CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE Maimonides leads the way in geriatric care Thank you to the entire Maimonides community for helping us achieve outstanding results in the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA) accreditation survey. In November 2006, a team of surveyors from the CCHSA met with Maimonides Quality Improvement Teams, focus groups, family members, residents, volunteers and staff in order to assess the standards of quality at the Centre. Garnering high praise for the quality of care given to its residents, Maimonides Geriatric Centre subsequently received a glowing accreditation report and is fully accredited for another three years. Listed at right are some of the highlights that were acknowledged by the CCHSA Accreditation surveyors. ACCREDITATION REPORT TEAM HIGHLIGHTS Leadership & Partnership A well conceived Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) and Risk Management Process is in place. Resident Care Team The pharmacy has a drug interaction database that automatically analyses the resident medication profile. Day Hospital Best practice guidelines have been adopted in several areas including pain management and fall prevention. Community Services Best practices have been adopted with regard to infection control, oral health, abuse prevention, restraints and fall prevention. Human Resources Team Relevant ongoing education and training is made available to all staff and supported by the Foundation. Information Team An integrated resident database is linked to other databases including nutrition and rehab that provides up-to-date comprehensive data on residents. Environment Team Major renovations are underway in all resident areas. A more complete brochure is available next to the elevators on the main floor of the Centre. Maimonides recognized nationally Maimonides Geriatric Centre recently won the Quality of Life Award acknowledging the interdisciplinary team working on the Life Biography Project. The award is sponsored by Smith and Nephew and given out by the Canadian College of Health Services Executives (CCHSE), a national, non-profit, professional association dedicated to recognizing excellence in health leadership. The Quality of Life Award honours those whose passion, creativity and dedication goes beyond their job to make a difference in the residents’ quality of life.

There is some cross-representation on the two Boards of Directors, several committees and the senior management team at Maimonides is now managing Eldercare. I Maimonides received a glowing accreditation report from the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA) and is fully accredited for another three years. The CCHSA cited Maimonides restraint-free policy as a leading practice for the entire country. I At the Annual General Meeting, Murray Goodz, chairman of the Building and Maintenance Committee, was awarded the Outstanding Service Award. I A new strategic plan was adopted by the Board of Directors and reflects the direction that Maimonides is committed to moving towards in the next 5 years. I Maimonides won the 3M Health Care Quality Team Award, one of the most prestigious health care awards in Canada, for its Fall Prevention Program. Users Committee member Thérèse Ohana visits with her mom, 4 th floor resident Solange Ohana. I Maimonides was chosen by the Canadian Association of Wound Care as one of five pilot sites in Canada for the pressure ulcer awareness program. I The Suite Dreams Capital Renovation Campaign is in full swing, two full years ahead of schedule. I The research activities for the year included the completion of six studies with three still ongoing; twenty-six presentations in Quebec, Canada and internationally by our medical, nursing, professional, and research teams and several publications in different medical and scientific journals. I Lucie Tremblay, Director of Nursing and Clinical Services was recognized with the Professional of the Year award from the Association of Jewish Aging Services (AJAS) of North America. I Maimonides Geriatric Centre ended the year 2006-2007 with a balanced budget. Maimonides nurse Julietta Pribadi enjoys a moment with 5th floor resident Riva Lendman. 17 DONOR NEWS The power to care BURSARIES OFFERED TO STAFF AT MAIMONIDES GERIATRIC CENTRE During National Nurses Week, the Maimonides Foundation gave out $30,000 in bursaries to Maimonides staff who wish to further their education and upgrade their skills by registering for more advanced studies or to take part in the Canadian Nurses Certification Program. This year, thanks to a generous gift from the Shapiro family, even more staff had the opportunity to further their education. Eighteen members of the Maimonides team are recipients along with a student from McGill University interested in pursuing a career in Geriatric Nursing. This is the fifth year that bursaries have been presented. They have proven to be a way to increase staff morale and successfully retain nursing staff. “Maimonides is proud to have competent, dedicated staff who keep their knowledge on the cutting edge. Thanks to these amazing people, we are able to provide exceptional care to Pictured are Gerry Shapiro, Foundation President Allen Quallenberg, Peggy Shapiro, the frail elderly population of Montreal,” says Lucie Tremblay, Director of Nursing bursary recipients Genevieve Angers, Vicky Lyroudias and Georgia Graphos, Maimonides Director of Nursing Lucie Tremblay and Larry Nachshen. and Clinical Services. Bialik students give to Maimonides Grade six students from JPPS-Bialik donated $920.00 to the Maimonides Geriatric Centre Foundation. The money was raised during the Morning Of Silence – Action Is Key (M.O.S.A.I.K.), for which the entire grade remained silent for a morning in solidarity with those who do not have a voice. The project is designed to help students realize that a single voice – theirs – can make a difference. Pictured are teacher Sheila Perry – teacher; Kelly Epstein – Gr. 6, Karen Flam – Maimonides Foundation Director, Emily Shtull – Gr. 6, Jennifer Nyman – teacher. ART FOR HEALING FOUNDATION Maimonides continues its growing partnership with the Art for Healing Foundation. Art galleries are being hung throughout the Centre thanks in large part to generous donations by several local artists and collectors. The latest “Art for Healing” gallery has been completed on the fourth floor. The Evelyn Gold Gallery, entitled, “I've Walked Down That Street Before”, is a collection of works beautifully painted and generously donated by artist Evelyn Gold. These paintings depict places where Evelyn and her family have lived over the years. This collection also includes a number of familiar Montreal landmarks that hold a special place in her heart. The use of soft pastels has provided yet another truly soothing and “healing” art gallery for everyone at Maimonides. If you have art to donate or would like more information about the Art for Pictured are Evelyn and Phil Gold in front of one of her favorite paintings depicting Warshaw’s, a Montreal landmark. 18 Healing Foundation, please call Earl Pinchuk or Gary Blair at (514) 846-3811 or visit www.artforhealingfoundation.org YOU ARE THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS Collaborating together for Suite Dreams Gail and David Auerbach created an endowment fund at Maimonides on the first anniversary of the passing of Gail’s father, Harold Ulrich. “My mom is now a resident at Maimonides and we are thrilled with the care she is getting. This is a good opportunity to honour my father’s memory and at the same time show our appreciation for what is being done for my mother,” says Gail. The Auerbachs asked their friends and family for contributions to the endowment fund in Harold’s memory and the response was overwhelming. Over $10,000 was raised toward the Suite Dreams Capital Renovation Campaign which will enable Maimonides to name a chart room in Harold’s memory. “By pooling our resources, we were able to take the generous contributions of numerous individuals and accumulate enough money for a dedicated chart room. It’s important to know that this is not only for individuals contributing $7,200, but available to people willing to put a group of donors together to support Maimonides.” says David. To learn more about how you can make a difference, visit our website. The Foundation Board of Directors recently held a retreat at the Forest and Stream Club to take the Suite Dreams Capital Renovation Campaign to the next level. Guest speaker Ingrid Perry Peacock, President and CEO of the North York General Hospital Foundation in Toronto spoke to board members about “The Art of the Ask”. The Suite Dreams Capital Renovation campaign is moving two and a half times faster than anticipated!!! Maimonides is committed to doing the construction right now, in the midst of its fundraising. This is a challenge the highly-motivated campaign team has embraced willingly. “Our residents are here for an average of two years. It is critical that we complete the Suite Dreams transformation as quickly as possible in order to benefit the residents who are here now,” says Michael Corber who co-chairs the campaign along with Alan Schwartz. The transformation of all the floors in this entirely donorfunded project will be completed in 2009. HONOUR SOMEONE YOU LOVE Support the Maimonides Suite Dreams Capital Renovation Campaign to renovate Maimonides’ most important area – the living space of our residents. It costs $7,200 to sponsor a room. There are 255 private and 66 semi-private rooms that need to be sponsored. Consider sponsoring the room where your family member lived or now calls home. It is such a meaningful way to honor them. Recognition plaques outside each room will gratefully acknowledge your donation.

When they come to us, they come for life – this is now their home. 2. They bring their own personalities, life histories, and family relationships. 3. They come here because they need professional support, and they’ll need more as time goes on. 4. They also have a full range of physical, social, cultural, emotional and spiritual needs. 22 5. Their families are still part of their lives and stay involved in caring for them, although they are often in a new kind of relationship. 6. Our staff has the responsibility of dealing not just with “patients”, but with whole human beings, and that includes their family. long-term care. Over the next five years, we will build on our strengths and move toward a stronger vision to become the resource of choice for the Jewish elderly of Montreal and a model of excellence for long-term care everywhere. Focused on the “MORE THAN CARE” theme, we will be a leader in providing excellent long-term care and a model for others to follow. We will strengthen our role in the community and the health care network, and stay on top of emerging trends. We are committed to finding the people and the money required to flourish and grow in this direction. Everyone will be involved: management, professionals, staff, volunteers, Corporation, Centre, Foundation and Auxiliary. more than care MAIN FOCUS These are the main areas we’ll be focusing on at Maimonides from 2007-2012: 1. Care to residents that is respectful, supportive, and personalized. 4. Teaching that supports staff, families and the community. 2. Partnerships with families that encourage and support their involvement in care. 5. Public relations and communications that strengthen our position with clear, coordinated and consistent messages. 3. Research that uncovers, promotes and shares new knowledge about long-term care. 6. Environments that are secure, homelike, and welcoming for residents and supportive of the work of the staff. 7. Government and network relationships that build on a spirit of collaboration an leadership. 8. Resources and support services that sustain our actions, and our new vision of long-term care. OUR MISSION The core mission of Maimonides Geriatric Centre, a McGill-affiliated long-term care facility, is to provide service to aging members of the community who are no longer able to function independently. They are entrusted to our care by their families, with whom we are allied in values and purpose. Our mandate is founded on a strong heritage of Jewish values and community support. We provide a continuum of high-quality care through our integrated network, which includes the Helen and Sam Steinberg Day Hospital, short-term respite care, community-based homes and a variety of long-term care accommodations. In line with our mission, the Centre serves as a training ground for professionals and conducts research into issues related to geriatric medicine and care of the elderly.

A dynamic group of foodies led by co-chairs, Robert Kertesz and Denise Zunenshine have embarked upon this exciting project to support the Maimonides Suite Dreams Capital Renovation Campaign. This food adventure travelogue of “memorable food from memorable moments” will blend recipes, heartwarming stories and cultural histories. “As co-chair of Women’s Division-United Israel Appeal Canada, I am especially proud of our Community's work in providing support to all those in need. Maimonides certainly stands out as one of those institutions. Given my love of cooking as evidenced by my vast collection of cookbooks (all 4,400 of them), and my devotion to charitable causes, it was only natural to accept to serve as an advisor on the Maimonides Cookbook Committee, and 24 I look forward to working with them,” says Sue Carol Isaacson. We are currently collecting recipes with memorable anecdotes for food that is sophisticated, modern and is as easy and enjoyable to prepare as it is to eat. We invite the community to send in your recipes All recipes must be kosher style or kosher style adaptable and will be tested before being selected for the book. Fill out the recipe form on the next page or visit www.maimonides.net. Cookbook sponsorships are now available. For more information, please contact Ann Nagley, (514) 483-2121, ext. 2260, or ann.nagley@ssss.gouv.qc.ca. The cookbook is scheduled to be released in 2010, to correspond with the 100th anniversary of Maimonides Geriatric Centre. NEW PROJECTS New elevators going up Construction of two new elevators has begun on the exterior of the building facing the garden. New atriums will replace the balconies and lead to the elevators. Long waits at the current elevators have been an ongoing concern for residents at Maimonides who are dependent on them to get anywhere in the building. The addition of the new elevators will greatly enhance the quality of life for Maimonides residents. Artist Haim Sherrf and his apprentice Chaim Teitelbaum donated their time to paint beautiful murals on the gyproc walls leading to the elevator construction which should be complete next year.
