J. Leonard Levy Family
Wellness Center Naming Ceremony
The community is invited to the naming ceremony of the
J. Leonard Levy Family Wellness Center, recognizing an
extraordinary grant of $2 million from the J. Leonard and
Myra B. Levy Fund, a donor advised fund of Rose Community
Foundation.
Please join us as we express our
gratitude to the Levy family
Wednesday, October 31 ~ 4:00 pm
at the Wellness Center
14800 E. Belleview Dr., Aurora
Located on the Shalom Park campus, the Wellness Center
offers therapeutic rehabilitation, recreation, and relaxation
services tailored specifically for seniors. Open to the
community, the facility houses a warm water therapy and
exercise pool, rehabilitation and therapy gym, fitness and
aerobic exercise gym, a public bistro, and a full-service salon.
For additional information about the Wellness Center, please
visit www.shalomcares.org.
Sweet Success!
When we opened the J. Leonard Levy Family Wellness Center in June, we set our
expectations high, knowing this one-of-a-kind facility had the means to improve, heal,
and even transform lives for seniors in our community. What we set out to accomplish
is well underway. The successes are many, so we’ll narrow them to a few:
• 31 fitness and aqua classes are taught each week
• Memberships total 135 – most from the outside community
• Attendance for June–Sept classes total 1,289
• Silver Sneakers classes are up and running
• Seven Program Partners utilize the facility to teach classes
• YMCA is our newest partner, offering children’s swim lessons
• Our water walking team has walked a combined total of 35 miles
• A $2 million naming gift was contributed by the J. Leonard Levy Family!

From the Desk of
Karen Gates, Director of Admissions
It’s hard to believe that 20 years ago – two months after the
residents from the Beth Israel Home for the Aged were transported
to the new Shalom Park Nursing Home – I started working for
what is now the finest not-for-profit senior community in this
region.
I never dreamed that accepting a job as a social worker would
evolve into a daily opportunity to invite seniors into our caring
family. Today, my role as admissions director for Shalom Park
allows me to share my pride in our community and in the staff
who are committed to providing extraordinary care to all those
we serve.
I’m proud of Shalom Cares – that we help others because we
genuinely care – that our mission stands true after all these years
of growth – that Honoring Our Mothers and Our Fathers is not only
engraved on the glass wall in the lobby, but ingrained in our hearts,
guiding our words and actions.
Being part of the Shalom Cares family is a joy and an honor.
Karen Gates
Director, Admissions
Shalom Cares Selected as Tour Site
During National Conference
In addition, two staff members have been
asked to speak at the conference. Stacey
Deitz, Director of Nursing, will speak about
“The Complexities of Staff Stability” at
an education session, and Marilyn Bogan,
Director of Donor Services, will present at a
pre-conference seminar, “Fundraising in a
Difficult Philanthropic Environment.”
LeadingAge, a national association of
not-for-profit organizations dedicated to
making America a better place to grow
older, is having their annual conference in
Denver, October 21-24. Each year, they select a few senior
communities for site visits, based on
innovative features and/or unique
programming. This year, Shalom Cares
is honored to be one of the four facilities
chosen for tours. About 100 nonprofit
executives from across the country will visit
our campus on October 23.

The Dynamic Dedicated Dozen
Shalom Cares is a great place to work. Proof of that is in the longevity of our staff. “The old saying, ‘it’s not the destination, it’s the journey’ is what I think of when looking back
over 20 years with Shalom Cares,” says Brenda Scott, Event Coordinator. “It has been a great
and inspiriting journey watching the campus grow with each added entity. Shalom Cares as an
employer has been wonderful to me, and now as a family member, I am experiencing the other
side of the dedication, honor and love that we provide to our residents.” Brenda holds the
honor of having worked for Shalom Cares
the longest of all our employees. She
celebrated 20 years of employment with
Shalom Cares in July of 2012. Brenda’s
mother is a resident at Shalom Park
Nursing Home.
We wish to honor 12 of the first employees
hired (in ‘92 and ‘93) by Shalom Cares - Beth
Israel at Shalom Park back then - who are
still with the company. (Left to right in
back) Ida Frichette, Linda Watt, Tally Law,
Dan Stenersen, Marilyn Bogan, Karen Gates,

Hansen, Elizabeth Rukhotskiy; (not pictured)

Giving from the Heart
Generosity is an expression of the heart – whether
in words, deeds, or gifts.
Marilyn Bogan, Director of Donor Services,
invited Mary to Shalom Park. However, being
from Colorado Springs, she did not want to make
the trip, and she declined our offer to visit her she did not want to inconvenience us.
Shalom Cares is the beneficiary of a generous
estate gift from someone who, upon learning
about our mission and good work, put Shalom
Cares in her will.
Something resonated for Mary about our mission,
about the services we offer to those in need, about
our passion for caring and treating others as we
would “Our Mothers and Our Fathers.”
Mary Shore was not a resident or a family
member of Shalom Cares. She never visited the
campus. She never utilized our services. She
wasn’t Jewish.
Mary was an acquaintance – a friend of a friend –
to Shalom Cares. She was introduced to a former
board member who contacted her about our
organization.
3
Mary passed away five years ago. Her estate
gift to Shalom Cares was $850,000. With her
annual gifts over the many years before her
death, her contributions to Shalom Cares total
more than $1 million. We are honored to have
been remembered by Mary Shore with such
generosity.

Help Us Go Paperless!
Shalom Cares, a not-for-profit organization, is always looking
for ways to cut unnecessary expenses. We are also concerned
about our environment and the amount of waste we are
leaving for future generations. As such, our newsletter is now
available in an electronic format that can be emailed directly
to you. Please help by providing us with your email address.

The
Home Sweet Home
Spiritual Spotlight
by Rabbi Steven Rubenstein, Shalom Cares Director of Chaplaincy
enter that this is “hamakom” – the place –
where we Honor Our Mothers and Our Fathers
by providing the best care possible to all those
who call this place “home.” However, more
important than the space itself are the “rare and
wonderful treasures” that fill that space. What
makes this place my “home sweet home” are
the relationships that I have developed with
both staff and with residents. At the end of August, the residents and staff
celebrated twenty years of being at home at
Shalom Park. Several months before this event,
I began preparing for the High Holy Days
by embarking on a theme as a focus for my
sermons during this New Year period of time.
During the High Holidays, I spoke about what
it means to be “at home” -- at home in the
universe, at home in our individual abodes,
at home with our bodies, and at home in our
spiritual endeavors.
There is a Jewish expression we use when
celebrating a birthday: “May you live until 120.”
This refers to the life of Moses who was beloved
by the Children of Israel. So may Shalom Cares’
next one hundred years be filled with the seeds
of growth as we face the opportunities ahead,
transforming new spaces into sacred ones that
convey “home sweet home” to all who enter ~
defining Shalom Park as a place where heaven
and earth do meet!
In the past, I have given a gift to my
congregational family as a way to remind us
throughout the year about the significance of
my remarks. My gift to the residents and to
the staff involved the help of a resident artist,
Marcia Horwitch, who took a quote from the
Book of Proverbs that I provided to her, and
together
we created
an artistic
rendering
of a
“Blessing
of the
Home”
so that
residents
could have
something
special to
place on
their walls.
In the
lobby
of the
Nursing
Home,
there is a
large glass
wall that

Shalom Park Goes to the Dogs
It has been proven that stroking a pet or watching fish in an aquarium can relieve stress. Pets provide us with unconditional love. They don’t care if we are old or young, short
or tall, healthy or ill. They love us regardless. Shalom Park has always welcomed wellbehaved, leashed pets.
On August 2, the 19th Annual Shalom Park Dog Show took place, and we hosted a
multitude of dogs. We saw big dogs and small, young dogs and old, and dogs of every
shape and color. Residents, staff, volunteers, and friends arrived with their four-legged
furry pals to strut their stuff and entertain. The emcee for our dog show was American Kennel Club judge Dee Maltz. Dee was a
professional dog handler for 20 years and added many interesting tid-bits to the show. Thank you to everyone who participated in our Dog Show.
Pet Therapy Workshop
Sunday, November 4
A visit from a pet can have a positive effect on an elderly resident. Do you think your
dog has what it takes to be a therapy dog? Shalom Cares will be hosting a Pet Therapy
Workshop on Sunday, November 4 at 2:00 pm. This informational event will provide
details about:
• What to expect during a Pet Therapy visit
• Helpful hints for a successful pet visit
• The difference between Pet Therapy Certification and Pet Therapy Registration
This event will be geared toward pet owners only. If there is enough interest, we may
facilitate a team training session. Please RSVP to Jody at Jody.Neumann@ShalomCares.net
or 303-400-2205.

Staff Training Continues
Before the Mourning
Shalom Cares requires all staff to attend
mandatory training sessions throughout
the year. There are usually two training
sessions each month. Topics that are
covered include: fire safety, dietary
needs of the elderly, fall prevention,
infection control, resident rights, and
others. Working at Shalom Cares means
working in the home of our residents.
Understanding and respecting the wellbeing of our residents is vital to their
happiness.
Feldman Mortuary, Shalom Cares, and
Jewish Family Service are presenting a free
series dealing with grief. The series will
be held at noon on Thursdays at Shalom
Cares, and a kosher meal will be provided.

Le’Atid For the Future
“The level of service and quality of care is amazing,” says Bruce Bendell
when he talks about Shalom Cares. He continues, explaining why he
and his wife, Jennifer, have included Shalom Cares for a bequest in their
wills.
“I was living in Colorado when my father lived in Florida in a facility
somewhat similar to the Shalom Park Nursing Home. I know that the
Board members and donors there ensured that Dad received good care.
When he passed away, I realized that I wanted to dedicate my time and
resources where I could ‘give back’ – by visiting residents, serving on
the Board, and making financial contributions to benefit seniors.” Bruce joined our Board of Trustees in 2001. “I had never seen anything
like this before. The other Board members are very experienced and
devoted, and I have learned a tremendous amount from them. I am
honored to have the opportunity to serve with them.”
Founded on the
Jewish values of
improving the
world and caring
for all, Shalom
Cares upholds the
commitment to
Honor Our Mothers
and Our Fathers
by providing the
highest level of
personalized and
compassionate
healthcare.
Along with Bruce
and Jennifer,
your gift will
help us preserve
our community’s
dream of
providing the
highest quality of
care and services
for our clients.
Bruce and Jennifer
ask you to join
them in listing
Shalom Cares
for a bequest in
your will.
Jennifer says that her bequest to Shalom Cares is one way she honors
her parents, who live in Kansas City. “I joined Bruce in his commitment
to Shalom Cares because I feel that we have a responsibility to our
elders. They took care of us, and we can honor them by taking care of
others who need care but can’t pay for it themselves.”
Bruce and Jennifer impart their values and their commitment to the
community to their children, Isaac who is nine and Farrah who is seven.
As a family, they serve our community in many ways. We are indeed
fortunate that they have chosen to “give back” through the legacy
program of Shalom Cares, Le’Atid For the Future.

Client Spotlight
“I Will Never Forget What You Did For Me”
Liat was frightened when she was diagnosed
with breast cancer last spring. She didn’t
know what she was going to do. She had no
family. She had no insurance. She lived with
her 5 year-old daughter in a cold basement
bedroom.
From seeking grants for shelter and bills,
to spending time with Liat’s daughter, to
arranging transportation to and from doctor
appointments, our team provided physical,
spiritual and emotional care for both mother
and daughter. They temporarily lived in a
Shalom Park guest home, which provided
warmth and security – something they had
not experienced for years.
Fortunately, Liat had come to know several
Shalom Cares employees through her
caregiver job for a campus resident. Scared
about what this diagnosis meant for her and
her daughter, she finally shared her story
with two of our staff members.
“God put me in the right place with the right
people. I think I would not have been able
to survive without the Palliative Care team.
They have been like my breath. They are like
angels.”
As one would expect, the Shalom Cares
Palliative Care team took this situation to
heart. They designed a plan that would
support Liat and provide the care she needed
to get through her surgery and chemotherapy
sessions.
We’re pleased that Liat (not her real name)
and her daughter, who recently turned six, are
doing fine and continue to stay in contact with
the Palliative team members.
The Spalon is Open

as pet therapy, music therapy, massage
therapy,
