission. “If
there was a better place, I would send Helen there,”
George says. “But there just isn’t a better place.”

“I love hearing the people’s stories,”
Pat says, while Jeri nods in agreement.
“It feels good if you can make one of
the ladies smile.”
Volunteers Keep Residents
Beautiful
Many people don’t realize that the Beauty Shop is
one of the busiest and most important spots in the
Care Center. It’s the social center of the building,
and many ladies eagerly come early to sit and visit
before their appointments. Our staff work hard —
washing, setting, cutting and drying an average of 33
people per day. And many of the residents cannot
get to their appointments on their own. That is where
Susie, Pat, and Jeri come in.
For the past three years, Jeri Thorne and Pat Mettille
have been volunteering in the beauty shop most
Tuesday mornings. They help with everything from
transporting residents, taking out curlers or sweeping.
Last year, Susie Simon joined the gang. Although she
has another job, Susie comes every Tuesday morning
and most of the day on Thursday to help in the
beauty shop. In addition, she comes occasionally on
Sundays to help with Jokerino.
They make quite a team and have a reputation for
being a little rambunctious. “We have a lot of fun,”
Jeri says. “We like to joke around and laugh.” Susie,
Pat and Jeri all agree that the wonderful staff are
one of the reasons they love volunteering at Saint
Therese. “They express so much gratitude to us,” Jeri
says. All three also love being around the residents.

“I love hearing the people’s stories,” Pat says, while
Jeri nods in agreement. “It feels good if you can make
one of the ladies smile.”
Each year, we partner with over 500 volunteers who
contribute 20,000 hours of assistance to Saint Therese.
They are so important to our success!
Partners in Faith
Spiritual partnership lies at the very core of everything we
do at Saint Therese. Our residents and staff come here
knowing that, whatever their faith, they will be
able to continue and be supported in that journey at
Saint Therese. There are opportunities for worship,
prayer groups, support groups, pastoral friendship and
comfort, and so much more.

school students visiting

tenants who make rosaries
for missionaries in Central
and South America.
Without several very important partnerships, this might
not be possible. Our longest partnership is one we
share with St. Paul’s Monastery and St. John’s Abbey.
From the very beginning, they embraced the dream of
a Catholic nursing home and continue to provide us
with amazing sisters and priests, who provide prayerful
guidance to our clients and families.
In just a few short years, Saint Therese at Oxbow
Lake has also developed a strong relationship with
St. Gerard’s Catholic Church. Their pastoral staff say
daily Mass and help with other important pastoral
care needs. We also partner with several Christian
churches whose pastors provide their services for our
weekly ecumenical services.
In addition to those partnerships, we have special
relationships with so many churches and religious
schools who share their time and talents with Saint
Therese and strengthen our ability to serve others.
For almost all of our 40 years, we have had a special
friendship with St. Raphael’s Church and School
in New Hope. Their pastor, Reverend Mark Juettner,
serves on our board and the students volunteer
with our residents.

Partners in Giving
The excellent care and services that make Saint
Therese so special are due, in large part, to generous
support from the community.
Saint Therese serves people of all financial backgrounds;
in fact, over 60% of our Care Center residents receive
financial assistance through the government. The
government determines the rate structure that provides
for the basics of long-term care. The Saint Therese
Foundation helps fill the gap left after government
funding drops off, raising critical charitable dollars
that provide the services, programs, and facilities that
make Saint Therese such a wonderful place to
call home. Gifts to the Foundation are used to fund
innovative programming, pastoral care, nursing
scholarships, capital improvements, and much more.
Saint Therese acknowledges the individuals, corporations,
foundations, and associations for their generous gifts.
These gifts were provided between July 1, 2007 and
June 30, 2008. Every effort is made to ensure the
accuracy of the names listed here. Please contact the
Office of Development at 763-531-5459 to correct
any errors or omissions.

In order to help ensure our success long into the future, Saint Therese
has established a named endowment fund. For a minimum gift of
$25,000 in either a current, pledged or deferred gift, a donor may
establish a permanently endowed, named fund. The fund is maintained
in perpetuity, and can be named to reflect the wishes of the donor. The
donor may also restrict the earnings of this fund to support a specific
program or purpose. Donors who establish named endowments
become members of our Pillar Society at one of these levels:

Community Benefits
For all of our 40 years, Saint Therese has taken pride
in the fact that it has always been a good neighbor and
member of the community. As a non-profit organization,
Saint Therese strives to help others within our
immediate neighborhood and beyond. We believe it
is also important to communicate our outreach and
support of the greater community as part of our mission.
Documenting this work is an essential element for
earning public trust and validating our status as a
non-profit organization. During the 2007-2008
fiscal year:
•
•
•
Saint Therese has provided over $1.2 million dollars
of free care as a result of Medicaid reimbursement
not covering the entire cost of care. Over 60% of
our residents receive Medicaid reimbursement.
We receive over $20 a day less than the actual cost
of providing the care. If we were to make cuts to
recover these expenses, we would compromise care
of our residents.
To foster education and help train future leaders in
our industry, we contribute $12,000 a year to the
University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire to sponsor a
student administrator.
Our staff participated in trade and professional
associations to expand their skills and to advocate
for social fairness. This is also a way we can share
our experiences and knowledge to benefit others.
20
•
Saint Therese has donated 75 copies of its toolkit,
SeniVision, to Twin Cities Catholic Parish Nurses
and the Faith Community Nurse Network of the
Greater Twin Cities to help them counsel their
constituencies about geriatric care.
•
Saint Therese is a host for social work students from
the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities.
•
Spiritual care is at the center of our mission. Our
extensive pastoral care services include staff, liturgical
costs, and more. Saint Therese allocates funds for
this program, which are not reimbursed by the state.
•
Our staff recruited blood donors for the Red Cross.
Staff members volunteered their time and blood for
this worthy cause.
•
Saint Therese has a charitable program that can
assist tenants with services if the tenant has to apply
for waivered services for care.
•
Tenants and staff members in our communities hold
a food drive at various times throughout the year to
help families in need in our surrounding communities.
•
Saint Therese donated to various community partners
to strengthen their work. Some of these partners
included North Memorial Medical Center, Golden
Valley Rotary, Community YMCA, Churches of
St. Vincent and St. Gerard, and North Memorial
Community Foundation.
“In my mom’s final years and days you have
given her so much of yourselves. My heart is
full of love and gratitude for all of you. I can’t
imagine a better group of people anywhere.”
— Susan, family member of a resident
