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.

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, VISION A community of continuing care excellence where people care for people. @capitalcareYEG MISSION We provide person-centred care with dignity and kindness.

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. “We It’s my hope that you learn making are them and live them as you that wi changes ll help p continue on the journey of f e e l l ike the eople providing care and service y are living in that is person-centred. t h e comfor of their And if it’s not too much t o w n h to ask, please remember o m e s.” -Iris Ne what I used to tell myself umann each time I visited with residents: “We work in the residents’ home, they do not live in our workplace.” 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. Bernadette DeSantis, Communications Manager, CapitalCare Corporate Services 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. Sherry Schaefer, Director, Fundraising and Donor Relations CapitalCare Foundation Jackie Rae Greening 3 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. Donating is really easy You can donate to the CapitalCare Foundation right from our website! Just go to www.capitalcarefoundation.net > Donate now and you can donate either one time or on a monthly basis to the centre of your choice, or where it’s needed most. 4 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. Sherry Schaefer, Director, Fundraising and Donor Relations, CapitalCare Foundation 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 provided the costumes for the residents (waist up), the food for their snack and the prizes for the games. Heather recently passed away but we thank her for sharing her passion with others.

An avid games enthusiast, Felix is often seen playing cards, going to the casino or watching sports on television. Both games are a huge hit with residents on his floor and promise to be well utilized.

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. Bernadine Bezanson, Therapy Assistant McConnell Place North Piper Robert Baker, RCL Branch 175 - Kingsway (and a volunteer at the CapitalCare Kipnes Centre for Veterans) kicked off the event with lively bagpipe music. L-R: CapitalCare Norwood Coordinator of Volunteer Services Linda Ruggles poses at the photo booth with long-time volunteer Rosa Dessin. 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. Heather McBain 6 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).

Contact the coordinator of volunteer services at the centre Like us on FB nearest you by e-mail: capitalcare.edmonton volunteercapitalcare@capitalcare.net 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.

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.” Gail Katzenback, Educator, CapitalCare Corporate Services 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: 20 years Aleksandra M., Kerry K., Sandra R., Kathy C., Sue C., Melanie T. 19 years Nida M., Cheryl T., Pat S. Michael worked as a pipefitter and used to play both the violin and the saxophone. 17 years Gilda B., Wilma I., Gwen J., Ana K. Soly S., Sharon B. 16 years Fermin D. 15 years Jessie M. & Mike T. 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. Doris L.

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.

On Nov. 2, a group of 20 individuals spent the morning at CapitalCare Strathcona doing yard work/clean-up in the midst of a team building day. If you and your team are interested in planning a team building day please contact Haley Shewciw, Marketing & Communications Coordinator, at 780.448.2426. 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.

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.

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! Neil Brass Professional Corporation 24
