CapitalCare announces new vision, mission and values
Mailing Address
CAPITALCARE UNVEILED its new vision, mission and
values through a series of presentations to staff over the
month of October. The statements reflect the organization’s
shift over time from a medical model of continuing care to
a more social one, and the shift in culture towards personcentred care.
“Delivering high quality care has and always will be a
high priority for us,” said Iris Neumann, Chief Operating
Officer of CapitalCare. “Our new vision, mission and values
places equal value on ensuring the people in our care enjoy
a high quality of life as well, and becoming more personcentred is one way to achieve that balance.”
The new vision, mission and values continue to build
on changes CapitalCare has been making over the past
decade which included renovating dining rooms and
enhancing the mealtime experience.
Stakeholder consultations were held with staff,
physicians, residents and families, volunteers and donors.
Part of CapitalCare’s new vision, A community of continuing
care excellence where people care for people, came from
the consultation process.
The nine new values are “ways of being” that align with
CapitalCare’s new model of person-centred care and
guide members of the CapitalCare community in their
interactions with one another.
“Some of these values will stretch us; we’ll have to
practice and try new things,” says Sherry Schaefer, Director
of Fundraising and Donor Relations for CapitalCare
Foundation.
“Eventually we will all just be this way, without having to
think about it so much, and that’s when we know we are
living our values.”
The new vision, mission and values are presented by the
members of the Executive Management Committee in a
video featured on CapitalCare’s new website, which was
also launched in the fall.
The new website, at www.capitalcare.net, now features
recreation calendars for each of our 10 centres and day
programs.
Families are encouraged to consult
the calendars and look for activities
they can participate in with their loved
ones.

Stobbe and Mondy Carter that
promises to transform our views about
the people who live where we work.
The conference continues with

BY THE TIME you read this, recruitment is underway for
a new Chief Operating Officer, and I will be enjoying my
retirement after 18 years in various leadership positions
with CapitalCare.
One of my achievements before leaving the office in the
very capable hands of Lynnwood Administrator Francine
Drisner and the 11 other members of our Executive
Management Committee, was the roll out of our new
Vision, Mission and Values.
These new statements, which are the result of many
months of consultation with the various people in our
community, reflect our desire to continue the shift we
started making 20 years ago from an institutional model
of care to a more person-centred model.
You can hear us elaborate on the meaning of these
statements in a video available on our website. I want to
leave you with some final thoughts on the value “Balance
Living with Safety.”
One of the first things I did at the helm of
CapitalCare was implement and ensure compliance
with the government’s new continuing care health and
accommodation standards.
My father was a resident of one of our centres at the
time. I, like any other family member of a resident in our
care, wanted my father to receive high quality care and
services. I wanted him to feel safe and secure in his new
home, which also turned out to be his last. Most of all, I
wanted him to feel that he could continue living his life,
instead of waiting to die.
I quickly learned that safety and living life do not
necessarily go hand-in-hand.
Although I am proud of CapitalCare’s safety record and
its compliance with government standards, I believe that
the emphasis should be on living. Person-centred care is
one way to achieve both a high quality of life and a high
quality of care.
We started to lay the foundation for person-centred
care with our annual People and Progress Continuing Care
conferences, learning from models in the U.K. and U.S.
In 2012 we unveiled the first of 19 dining room renovations
at three of our oldest sites. The renovations, made possible
thanks to funds raised by the CapitalCare Foundation,

allowed us to serve hot, tasty meals right on the units.
And we took the opportunity to teach staff about new
“ways of being” with residents during mealtimes that
would enhance daily interactions and eventually shift
the focus from tasks and routines to making sure our
residents live each day as fully as possible.
“At CapitalCare, we are making changes that will
help people feel like they are living in the comfort of
their own homes,” I said at the time.
I wasn’t just thinking about physical renovations,
rather I thought we should be different, so that
people feel cared for, known, supported, involved and
connected to the people who lived and worked in the
communities our centres would become.
These ways of being are
embedded in our new values.

2012 – 2016 STRATEGIC PLAN
The Executive Management Committee has developed
a strategic plan for CapitalCare which reflects our
direction and priorities. It is shaped by our vision,
mission and values, and reflects our relationship with
Alberta Health Services. It is designed to meet changes
in continuing care, enable best practices, and support
our leadership. In order to track results and benchmark
with other providers, we have attached performance
measures.
The plan focuses on the following areas:
• CHOICE AND QUALITY FOR CONTINUING CARE
RESIDENTS — Implement an overarching model of
person centred care to inspire and guide service delivery,
utilize RAI/MDS and implement new approaches and
systems to support quality care and service delivery.
• INCREASE ACCESS, REDUCE WAIT TIMES — Maintain
and renovate continuing care centres and improve
access by optimizing use of care beds within the larger
program model.
• OUR PEOPLE ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE — Meet
changes in continuing care through role reviews to
ensure the right people at the right place and promote
excellence in staff safety.
• ENABLERS AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
— Strengthen quality, financial management and
partnerships.
A change at the helm of CapitalCare
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER IRIS NEUMANN retired October 30 after an 18year career with CapitalCare and more than 30 years in the Alberta health care
system. Francine Drisner, Administrator of CapitalCare Lynnwood, has stepped
into the role of acting COO while recruitment is underway.
“AHS is very fortunate to have a wholly-owned subsidiary that has been so
successful and is so passionate about the role they have in the health system,”
said Carol Anderson, executive director of continuing care for the Edmonton
Zone of Alberta Health Services.
“Being leaders in continuing care and providing person-centred care are not
just buzzwords for CapitalCare, it truly is the way the organization conducts
itself; and it’s because of Iris’ leadership, and because her team has participated
so wholeheartedly in the vision,
mission and values that Iris has
established for the organization.”
Neumann, one of the longestserving executives in CapitalCare
history, began her career with
CapitalCare in 1997 as the
administrator at CapitalCare
Grandview. From 2001 to 2006
Neumann was the administrator of
CapitalCare Lynnwood. She become
acting CEO for CapitalCare on Oct.
16, 2006 and was officially named
CEO in February of 2007. The title
of CEO was revised in 2014 to be in
alignment with other AHS subsidiaries
and the position title is now Chief
Operating Officer.
During her time at the helm,
Iris Neumann
CapitalCare, in collaboration with
Alberta Health Services, opened
many new programs offering
specialized complex care for people needing both long-term care and shortterm, post-acute care. The Enhanced Support Unit at CapitalCare Lynnwood
and the Restorative Care Units at CapitalCare Norwood and CapitalCare
Grandview are two such examples.
“Iris’ leadership has led to ongoing innovation and a true ‘can do’ spirit within
CapitalCare which has resulted in new care streams emerging for some of our
most vulnerable clients requiring quality living and health care environments,”
said Deb Gordon, Vice President and Chief Health Operations Officer, AHSNorthern Alberta.
Neumann bid farewell to staff and residents October 29 at CapitalCare
Lynnwood.
“It’s a tough job to balance the books, keep salaries competitive and to
maintain an emphasis on resident quality of life,” said Linda Stevenson, finance
director for CapitalCare. “Iris was always thinking of the frontline, and would
always look for ways to make ends meet to minimize the impact on the people
who live and work in our centres.”
“You would take time from your busy schedule and visit residents...a gentle
hand on the shoulder, a shake of the hand and ‘how are you today?’ making
us feel valued and have a true sense of belonging,” said Ken Heatherington, a
long-time resident of Lynnwood.
Drisner joined CapitalCare in 1998
as manager of community programs.
In 2006, she became administrator
of CapitalCare Dickinsfield. She had
been administrator at Lynnwood since
2011.
Drisner also participates in various
regional and national committees. She
is a member of the Seniors Quality
Leap Initiative (SQLI), a collaboration
of North America’s leading nursing
home care providers to share
performance data and the results of
specific initiatives in an effort to drive
improved quality of care and safety
of seniors. She is also a member of
the Alberta Continuing Care Quality
Working Group (CC-QIWG)which is
selecting quality indicators for the
Francine Drisner
continuing care sector that will be
reported to the public.
Drisner has a Bachelor of Science
in Occupational Therapy from the University of Alberta and a Masters in Health
Studies from Athabasca University. She has worked in a variety of settings
including acute care, rehabilitation and long-term care.
“One of the things about working in continuing care is there’s such a family
feel, and CapitalCare is such an amazing family to be part of,” said Drisner.
Bonnie Roberts, manager of Laurier House Lynnwood, is filling in for Drisner
as administrator at Lynnwood and Wendy Korrall, care manager at Laurier
House Lynnwood, is filling in as manager.

CapitalCare Foundation welcomes new board chair
DAVE JAMIESON BECAME the new board chair of the CapitalCare Foundation
November 18, and Jackie Rae Greening remains on the board as past chair.
Jamieson brings extensive experience in communications and broadcasting to
his new leadership role. He is currently a talk show host and program assistant
at BellMedia - TSN 1260. His previous roles include a term as the president
of the Edmonton Rush lacrosse team and 14 years as the vice president of
communications and broadcast for
the Edmonton Eskimo Football Club.
As well, Jamieson has a deep
appreciation for continuing care; both
his mother and aunt lived in long-term
care homes and his experience with
the person-centred care offered at
CapitalCare is what attracted him
to join the Foundation in February of
2013.
“I’m here because I want to help
ensure the best environments are
available to our residents,” said
Jamieson.
Whether a care home requires
updated equipment, new furnishings
or improved programming, Jamieson
says he wants to contribute to
make quality living available at all
Dave Jamieson
CapitalCare locations.
As the Foundation welcomes Jamieson to his new role, it thanks past chair,
Jackie Rae Greening, for her contributions.
Greening has been a proud, active member of the board since 2010. Some
of her key achievements include participating in the redesign of fundraising
efforts and introducing new events that generated significant funds for our care
facilities.
Greening’s passion to improve
the quality of seniors’ lives has
helped guide the board and has
made her a strong ambassador for
the Foundation. Recently named a
finalist for the National Philanthropy
Day Honors, we recognize her
extraordinary charitable work and
undying enthusiasm for raising
awareness and funds for seniors living
in care.
We thank Greening for her
contributions and wish Jamieson the
best of luck as the new board chair.

Letters
To all the staff of Unit 2D, CapitalCare Dickinsfield
I am wanting to send this e-mail as a HUGE!!!! THANK YOU!!! to the staff with
regard to their care for my father, Bill H.
In particular, we want to acknowledge the following staff: Melissa was a very
special person for my dad. She always made him smile; Jennifer always joked
with my dad. We called her the pill lady; Shelley took special care and was
concerned that he was always comfortable; and Connie, the care manager, for
her support of our family.
Our family was glad that we had chosen this home for my dad’s care; we
felt very comfortable knowing that he was getting the care that we could not
provide at our own home. We will definitely let others that need this care to
choose Dickinsfield. Thanks again. -Marti H.
To the staff of CapitalCare McConnell Place North
We just wanted to let all of you know how much we appreciate the care you
gave to Ken B. during his stay with you. Thank you for letting him “do his own
thing” and live his daily life the way he wanted to. Your compassion shines
through in what you do; you can see it in the residents. You are not told enough
of the wonderful job you do every day. Please know that all you do does not go
unnoticed and is greatly appreciated.
-The B. Family
To the staff of CapitalCare Grandview
Thank you all for the extra help and smiles I always received when I would stop
for a parking pass, meal tickets or any other requests. This centre has some of
the best staff members I have ever encountered. My compliments to you all.
-Patricia B
To the staff of CapitalCare Kipnes Centre for Veterans,
Thank you to all for those who were associated with my husband Walter. I know
that the short time that he was there that he was taken care of, which put my
mind at ease. Thank you for your words of comfort.
-Margaret H., June, Barb & families
To the staff of 2nd Parker Pavilion, CapitalCare Lynnwood
A heartfelt thank you for taking care of Baba – Mom, especially for the
wonderful and passionate care given to her in her final days, and for
accommodating us while we stayed with her.
-The C. Family
To all staff of the Restorative Care Unit of CapitalCare Norwood,
Thank you everyone for the outstanding care you gave me during my stay from
July 21 to September 15 at your wonderful facility. Special thanks to Sophie
for all your help to meet my needs and make me feel welcome; Ena for the
challenging physical therapy sessions to regain my mobility and balance; Maria
for helping me learn to be more independent; your encouragement / insistence
was very much appreciated.
I am now living at a retirement residence in Kelowna in a lovely one bedroom
unit. I receive daily assistance, but am continuing to become as independent as
possible.
Please accept my donation of $1,000 to the CapitalCare Foundation to be
directed specifically to the 3rd floor of Norwood.
Sincerely,
-Jim H.

Jim H. spent some time on the Restorative Care Unit at CapitalCare Norwood. He is now
living with daily assistance at a retirement residence in Kelowna, B.C. He sent this photo,
along with a donation for $1,000 to the CapitalCare Foundation, with thanks to staff for
helping him to restore his independence.
To the staff of 4th Parker Pavilion, CapitalCare Lynnwood
My mother, Frances C., had made her home there the past three and a half
years until recently passing. I cannot say enough about the care and family
feeling Jan Cooper’s staff gave to her during those final few years.
During the last three weeks of her life in the hospital, Jan invited my mother
back to Lynnwood for her final days, referring to her as “one of their own.” Staff
members, on more than one occasion, stopped by before/after their shift to visit
my mother and indicated how much they would miss her. There are no words
that can describe how this expression of caring made me feel.
One of my worst fears in life was to have a parent develop dementia
and move into a nursing home; but her moving into CapitalCare Lynnwood
comforted many of my fears. I cannot thank Jan and her staff enough for taking
care of my mother as if she was their own.
Yours truly,
-Don C.
To the caregivers at Laurier House Lynnwood
We would like to thank all of you for your kindness towards our Dad, Ken H.,
during his time at Laurier House over the past six years. Your conscientiousness
and helpfulness were so much appreciated by him as well as by our family.
Laurier became a safe and comfortable home for Dad, and this is due to the
wonderful care he received from you. Even though you have such a busy job, it
always seemed that you could take the time to connect with him and say a kind
word. He was very fond of you all and it made our family glad that he had such a
friendly place to live.
You are a wonderful, dedicated group of people, and our family would like you
to know that we are so grateful to you for all of your efforts.
We wish you all the best in the future.
-Maureen, Rod and Murray H. and families
To the staff of Heritage House at CapitalCare Strathcona
Many lives pass through your doors and it would be easy to treat each one as
“just another,” but instead, you are patient beyond belief and find a way to treat
everyone with respect, dignity, love, and compassion. You do not have an easy
job but you do it with grace. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you
have done for our mom, Marilyn M.
You are sincerely appreciated.
-David, Shauna, Laura
To the staff of Athabasca House, Kipnes Centre for Veterans
We would like to thank you for helping our/my dad – Paul O. get ready for
his 90th birthday party. He looked great and was ready for pick up when we
got there. We really appreciate all of your efforts and know that things can
sometimes be a challenge. You’re caring and do such a good job and it shows!
Regards,
-Linda D. R. & John L.
To the staff of Mackenzie House, Kipnes Centre for Veterans
Words cannot express how grateful I am that my dad has so many caring
and compassionate people to look after him here. I knew when I left he would
be in such good hands. Thank you so much for making his final few months
comfortable and pleasant. I know he is now at peace.
Blessings,
-Shelley K.
Families, friends give back in many ways
L-R Siebe Johannes Koopman of Dutch Delicious bakery presents the proceeds of a fundraiser
held Oct. 10 to Claudette Boisvert of the CapitalCare Norwood Palliative Hospice while visiting
Oma and Opa.
McConnell Place North resident Olga Ludwick (centre) and her husband
Morris enjoyed the High Tea hosted by family member Monica Bernard,
owner of Devine Creations Catering Company, Sept. 16.
Bernadine Bezanson, Therapy Assistant, McConnell Place North
FOR THE LOVE OF OPA was both the name of and the motivation behind
a fundraiser hosted by Dutch Delicious bakery October 10 which raised over
$8,400 for the Palliative Hospice at CapitalCare Norwood.
Opa refers to Weibrand Jager, grandfather to Dutch Delicious’ baker Siebe
Johannes Koopman. His family organized a Thanksgiving sale and celebration
at their shop to thank staff for caring for their beloved Opa.
“Opa is my dad, who loves anything Dutch and anything delicious (which
means it would have to be Dutch anyway),” his daughter Janneke Vanderhoek
posted on Facebook. “For many years, he enjoyed spending time with Oma and
Siebe at Dutch Delicious. Since June, he’s been a patient at Norwood, where he
continues to receive top-notch care from an incredibly devoted staff of doctors,
nurses, and caregivers.”
In addition to being able to purchase Dutch baking, pastries and apple torte
for their own Thanksgiving feasts, guests enjoyed a bouncy castle and photo
booth. It was everything Vanderhoek hoped for when she posted on Facebook:
“To honor your relatives, to celebrate your loved ones, with food, family, fun and
more, please come; we’d love to treat you to a Dutch ‘Gezellige’ experience!”
(Gezellige is Dutch for ‘homey, cozy, warm.’)
Proceeds will go towards Norwood’s TLC Legacies Living On campaign – an
ongoing project to renovate 22 rooms on the palliative unit so that residents and
family members can have a comfortable stay in a more home-like environment in
their final days. “Opa” passed away in November. The room he stayed in will be
renovated for the benefit of future patients and their families.

Ever since Thelma Osborn (front row, right) came to live CapitalCare
Lynnwood in 2011, her daughter Heather Osborn (back row, centre) would
celebrate Halloween with residents of the unit - 2nd Parker Pavilion, Heather

and the prizes for the games. Heather recently passed away but we thank
her for sharing her passion with others.

Celebrating volunteers:everyday heroes
345 “everyday heroes” attended CapitalCare’s annual Volunteer Appreciation
brunch at the Fantasyland Hotel in April. In 2014, approximately 650 volunteers
contributed well over 55,000 hours.
MCCONNELL PLACE NORTH is very appreciative and fortunate to have two
amazing Garden Angels: Kathy Conway & her daughter Liz Conway.
These angels have spent numerous hours volunteering in our perennial
gardens. They weed overgrown plants, pruning the abundance of shrubs & trees
that were planted many years ago, and have added many bags of mulch and
those special little garden trinkets for the residents to enjoy.
Kathy (pictured here) works at CapitalCare Dickinsfield. On her days off, she
and Liz can be found in our backyard from morning until evening. She has even
dedicated some of her vacation time to working in our gardens with Liz.
It is wonderful to hear from residents, staff and family members how beautiful
the backyard at McConnell Place North looks with all those special touches.
Words can not express our sincere appreciation for all the hard work and
dedication that both Kathy and Liz have shown to our home.

FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, Heather McBain has volunteered at CapitalCare
Strathcona, ever since our centre opened its doors. Heather volunteered five
days a week when she first started and has helped out in most departments
including Day Program, Food Services, Laundry Services and Reception. From
serving coffee to residents, working delivering mail, folding clothes, washing
dishes, and cleaning tables, Heather's done it all!
Today Heather is known for being
on time and ready to help in the
Hair Salon where she enjoys helping
the residents get to and from their
appointments. And if the need arises
for help in the Greenhouse, Heather is
the one to ask!
Heather is known by residents,
families and fellow volunteers and,
like all volunteers, is a part of the
CapitalCare Strathcona family. It's a
pleasure to work with Heather.
Thank you to all volunteers for
your contributions to the day to day
lives of people who call CapitalCare
Strathcona home.

TERESA CARTMELL has been
volunteering at CapitalCare
Dickinsfield since it opened in 1979.
She currently serves in the Ladies'
Auxiliary as well as providing a book
delivery service. Residents order
books from the Edmonton Public
Library and she delivers them here
and returns the previous books.
It's a lovely service that is most
appreciated, especially by residents
such as Robert Holubowich from
unit 2C (pictured here with Teresa).

Kipnes Centre celebrates 10 years
THE DIANNE AND IRVING KIPNES Centre for Veterans had a lot to celebrate
November 5 when donors and community groups joined staff, residents and
families for a tour of the continuing care centre they have made a true home
over the past ten years.
“Today we feel the same emotions as we did 10 years ago...excitement,
exhilaration and joy,” said Dr. Dianne Kipnes. “But today, we can congratulate
all of those who ... together comprise the soul of this facility. They have created
a place that embodies the respect, the sacrifice and the debt we owe to our
veterans.”
When it opened in November of 2005, the Kipnes Centre was already a
comfortable and dignified setting for Northern Alberta’s war veterans. Where
veterans had previously lived four to a room in the former Mewburn Veterans
Centre, here they could enjoy private rooms – each with garden views and
three-piece ensuites.
The 120 private rooms are grouped into eight houses of 15 residents. Each
house has its own kitchen and multi-purpose dining room. Veterans enjoy hot,
home-style meals and activities which involve them in the preparation and
enjoyment of meals.
“We are very blessed in Edmonton to have a special place for veterans,”
said Francine Drisner, Acting Chief Operating Officer for CapitalCare.
“This (neighbourhood) model is now considered best practice and is widely
acknowledged as a key to person-centred care. The neighbourhood model
encourages residents, families and staff to get to know each other, just like a
small community.
The main floor amenities include a Great Room for large events such as the
annual Remembrance Day service, a family dining room, a barber shop, exercise
room, pub, coffee shop and chapel. A day care operated by the YMCA creates
opportunities for residents and children to participate in inter generational
activities. On the second floor, recreation room allows veterans to engage in a
wide range of purposeful activities.
Almost immediately after the centre opened its doors, legions, service clubs,
military units and community groups began fundraising for additional amenities,
volunteering and organizing activities to further enhance veterans’ day-to-day
experiences.
By the centre’s 5th anniversary, a south-facing rooftop garden with a solarium
and covered patio for the enjoyment of second floor veterans was opened.
Donations also came for a bus, a home theatre system, electric beds, mattresses
and specialized equipment.
In the past five years, both the front and back gardens have been enhanced,
and the back garden, which was once an open field, is now a safe and
accessible garden area in which residents of the first floor can wander.
Families and military members maintain the raised planters in the garden and
shade trees and a new pergola offer gathering places for many to visit, meet
and enjoy the changing seasons.
Another way veterans enjoy the outdoors is through a donated wheelchair
bicycle with which recreation staff can take residents on trips around the
neighbourhood.
Inside the centre, a baby grand piano was donated and Senator Tommy
Banks has visited the centre to play for residents. It is regularly used for chapel
services, sing-a-longs, music therapy and much more.
“We are so grateful for all the amenities you have provided us with over the
years,” says Thorsten Duebel, Administrator. “They really do improve the quality
of care we are able to provide, which in turn leads to a better quality of life for
our veterans.”
And now the centre is fundraising to update furnishings in its eight
dining rooms. Funds have been raised to update two dining rooms and the
CapitalCare Foundation is helping to raise enough funds to complete the
remaining six.

Learning Circles Support Team
Development & Person-Centred Care
“REMEMBERING YESTERDAY,
CARING in the moment and working
together for a better tomorrow.”
This is the statement that guided
the CapitalCare Kipnes Centre for
Veterans during a study supported
by the Institute for Continuing Care
Education and Research (ICCER).
From Nov. 2014 to May 2015, a
series of learning circles at eight care
facilities, including Kipnes, were held
as part of a research project funded
by Covenant Health’s Network of
Excellence in Seniors’ Health and
Wellness. A learning circle brings
practitioners together in structured
workplace learning groups to discuss
practice topics of mutual interest.
An interdisciplinary team of Kipnes
Centre staff, including frontline
staff, allied health professionals and
administration staff, participated in
learning circles to increase teamwork
in support of CapitalCare’s movement
towards person-centred care.
Researchers found that learning
circles provided staff with a unique
opportunity to communicate and
collaborate with each other as well
as to develop their team across
disciplines.
Another outcome of the process
was that participants gained a
stronger understanding of the actions
and expectations related to personcentred care.
Guided by the statement they
created to define person-centred care,
staff worked on strategies to shift from
task-oriented to person-centred care.
They came up with the Are you free
for breakfast? campaign, whereby
non-care staff were asked to help
serve breakfast in busy units. As a
result, extra staff showed up to help
with breakfast and the change has
been implemented permanently.
Although the research project
has reached its end, Kipnes Centre
participants have expressed interest
in sustaining and expanding learning
circles with aims of continuing their
work.
The final report of the study From
Cooperative Learning Strategies to
Quality Continuing Care Workplaces,
as well as an online toolkit, will be
available in 2016 on the ICCER
website at www.iccer.ca.

Photography project at Dickinsfield
helps families reconnect to loved ones
IN AN EXAMPLE of person-centred care in action, CapitalCare
Dickinsfield has lined the walls of Unit Main AB with photographs depicting
residents reliving moments from their past. Staff members developed the
project, called Forget-Me-Not, to help families of residents with dementia
have meaningful visits with their loved ones.
“As staff members, we see the struggle families face when visiting their
loved ones with dementia; families yearn to connect with the person their
loved one used to be, but find that person is lost behind the disease of
dementia,” says Keeley Eigner, a recreation therapist at Dickinsfield and
one of three staff members involved with the project. “Some families have
told us they don’t visit because their loved one seems dead to them.”
A trio of staff members undertook the Forget-Me-Not project to
reestablish connections by reminding family members of who their loved
ones once were, and still are, despite their disease.
“We sought to uncover the personal values, qualities, cultures and
histories that make each person unique,” says unit clerk and photographer
Courtney Banman. “These photographs are a beautiful reminder that
residents with dementia are still the same person who experienced life’s
ups and downs, had jobs and commitments, families, loves and losses.”
Banman worked with therapy assistant Liz Bartek to photograph 16
of the unit’s 50 residents; some were photographed with their family
members.
The photos serve as a reminder to all who visit of the richness of life
once lived, and is still very much present, within each resident.
The project has also been submitted to the Culture Change Challenge,
a contest being held as part of the Walk With Me conference on culture
change coming to Edmonton in March 2016.
“To us, changing the culture of aging means helping families to
understand the disease process of dementia; that the personhood of
your loved one is still intact behind the disease, and that they continue to
live, in part, when loved ones engage with them in a way they will always
remember,” the trio wrote in their submission on behalf of residents of Unit
Main AB.
“Changing the culture of aging means teaching families not to fear the
changes that occur in their loved one’s journey towards end-of-life, and
giving them comfort in knowing we as caregivers will be beside them along
the way.”

Long-serving staff make a difference
in Alzheimer care, study shows
L-R: McConnell Place North residents Dawn Clark and Eleanor Zabiak greet visitors to the
dementia care centre’s 20th Anniversary celebration in July. The afternoon was spent visiting
with staff of today and of the past, and celebrating the many memories of McConnell’s 20
years. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus-St. Christopher Council 4788 (members and
wives) for their dedicated volunteer support and donations over the years which have put so
many smiles on the faces our residents and made life here so much brighter.
Sherri Bessette, Dementia Care Coordinator, CapitalCare McConnell Place North
Annie is a seamstress and has sewn all matter of things, including choir robes. At 102 years old,
she is the unit’s second “most life experienced” resident!
Myrtle calls herself a “fashion diva” and
has a love for glamour – wigs, makeup, high
heels - you name it!
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
McConnell Place North celebrated
a 20th anniversary on July 10. I was
astonished to find that nine staff
members (six who helped it open, and
three who arrived in the first year)
were still working there. Manager
Sherri Bessette celebrated these longtime staff by naming them on the walls
near the party’s guest book.
Do long serving staff make a
difference? No doubt they do. Justpublished research based on data
collected over eight years at three
Alzheimer care centres, suggests “the
model of care” works as well as any
drug yet discovered to maintain people
at the mid-stage of the disease. That
is a very important finding.
Thank you to these long-serving
caregivers who contributed to the
remarkable care environment found at
McConnell Place North:

Note: McConnell Place North
was the first of three Alzheimer care
centres that CapitalCare built. It is
also the best studied. The program
had a rigorous two-year evaluation (at
Woodside Place in Ohio) before it was
replicated in Edmonton. Then it was
evaluated by a team led by Dr. Sharon
Warren, professor emerita, University of
Alberta. Now with a new report on eight
years of data on how residents fare, it
may be the most researched model of
Alzheimer care to be found.

“Chairsonalities” encourage donations for their own cause at Strathcona casino
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE giving
inanimate objects personalities to
raise funds for a good cause.
CapitalCare Strathcona
transformed the Laurier House dining
room and lobby into a glamorous,
high rollin’ casino on October 23, in an
effort to raise funds for new chairs.
Who stole the spotlight? A twentyyear-old recliner, an armchair that’s
presently in use, and an impressive
sample of the future replacement
chair.
Social worker Georgie Pesaruk
brought these three chairs to life by
giving them vibrant personalities
through a poem, entitled
Chairsonalities, to encourage
donations.
The stakes were high for this
casino-inspired event and it was well
worth the gamble. The event raised
over $10,000!
As a Shared event with Rotary Club
of Sherwood Park, the proceeds will
go towards new chairs as Strathcona,
as well as Rotary project work in the
Sherwood Park community.
A warm thank you goes out
to our sponsors - especially our
presenting sponsor Sherwood Park
Hyundai, - who provide crucial and
endless support, as well as the
event committee, staff members and
volunteers who worked to make this
fundraiser a success for our deserving
residents.

Person-centred care at Lynnwood takes
just a few minutes a day
STAFF ON TWO different units at CapitalCare Lynnwood are finding it
doesn’t take much time to give person-centred care, and that the time they spend
with residents leads to feel good moments for both staff and residents.
On 4 Parker Pavilion, care manager Jan Cooper encourages staff to dedicate
an extra five minutes of meaningful, person-centred care each day to a resident
who isn’t on their care list. Cooper calls her initiative the 5-Minute Plan.
“I want to give staff permission to step away from tasks and engage in personal
interactions that aren’t part of their usual nursing care,” explains Cooper.
Staff interact with residents by looking at pictures, building puzzles and
enjoying walks. In the summertime, Cooper expands the plan to allow for a
10-minute walk outside each day.
Staff record their minutes during each shift and Cooper adds up all the minutes
at the end of each month. The goal was to reach 20,000 minutes of extra personcentred care by September 30. Cooper’s team proudly accomplished 24,420
minutes, or 407 hours.
“Full-time staff members can accumulate up to 100 minutes a month,” says
Cooper. “It makes staff feel good and residents love the attention.”
Staff on 4PP have integrated the 5-Minute Plan into their daily routines and
continue to build meaningful relationships, minute by minute, with residents. Now
staff on 2PP are trying out the 5-Minute Plan too.
On 3 Lynnwood Pavilion, care manager Elmira Munch is experimenting with
ways to engage residents whose higher degree of cognitive impairment can prove
challenging.
For 15 minutes one day in April, July, and November, frontline and professional
staff, including HCAs, LPNs, RNs, unit clerks, OT/PTA/RTA, were scheduled in two
shifts to meet residents in the dining room. Their only task was to reminisce, look
at photos or complete some sensory activity. “The residents and staff both enjoyed the time together,” says Munch. “The staff
learned things about the residents that they did not know and there were smiles
all around.”
Munch herself participated in the activity and experienced what dementia care
expert David Sheard calls “butterfly moments.”
“I was making a craft with a lovely lady with end-stage dementia who normally
doesn’t speak,” Munch recalls. “As I was showing her stickers and asking which
ones she liked, she nodded, tried to speak and smiled, The smile was so incredible
that it brought tears to my eyes and that moment will live in my memory forever.
That was my butterfly moment.”
“I would like to see this type of interaction happen once every two months, then
hopefully more,” says Munch.
Staff and residents on Unit 3 LP at CapitalCare Lynnwood are all smiles as they experiment
with ways to fit person-centred care into their busy days. In the photo above, L-R, Heidi Reese
and Mary Milbrandt reminisce over a fashion magazine, and in the photo below Frank Timoteo
and Anna Taylor discuss the topic of a book.

COMMUNITY
REPORT
ON news stands NOW!
For more information on how donors have helped change the
lives of residents at CapitalCare, pick up a copy of the 2015
Community Report at most grocery stores, pharmacies, banks,
health & shopping centres near you! Or view it online at
www.capitalcarefoundation.net
CapitalCare Foundation is very thankful for the support from our
donors and supporters. The following items have been added to the
centres, enhancing the lives of the residents where they live.
Welcome
to the newly
designed & decorated
patio’s at McConnell Place North.
Purchases include water fountains,
patio set, flowers, lights, cushions and
ornamental trees. The pictures reflect two
different patios; one has pink decorations,
the other blue representing the themed
rooms inside the centre. “The patios
create a comforting atmosphere for
our residents” says Bernadine
Bezanson, staff from MPN
Helen (client) at CHOICE Norwood is using one of
the new Advantage rails. They are used to assist our
residents to get in and out of bed maintaining their
own independence.
Joyce (resident) and Ena (staff) is using
one of the new heavy duty walkers at
CapitalCare Norwood. Heavy duty
walkers provide safety and stability for
those who need additional support to
walk independently.

Bernadine Bezanson, Therapy Assistant at CapitalCare McConnell Place North,
(2nd from the right) accepts a donation for $2, 000 from a few members of Jobs
Daughters Bethel 18. The donation will be put towards building a raised garden
bed for the centre’s roses.
The Den is Grandview’s newest addition
CAPITALCARE GRANDVIEW has a new den thanks to CapitalCare Foundation
and its generous community of supporters.
A seldom-used staff library was renovated into a comfortable space for
residents and families to spend time together. “The repurposing of the library has brought new life to the room,” said
Lori White, Administrator for Grandview. “You often see family and residents
sitting and having a nice visit over coffee. We’re very fortunate to have the
Foundation’s financial support for this project.”
The inspiration for ‘The Den’ came from a series of art pieces, kindly donated
by Karen Brownlee. From the art flowed the color and fabric choices, which
together created a common - and calming - theme room.
The naming of the room was done through a contest open to the Grandview
community of residents, staff and families. Names were submitted and five were
voted on at a Resident/Family Council meeting.
“The Den is simple and something that our residents can relate to. It’s a room
many of them would have had in their own homes,” explained staff member Erin
Holden, who submitted the winning name.
For more information on donations and projects like this contact CapitalCare
Foundation at 780.448.2413.

19TH ANNUAL
CHARITY GOLF
CLASSIC
August
12, 2015
An evening to remember!
The first-ever Feast on the Field was a huge Edmonton success with more than 300 people seated right on the turf at Commonwealth Stadium. The
warm, August evening provided the perfect backdrop to enjoy the picnic-style feast prepared by three of Edmonton’s top chefs; Brad Smoliak, David
Omar, and Steve Buzak. Proceeds from the event were over $100,000 and will support restorative care for seniors at CapitalCare centres.
Thank you to our sponsors!
