MONTEFIORE
BOARD OF MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTIVE
The Home is managed and
administered by an elected Board of
Management. All Board members act
in a voluntary capacity and oversee all
facets of the Home’s administration,
with the support of a number of
different committees. The Board
is responsible for the continuing
financial viability of the Home.
Today, the Board faces the challenge
of the demanding economic
environment, a growth in the
number of elderly people in our
community, and the need to provide
appropriate care for the everincreasing number of people
with dementia.
This climate has strengthened
the Board’s resolve to continue
developing and promoting best
practice in all aspects of aged care,
constantly reviewing and improving
the services we provide to ensure
that the elderly in our community
receive the care and quality of life
they deserve.

BOARD MEMBER
LEORA ROSS
BOARD MEMBER
Dr Susan Hertzberg is a qualified medical practitioner
and currently Senior Emergency Specialist at the
Prince of Wales Hospital. She also has a Masters
degree in Health Law and is interested in quality health
care for the aged. The Prince of Wales Hospital sees
a large number of residents from Montefiore and
provision of high quality care to these residents is
a high priority.
Barry was born into a family that has a deep and
long-lasting relationship with the Home. His mother,
Miriam, was a driving force of the Ladies Committee
for many generations, in addition to being a Board
member for over 17 years.
Trevor is a senior advisory partner and NSW leader
of health and aged care with Grant Thornton
Australia, an international accounting firm, and a
member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants.
Leora Ross graduated in Pharmacy in 1977 and
worked as a pharmacist, before doing some voluntary
work in the community whilst raising her 3 children.
She remains actively involved in the community
and is currently a volunteer guide at the Sydney
Jewish Museum.
Proudly elected to the Board in 2001, he
continues this commitment with a deep passion
and involvement and is presently on the
Admissions Committee.
Susan has a long association with a number of
communal organisations and was a member of the
Board of the Great Synagogue in 2010 and 2011.
After a 5 year period working with a sharebroker,
Barry began his career in the ladies clothing industry
in 1965. In 1969 he commenced his own clothing and
manufacturing business, which he ran successfully
until 1998.
Susan serves on various professional and
hospital committees.
During the early 1970’s and under the Presidency of

resolved to ensure that the vision of Montefiore
Home to excel as a provider of high standard care,
maximising the quality of life for the elderly in our
community continues.

PRESIDENT’S
ANNUAL REPORT FY2014-15
RENÉE SYMONDS
BOARD MEMBER
JEREMY WAINE
BOARD MEMBER
Renée is a Clinical Psychologist and holds a degree
in Education. Renée was elected to the Board in
2001, having already been an active member of the
Operations Committee.
Jeremy Waine has more than 15 years’ experience with
leading companies in the financial services sector.
He began his career as a corporate lawyer at
Mallesons and then moved into investment banking
and principal acquisitions at UBS Investment Bank,
CBA, Westpac and GE Capital.
In her years as a Board member she has written
papers, presented at conferences on aspects of
ageing, dementia, placing one’s relative in the Home
and life within the Home.
Jeremy joined the Board at the end of 2008 due
to his strong interest in the aged care sector and
passion for helping the community. He has served
on the Finance and Investment Committee and the
Nominations Committee.
Renée is passionate about contributing to the
education of staff. She authored and was instrumental
in setting up the Montefiore Staff Holocaust
Awareness program which is conducted monthly at
the Sydney Jewish Museum. This program which trains
Montefiore staff to deal with the special requirements
of our survivors, has, to date, won 2 prestigious awards
for Montefiore. As a child of Holocaust survivors, this
is very close to her heart.
‘THE RECENT BETTER PRACTICE AWARD
MEANS THAT THE HOME HAS RECEIVED
A TOTAL OF 8 AWARDS FOR INNOVATION
AND EXCELLENCE FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.’
Jeremy also sits on several Board sub-committees
of the Children’s Medical Research Institute, namely
the Audit and Risk Committee and the Finance and
Investment Committee.
In my report to Members last year
I took pleasure pointing out the
many achievements and milestones
showcased within the pages of
that year’s Annual Report and I am
delighted to advise that this year
is no different.
Within this year’s Annual Report
you can read about the services and
innovation that makes Montefiore
one of the most talked about and
12
recognised aged care providers in
the country. In the words of the
CEO of the Federal Government’s
Australian Aged Care Quality
Agency, Nick Ryan, when he
presented the organisation
with a Better Practice Award
in October last year, ‘Montefiore
is considered to be one of the
highest performing organisations
in the country.’
13
As I write this report we have
been notified that we have
received another Better Practice
Award, this time in relation to
our iTraining program which is
an interactive eLearning platform
that we developed in-house and
which enables staff to complete
their mandatory training
requirements online.
The recent Better Practice
A N N UA L R E P O R T 20 1 4–20 1 5
Award means that the Home has
received a total of 8 awards for
innovation and excellence from
the Federal Government for
areas which include clinical care,
education, lifestyle, hotel services,
volunteering and spiritual and
cultural wellbeing.
The Board is extremely proud that
these areas have been recognised
for excellence and works in close
partnership with the CEO, Robert
Orie, and the management team
entrusted to deliver the standard
of care the community has come
to expect. In this regard, I would
like to acknowledge the efforts
of Robert and the members of
the management team as well as
the entire staff for transferring
the Board’s vision into tangible
outcomes for residents and care
recipients at an operational level.
GOVERNANCE – SETTING
THE STANDARD
Amongst the high standard of
accommodation and services
the Home provides, it is easy to
overlook the fact that Montefiore
is first and foremost a charity.
Providing care and services to
the elderly of our community
regardless of the older person’s
financial means is a philosophy that
strikes at the heart of Montefiore’s
charitable endeavours and has
earned the Home the reputation
of not only being one of the finest
aged care providers in Australia
but also one of its most respected
benevolent institutions.
In my opinion, the Board of the
Montefiore Home have done an
outstanding job balancing the
finances of the Home to ensure it
remains financially robust whilst
at the same time being able to
maintain high standards of care and
accommodation for everyone.
This is even more remarkable when
you consider that over the last 10
years the elected Board of the
Montefiore Home has overseen the
construction of the extraordinary
campus at Randwick, navigated
its way through the Global
Financial Crisis and continues
to successfully steer the Home
through an extremely challenging
economic environment where
operating income generated from
the investment of refundable
accommodation deposits is
severely impaired by historically
low interest rates.
MEMBERSHIP –
HAVE YOUR SAY
I encourage everyone that
supports the philosophy of the
Home to become a Member so
that you are eligible to vote at an
Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Ultimately, the Board sets the
philosophy and parameters under
which an organisation operates.
It is vitally important that you,
as supporters of the Home,
understand the philosophy and
agenda of those seeking election
and exercise your right to vote
and thereby have a say as to
which Board members you wish
to represent the interests of the
organisation and the many elderly
people it cares for.
Following last year’s AGM
many of the Home’s Members
expressed their grave concern
that the election process allowed
for candidates to nominate
for an Executive position on
the Board, being the positions
of President, Vice-President,
Honorary Treasurer and Honorary
Secretary, without having any prior
experience or involvement as a
Montefiore Board member.
During the year the Board
considered this matter and
resolved to address this concern
by seeking an amendment to
the Rules which requires any
candidate to have served at least
24 months as a Board member
before being eligible to be elected
to an Executive position, subject
to the right of the Board to waive
this requirement in exceptional
circumstances.
At this year’s AGM, to be held at
Montefiore Home, Hunters Hill,
on Sunday 6 December 2015,
Members will be asked to vote in
favour of the proposed amendment
to Rules, along with a few other
minor changes intended to clarify
the definition of a Member, and
will also be informed about the
Seniors’ Living Apartments King Street frontage (artist impression)

Seniors’ Living Apartments interior shot (artist impression)
adoption of a Board Charter which
incorporates term limits relating to
Board and Executive positions.
PLANNING FOR
THE FUTURE
As the largest provider of aged
care services to the Sydney
Jewish Community, Montefiore
understands the importance of
planning in order to meet the
future needs of the community.
In this regard, the Board has been
particularly focused over the past
year on the following key areas;
•The continued expansion of our
home-care services
•M aster-planning of the Hunters
Hill Campus
•The next stage of development
at the Randwick Campus which
includes additional residential
aged care places as well as
seniors living apartments
In relation to our HomeCare
division, the Board has been
extremely pleased with the
continued growth of this service
which provides a broad range of
care and support options to those
still living in their own home. As
you can read in the CEO’s report,
this part of our business is likely to
experience exceptional growth in
demand from February 2017 when
current funding arrangements
for home-care services are due
to change.
With regard to the Hunters
Hill Campus, the organisation
has invested significant funds
to progressively upgrade the
campus over a number of years
with the nursing home and special
15
care (dementia) units being fully
refurbished along with associated
communal areas.
The Board has embarked on a
master-planning process for the
site and is considering a number
of options that will enable the
refurbishment or rebuilding of
some of the older style hostel
accommodation. The difficulty
at present is that the Hunters Hill
site, along with all of our other
campuses, is experiencing high
demand and full occupancy, making
any rebuilding program difficult.
Which brings me to the next stage
of development at the Randwick
Campus. This represents the
most immediate project on the
horizon and one which will require
significant financial resources to
deliver to the community.
A N N UA L R E P O R T 20 1 4–20 1 5
CEO’S
RANDWICK STAGE 2,
INCLUDING SENIORS’
LIVING APARTMENTS
Regular readers of Montefiore
Life would be aware that we are
well advanced with the planning
of a new 90 bed dementia specific
unit at Randwick and we see the
inclusion of serviced apartments as
providing further choice for those
seeking supported accommodation.
During the year we undertook
extensive market research
which indicated that the style of
accommodation offered by the
proposed seniors’ living apartments
is greatly sought after.
The luxury apartments envisaged
for the site will provide a mix of 1, 2
and 3 bedroom accommodation for
individuals and couples wishing to
optimise their independence whilst
at the same time having access to
the outstanding amenities available
at the Randwick Campus and
with the comfort of knowing that
assistance, if required, is only a
call away.
Living in the apartments, which are
specifically designed for the older
person, enables access to a range
of additional services and support,
including a variety of communal
activities, that are either included
as part of the accommodation cost
or which attracts an additional
associated fee.
Typically, access to amenities
such as a club lounge, pool and
gymnasium as well as services
such as cleaning, laundry and the
peace of mind of 24/7 emergency
assistance is incorporated into the
accommodation costs.
On the other hand, additional
services such as the provision
of meals or personal assistance,
such as that provided by nurses,
usually attracts an additional fee.
The important point, however, is
that these additional services are
readily available and comparatively
cost effective given the economies
of scale and existing services at
the Randwick Campus. Should
a resident require even greater
care the adjacent services of the
Randwick Campus can be easily
accessed.
With regard to accommodation
costs, this is generally facilitated
through what is referred to as a
loan/licence arrangement where
a lump sum is paid upon entry and
where the organisation guarantees
to refund an agreed amount upon
departure. In this way Montefiore
is able to retain ownership of the
apartments.
The planned development will
include two additional levels of
underground car-parking providing
parking for a total of 288 cars,
more than enough to service the
needs of the apartments as well as
the entire campus.
I look forward to keeping you
informed regarding the progress of
this exciting project.
WITH THANKS
The Home is a vibrant and
successful organisation and there
are many people who contribute
to its success. Unfortunately it
isn’t possible to thank everyone
within the confines of this report
but I would like to single out a few
individuals and groups for special
mention.
Firstly, I’d like to thank our vibrant
group of volunteers who contribute
so much to the wellbeing of our
residents. I’d like to specially
mention our Ladies Committee,
ably headed by Co-Presidents
Annette Joseph and Cathy Shapiro
for their efforts in raising much
appreciated funds for the Home,
16
as well as the members of the fete
committee consisting of Alma
Goldman, Sylvia Kohn, Sam Zweig,
Michael Fischer and
Howard Kaplan.
The Home benefits from a richness
of Jewish Culture and tradition
and this is in no small way due
to the efforts of our wonderful
Rabbi and Rebbetzin David and
Vicky Rogut. I’d also like to
acknowledge the efforts of our
Spiritual, Cultural and Community
Engagement Manager, Lynda Dave,
for the support she provides to
Rabbi Rogut and for her passion to
enhance the cultural and spiritual
lives of our residents.
As mentioned earlier in my report,
sincere appreciation to our CEO,
Robert Orie, the management
team and all the staff who, on a
daily basis, care for our residents
and home-care clients.
The Home operates with a
dedicated and cohesive Board
of Management and I would like
to take the opportunity to thank
my Executive, Gary Inberg, Peter
Gonski and Tom Mautner, along
with our fellow Board members for
their professionalism and guidance.
Finally thanks to the community
– our Members, Benefactors,
Bequestors, Life Governors and
supporters who enable us to
continue to provide world-class
accommodation and care for the
elderly in our community.
David Freeman, AM
President
‘BEING THE CEO OF AN ORGANISATION
THAT HAS SUCH A STRONG COMMITMENT
TOWARDS INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE
IS TRULY AN HONOUR.’
I am delighted to report that
the past year has been another
highly successful period for
Montefiore Home with the year
containing many achievements
and outcomes for which we can be
justifiably proud.
These include industry leading
programs such as our Philosophy
of Living (POL) initiative, iTraining
education platform and our
outstanding Nurse Practitioner
program which, in addition to
taking our clinical care services
to an unprecedented level, has
been responsible for a significant
reduction in avoidable transfers
to hospital.
The Home also completed the
installation of fire sprinklers at its
Maroubra, Woollahra and Hunters
Hill sites which was a significant
capital project requiring complex
project management. All of
the organisation’s facilities now
operate with the added protection
of fire sprinklers.
I encourage everyone to read about
these and other outstanding programs
and achievements highlighted in this

The quality and depth of these
services is unmatched by any other
aged care provider and the fact
that we can provide these services
to all members of the community,
irrespective of whether they have
the capacity to pay full fees or are
heavily subsidised by the Home, is
really quite remarkable.

OUR POINT OF
DIFFERENCE
What truly sets us apart from
other aged care providers is the
quality and depth of the services
we deliver to both the residents
accommodated in any one of our
outstanding campuses as well as the
growing number of clients accessing
outreach services through our
HomeCare division.
Whilst we take enormous pride
in the calibre of the clinical and
nursing services we provide, it is
the inclusion of a broad range of
services, such as physiotherapy,
social work, diversional and creative
therapy, as well as our exceptional
Religious and Cultural program
and enhanced catering and dining
experience, that makes a material
difference to the quality of life of
the older persons in our care.
Add to this the myriad of activities,
entertainment and special events
available for residents to enjoy and
you start to get a feel for the rich
tapestry of services Montefiore
Home provides.

Demand for residential aged care
accommodation grew steadily
during the course of the year
and was particularly strong in the
high-care nursing home units as
well as the special care (dementia)
units across all campuses. We are
currently experiencing long wait
lists in these areas and demand is
expected to continue to grow in
the future.
As outlined in the President’s
report, we are well advanced with
planning for the expansion of the
Randwick Campus. The next stage
of development will add a further
90 residential care places as well
as much sought after seniors’
living apartments.
Following a redistribution of 60
dementia specific places from the
existing campus to the new building,
the 90 additional residential care
places will provide 30 dementia
specific places and 60 high-care
nursing home places. Pending final
cost estimates and financial analysis,
we are hopeful of commencing
building work towards the latter
part of next year.
restrictions that currently apply
to the provision of Government
subsidised Home-Care services
are removed.
Under the current arrangements,
aged care organisations that
provide Government subsidised
Home-Care services to older
people living in the community are
unable to provide the service on a
subsidised basis unless they have
been allocated a funding ‘package’
by the Commonwealth Government
and that package isn’t being utilised
to provide care and support to
someone else.
The provision of funding packages
by the Government has, to date,
been highly controlled and has
rarely met the actual demand for
services. For this reason, many
older people who have been
assessed and who are eligible to
access a funded package are
unable to find a provider that has a
package available.
This is certainly the case for
Montefiore’s HomeCare division
who, despite having an allocation
of 96 packages, is often unable
to provide care services on a
subsidised basis to a particular client
because of the lack of an available
package at the time.
From 1 February 2017 this supply
restriction will be removed with
eligible older Australians being
assigned a personal funding package
and able to direct the funding to the
provider of their choice.
thank you all for your contribution
during the year.
What this means in practice is that
older people eligible to receive a
subsidised package will no longer
be reliant on finding a provider with
an available package and limited to
choosing that provider. The funding
will be effectively attached to the
older person and they can direct this
funding to the provider of their choice.
Our volunteers are also a valuable
part of our workforce and I thank
them for donating their time and
skills to enhance the quality of
life of our residents. Additionally,
those people in the community
who support us through bequests,
donations and memberships – you
have my deepest gratitude.
Montefiore supports this initiative
as it is an exciting opportunity to
expand our subsidised program
and thereby enable the Home to
provide care and support to all older
members of the community that
wish to access our services.
I mentioned earlier our exceptional
Religious and Cultural Program and
this is in no small way due to the
efforts of our Spiritual Dean, Rabbi
David Rogut OAM, and Rebbetzin
Vicki Rogut. Thank you for the
support and guidance you provide
our residents, staff and family
members.
IN APPRECIATION
Being the CEO of an organisation
that has such a strong commitment
towards innovation and excellence
is truly an honour. I also feel
privileged to lead a management
team comprising highly skilled and
experienced professionals who share
that commitment. To this end, I would
like to acknowledge the efforts of my
Leadership Team and all the senior
managers within the organisation.
We currently employ around 1000
staff members and the success of
the past year is very much due to
the commitment and efforts of this
wonderful group of people. On
behalf of the residents, Board and
the entire management team, I

TREASURER’S
The Montefiore Home is recognised
both within Australia and overseas
for providing high standards of
accommodation, care and services.
What is truly remarkable is that
the organisation has been able
to attain this enviable reputation
despite the fact that a large number
of its residents are financially
disadvantaged and unable to make
a meaningful contribution towards
their actual cost of care.
A recent study undertaken in
conjunction with the Jewish
Communal Appeal (JCA) showed
that around a third of all residents
cared for by the organisation are
only able to contribute a portion of
their pension towards their overall
costs, leading to a deficit of more
than $15,000 per annum for each
and every one of these residents
even after Government subsidies
have been taken into account.
Thankfully, the quality of the
accommodation and services
provided by the organisation enable
it to attract full fee paying residents
which generates an income stream
that can be used to cross-subsidise
the loss associated with providing
care and services to those with lesser
financial means.
The effectiveness of the cross-subsidy
model, along with the ongoing
generosity of the community,
contributed towards the organisation
achieving a consolidated profit of
$10.246 million for the financial
year ending 30 June 2015, before
depreciation and other adjustments.
INCOME
Total Revenue amounted to $94.349
million of which $89.580 million
was attributable to operating
income, including proceeds derived
from the investment of refundable
accommodation deposits held on
behalf of residents.
Government subsidies remain the
single largest income source and
totalled $41.607 million for the year,
which was an increase of 12.4% in
comparison to the previous year.
The large growth in care subsidies
was primarily due to the increasing
care needs of our residents, which
attracts a higher subsidy level,
plus the continued expansion
of our home-care services and
the associated deployment of
Government subsidised Consumer
Directed Care packages. In
addition, the organisation utilises a
sophisticated business intelligence
system to ensure we receive our full
entitlement to Government subsidies
payable in relation to our residents
and home-care clients.
In relation to non-operating income,
bequests and other fundraising
revenue totalled $4.760 million for
the year. Bequests and donations
are critically important as they are
used to fund the construction of
future aged care facilities and we
remain extremely appreciative of the
community’s ongoing support.
EXPENSES
The provision of aged care services is
labour intensive so it should come as
no surprise that employee expenses
remain the largest cost item and
totalled $64.609 million for the year,
including superannuation and workers’
compensation insurance costs.
Other expense items totalled
$19.494 million with catering
supplies being the next highest cost
item behind labour at $4.478 million.
20
OVERALL RESULT
As mentioned earlier, the
organisation returned a
consolidated profit of $10.246
million for the financial year ending
30 June 2015, before depreciation
and other adjustments.
‘A THIRD OF ALL RESIDENTS ARE
ONLY ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE A
PORTION OF THEIR PENSION
TOWARDS THEIR OVERALL COSTS.’
Following the inclusion of
depreciation, which amounted to
$8.006 million, and adjustments
relating to the net proceeds from
the sale of financial assets and their
revaluation, as well as a modest
income tax liability, the Home
returned an overall surplus of
$2.022 million.
The relatively small provision for
income tax relates to National Nurses
Plus, a labour hire firm of which the
Home owns a majority interest.
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL
POSITION
The Home’s Statement of Financial
Position (Balance Sheet) remains
exceptionally strong with net assets
of more than $323 million as at 30
June 2015.
The Home continues to have no
external debt apart from the
refundable accommodation deposits
and interest free loans held on behalf
of residents and which represents
95% of its total liabilities, a truly
remarkable achievement and
comparable to the best performing
corporate institutions.
In addition to its listed investment
portfolio, which represents about
19% of total assets, the majority of
the Home’s liquid assets are invested
with major banks on term deposit.
During the year the Board decided
to take advantage of the buoyant
property market and auctioned
a number of non-aged related
investment properties which
realised sales figures well above
recent valuations. This resulted
in a significant increase in the
organisation’s cash holdings.
The high level of liquidity
represented by cash and cash
equivalent deposits ensures that
the Home can comfortably refund
accommodation deposits as and
when necessary.
WITH THANKS
On behalf of the Executive and
the Board, I would like to take this
opportunity to sincerely thank all
of our supporters, volunteers and
benefactors for their significant
contribution towards the wellbeing
of our residents and care recipients.
I would also like to thank the Home’s
Director of Corporate Services,
Andrew Kew, Chief Financial Officer,
21
Nick Pezikian, and the members of
the Finance Department for their
assistance during the year.

THE ROAD TO REFORM
‘IT IS AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND OUR SUBSIDISED
HOMECARE PROGRAM AND ENABLE THE HOME TO PROVIDE
CARE AND SUPPORT TO ALL OLDER MEMBERS OF THE
COMMUNITY THAT WISH TO ACCESS OUR SERVICES.’
From 1 July 2014:
•The introduction of formal meanstesting for older persons wishing
to access Government funded
Home-Care packages.
Where to from here?
•The strengthening of meanstesting relating to residential aged
care by combining the existing
income and asset tests to ensure a
consistent approach.
The next major reform initiative
is due on 1 February 2017 when
the arrangements relating to the
allocation of Government subsidised
Home-Care packages will change.
•The removal of the distinction
between high-care (i.e. nursing
home) and low-care (i.e. hostel)
to enable all residential aged care
facilities to charge a refundable
accommodation deposit or rental
equivalent based on the quality of
accommodation offered.
Under the current arrangements,
funding packages are allocated to
Government approved providers
and therefore the number of people
a provider can support is limited by
the number of packages they have
been allocated.
•The requirement for all
residential aged care providers
to publish a description of the
types of accommodation they
offer and associated pricing
on the Government’s My Aged
Care website.
From 1 July 2015:
HomeCare consultation with a client
For the past 3 years the aged care
industry has been on a journey
of reform. Whilst the origins of
the reform process can be traced
back to the inquiry led by the
Productivity Commission and
its subsequent report released
on 28 June 2011 titled Caring
for Older Australians, it was the
implementation of the so called
Living Longer. Living Better (LLLB)
reform package announced by the
then Gillard Government on 20
April 2012 that set the aged care
industry on its current path.
Whilst we have experienced a
change of Government since the
introduction of the LLLB package,
as it is affectionately known, the
reform agenda has had bipartisan
support in terms of its key
24
objectives. These include giving
older Australian’s greater choice
and control over the way they
access aged care services as well
as recognising that, in the face of
a growing ageing demographic,
the aged care industry needs to
be financially sustainable and
operate within a framework that
encourages investment. This is
seen as critically important in order
to support the growth required
to meet future demand.
Since the introduction of the
LLLB package the industry
has experienced a progressive
implementation of a number of
initiatives designed to support
the key objectives noted above.
Here is a brief summary of the
key initiatives that have been
implemented to date.
the creation of central client
records and the provision of
portals for service providers,
assessors and clients.
•The requirement that all
Government funded HomeCare packages be delivered on a
‘Consumer Directed Care’ basis.
This enables persons receiving
home-care packages to have
greater control over the services
they wished to receive and how
the funding is spent.
•The expansion of the My Aged
Care website to become
a ‘gateway’ and act as a
contact centre with increased
functionality, including screening,
25
From 1 February 2017, packages
will be allocated to eligible older
persons. Whilst the funding will
still flow from the Government to
the approved provider, the older
person will be able to choose which
approved provider they wish to
co-ordinate the delivery of the
services they need.
Montefiore supports this budget
initiative as it is an exciting
opportunity to expand our
subsidised HomeCare program
and thereby enable the Home to
provide care and support to all older
members of the community that
wish to access our services.

PHILOSOPHY OF LIVING
CHALLENGING THE TRADITIONAL
AGED CARE MODEL
CELEBRATING 40 RUBY YEARS
OF VOLUNTEERING AT MONTEFIORE
On 11 November 2014 we celebrated
and recognised 40 ruby years of
volunteering at Montefiore.
It was a day we remembered the
Blue and White volunteers who
commenced the Montefiore volunteer
program 40 years ago. Their
vision and dedication provided the
foundation on which we have built our
present robust volunteer program.
Montefiore as a community is indeed
fortunate to understand the true
value of volunteering. Volunteers
have always been and continue to be
the cornerstone of our community.
Hunters Hill residents, Brenda Stoch and Ernest Neumegen participating in craft with Recreational Activity Officer, Lorraine Milward
Throughout the year, the main
topic of discussion within the
aged care industry has been the
ongoing changes to legislation
and in particular the focus on
understanding Consumer Directed
Care (CDC) in residential care.
Subsequently, Montefiore’s
Philosophy of Living (POL) strategy
which is focused on individualised
choice, dignity and wellbeing was a
topic of interest at various national
conferences. Presentations by
Montefiore senior staff prompted
the question, Is person-directed
living really possible in aged care?
This was followed by an introduction
to the Home’s various POL initiatives
that have been put in place since
the start of 2015. Representative
examples included:
•Focus of specific staff assigned
to certain neighborhoods to
create familiarity in support of the
Neighborhood Model of Living.
• Greater partnerships with each
care recipient centered on their
preferences.
•Residents afforded greater
choice with wake-up times
and shower times.
‘WE RECEIVED GREAT FEEDBACK ON OUR POL
STRATEGY FOLLOWING PRESENTATIONS AT
VARIOUS NATIONAL CONFERENCES
THIS YEAR.’
•Catering introducing flexible
breakfast times including a late
sitting. Lunch, dinner and supper
times are also being revised.
•Various Allied Health activities such
as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy
and diversional therapies tailored
later in the day and focus more on
engagement activities.
• Revised medication timings which
required partnership with doctors
and the pharmacy.
•HomeCare providing an expanded
range of accredited meal suppliers
from kosher to gourmet options.
•Expanding the suite of Allied
Health programs to enhance
HomeCare clients’ wellbeing.
•For staff, improved interdisciplinary team (IDT)
involvement, reduced stress levels
coupled with increased confidence.
26
•An Employee Appreciation and
Innovation Award Recognition
Program has been introduced
to reward staff members
who go above and beyond in
demonstrating POL.
Dr Alasdair MacDonald, General
Manager Business Innovation &
Quality stated, “We received great
feedback on our POL strategy
following presentations at various
conferences this year including
the National Leading Age Services
Australia (LASA) Conference
in Melbourne.” Alasdair added,
“Affirmation from our peers
about our CDC strategy is great.
While our approach is still in its
early days, it is making a difference
to drive individualised choice,
dignity and wellbeing for our
care recipients.”
“Montefiore has a proud history of
volunteering. In 1974 we had 20 active
volunteers and now our numbers have
grown to over 500. Our volunteers
are a valuable asset and enable us
to enhance the quality of life of our
ageing residents,” said Ms Hazel Stein,
Volunteer Manager.
We were delighted to have Professor
the Honourable Dame Marie Bashir
AD CVO retired Governor of New
South Wales present the 2014 Spirit
of Volunteering Oration. Professor
Bashir is extremely well known to us at
Montefiore and indeed to the entire
Jewish Community. Throughout her
career Professor Bashir made it her
business to stay connected with her
friends and the community and in
2003 launched the Randwick Home
construction. She has visited the
Home many times since then. Professor

Benefactors, Life Governors,
members and volunteers
generously continue to support our
organisation. Their commitment
and generosity allows our
interdisciplinary teams to continue
to provide excellence in care for
the aged in our community. The
Quality of Life of our care recipients
in their own homes, attending our
day centres and in residential care
is paramount and through this
generosity we are able to provide an
unparalleled standard.
We committed to The Leaf Program
raising funds to ensure that the
exemplary quality of care will be
available in the future to all of us,
our friends and loved ones.
DONATIONS AND
MEMBERSHIPS
Financial and equipment donations
allowed us to provide an enhanced
level of care.
This year we offered couples the
opportunity to become members
each in their own right. This was
extremely well received and
many Montefiore supporters took
advantage of this opportunity.
A cooking class with Damien
Pignolet at the Randwick Campus
was a great success with another
planned in the New Year. It was
wonderful to have the benefit of
Damien’s years of experience in the
industry and his willingness to share
this with the community.
Over the year, several generous
donors furthered their commitment
to Montefiore by purchasing naming
rights in different areas thereby
perpetuating the memory of their
loved ones. Lionel Green, our
valued supporter, named the Olive
Courtyard at Randwick in honour of
his parents.
Generous bequests have played
a major role in establishing and
maintaining the remarkable
facilities we offer to our residents
and we look forward to building
on this generosity in the future.
Our Bequest campaign featured
Montefiore supporters giving
a commitment that they would
consider a bequest in their will.
Once again, Rose and Tom
28
We were also pleased to receive
bequests and donations from our
residents and their families all of
whom acknowledged the care
and support afforded them by our
wonderful staff. Some of these
donations included Dr Victor Bear
who purchased the naming rights
for the Harp Neighbourhood in
memory of his wife Adele Bear; Mr
Frank Grossman who dedicated his
room to his late wife Magda; and
Mrs Elizabeth Grosz who dedicated
a bench she and her mother, Eva
Gross, spent many hours sitting on
together, in honour of her parents.
LIFE GOVERNORS
More supporters were bestowed the
honour of Life Governorship thus
demonstrating commitment to the
Home. Our Junior Life Governor
program continued to be a means of
involving the next generation.
ESTABLISHING AND
FOSTERING KEY INDUSTRY
RELATIONSHIPS
We continue to work closely with
the Centre for Healthy Brain
Ageing following the 2012 launch of
the Montefiore Chair for Healthy
Brain Ageing to undertake critical
research into ageing, to identify
better practice in terms of dementia
care and behavioural management,
and to transfer this knowledge into
practical application.
Three years on, the research has
developed positive outcomes for
the Montefiore’s frail aged and all
those who care for them, including
staff and families. Many areas
of research have been initiated
and Montefiore residents benefit
directly from the findings. We are
privileged to be able to collaborate
with the foremost thinkers in the
world in the field of dementia and
healthy brain ageing and continue to
expand our relationship.
THE MONTEFIORE

Residents and staff continue
to be encouraged to actively
participate in the development of
the Religious, Spiritual and Cultural
Life Program at Montefiore. To
this end a comprehensive program
continues to be developed which
ensures that all aspects of a
resident’s spiritual, cultural and
religious wellbeing is considered
from the time a resident enters
Montefiore until after they leave.

Several new initiatives took place this
year with more planned and underway
for the year ahead. These include:
•A Shabbat gift delivered to
members of the community
currently in hospital. This gift
includes a bottle of grape juice,
a Kiddush cup, Shabbat candles,
a sweet snack and Havdalah spices
together with warm wishes and
prayers that may be said
on Shabbat.
•Identification of individual
spiritual, cultural and religious
needs of the resident.
• Advance Care Directives facilitated
by the Social Work Team enabling
residents to document their end of
life wishes.

the opportunity to revisit childhood
experiences with many of them
reconnecting with religious beliefs
and customs.
• Visual displays and posters placed
around the Home depicting
upcoming festivals.
• Educating new staff about Judaism
with a focus on rituals, traditions,
death and burial.
• Care plans to ensure that spiritual
needs are met in a meaningful and
respectful way.
• Specialised educational programs
to support staff caring for residents
who are Holocaust survivors.
• Religious services, engaging
discussions, visiting Rabbis and
other activities offered taking into
account the different religious
observances of our residents.
• Continued education for all staff
during the year regarding upcoming
festivals and commemorations.
Education sessions include food
and items pertaining to the festival
allowing staff to have insight
into what the residents will be
experiencing.
• Jewish festivals being celebrated
to allow those residents who
are observant to engage in their
religious beliefs as they would if
they were still in their own home.
Festivals allow our secular residents
• Our Spiritual Dean providing an
open door policy for residents and
their families to discuss any issues
and assist in the end of life phase.
• The Religious Department
encouraging families to hold a
memorial prayer service at the
Home so that residents and staff
are able to attend.
• A Remembrance Service held
weekly on all Montefiore sites to
remember those residents who
passed away the previous week.
These non-religious services allow
staff and residents to mourn
residents in a respectful way.
• Giving a family a Wishing You
Long Life kit once a Montefiore
resident has passed away. This
contains a 7 day memorial candle
and comprehensive booklet
explaining what the family are
going through as well as offering
them the necessary prayers to
say at the funeral and afterwards,
and information on bereavement
services available.
From the time of admission, a resident and their family are assisted on a journey of experiences and opportunities to
enable them to feel spiritually, culturally and religiously fulfilled. This supports Montefiore’s Philosophy of Living and
offers choice, dignity and wellbeing to every resident no matter their level of religious observance.

Following on from last year’s
success, our award winning
Nurse Practitioner (NP) program
supported by onsite NPs has
continued to drive the objectives
set out in 2013 to ensure the
delivery of an advanced level of
care for our residents. “Central
to this has been the expanding NP
scope of practice, the collaborative
partnership with our GPs,
specialists and interdisciplinary
team within Montefiore,” stated
Ann Brodie, NP and General
Manager Clinical Services.
With respect to the NP scope
of practice, analysis shows 391
referrals, close to 1000 visits by
our NPs and successful billing
to Medicare for our NP services
across all Montefiore facilities over
the last 12 months. The Reducing
Unplanned Transfer to Hospital
(RUTH) program has avoided 43
hospitalisations through direct
involvement of the NP which has
allowed residents to receive acute
intervention whilst remaining in
the Home. More recently, this has
been further enhanced with the
purchase of a Bladder Scanner and
Propulse Ear Irrigation system.

Additionally, our NP driven
annual influenza and pneumonia
vaccination program reports a
rise in uptake year-on-year for
residents and staff helping to drive
the benefits of herd immunity.
Supporting this has been NP Joanne
Russell’s integral part of Montefiore’s
internal Wound Care and Palliative
Care Working Party and our Clinical
Innovations and Clinical Advisory
Committee. “Her expertise and
contribution positively impact on
resident outcomes through the
adoption of evidence based best
practice and the use of new medical
products such as wound dressings and
medical devices,” added Ann. Joanne
also provides invaluable education
and mentoring to our clinical
teams in the following specialities;
palliation, wound management,
catheterisation, pain management,
care of deteriorating residents and
behavioural management.

Externally, Joanne is a member of
the Agency for Clinical Innovation
Executive Committee of the
Palliative Care Network. Through
this Committee, Joanne was
selected to be interviewed and
filmed on location at Montefiore
for the NSW blueprint for palliative
care. Joanne has also presented
at a number of educational events
including the AusMed Conference
for Oncology Nurses and
conducted educational sessions for
Registered Nurses at the Australian
College of Nursing.
With the continued support both
internally and externally, the NP
Program at Montefiore continues
to grow collaboratively and
enhance clinical services to not
only residents but also to our
staff and GPs.

MONTEFIORE’S PARTNERSHIP WITH
CHEBA
Montefiore ranked highly in all areas
and was found to be one of the
best performing organisations to
have undertaken the assessment.
Professor Chenoweth found many
areas of strength at Montefiore and
was particularly impressed by the
physical environment and the delivery
of care services which allows the
residents to live their life in a familiar
way. Professor Chenoweth said, “It
was a gratifying feeling as you walked
around, you could feel comfort and
warmth.” Professor Chenoweth was
impressed by the way nature was
brought into the Home through the
gardens, so that residents didn’t
feel isolated or contained. She also
found the dominant focus of the care
focused on the Quality of Life of our
residents and noted, ‘just how well
staff at all levels understood they
were here to provide a service,’ adding
‘they worked to a service-driven
model not task-driven.’

In 2012 Montefiore proudly partnered
with the Centre for Healthy Brain
Ageing (CHeBA) to enjoy the benefit
of doing collaborative research. A
new research Chair was established,
the Montefiore Chair of Healthy
Brain Ageing which was taken up
by Australia’s foremost expert on
dementia and Alzheimer’s disease,
Scientia Professor Henry Brodaty
AO. As a result 5 different projects
have evolved with a summary
provided herein.
Our first collaborative research
was Montefiore’s participation in
the Sydney Centenarian Study
by Dr Charlene Levitan, who said
(believed), “We can learn a lot about
ageing by studying the extremes,
especially those who are models of
‘successful ageing’”.
According to research approximatley
30% of longevity is contributed to
by our genes. The remaining 70%
of ingredients relate to our lifestyle.
Montefiore participants in the Sydney
‘ALL OF THE STUDIES AND RESEARCH WE
HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN WITH CHEBA
BUILD WELL ON THE VALUES, MISSION
AND ORGANISATIONAL GOALS OF
MONTEFIORE HOME.’
Centenarian Study confirmed that
reaching an exceptional old age
requires a lifetime of commitment
to good health. While we cannot do
anything about our genes, we can do
a great deal to change our lifestyle to
maintain stability, not use alcohol to
excess, maintain a healthy weight, not
smoke, get adequate sleep and keep
stress at a low level. Having a positive
attitude to life and being optimistic
may make you live longer. A balanced
diet, with plenty of fresh fruit and
vegetables, fish, small amounts of
meat, complex carbohydrates, olive
oil and a small amount of red wine,
may be the key. Finally an active mind
and body, maintained with regular
32
physical, cognitive social activity are
essential ingredients for a long and
healthy life.
Our next major research collaboration
was the research undertaken
by Professor Lynn Chenoweth,
who utilised the Person-Centred
Environment and Care Assessment
Tool (PCECAT), to assess our Home’s
culture, care and recreation services
and the environment against PersonCentred principles. The aim of the
assessment is to determine if the
environment supports the PersonCentred approach to care and
lifestyle and if services offered to our
residents are Person-Centred.
the results are being written up
with very promising outcomes.
HALT (Halting Antipsychotic use
in Long Term care) project. It is
being led by Scientia Professor
Henry Brodaty AO. The purpose
of this study is to reduce the use of
antipsychotic medication in aged care
residents whilst increasing the person
centred care. Previous research has
shown that in some circumstances
use of these types of medications
have been prescribed inappropriately
(Hosia-Randell & Pitkala, 2005:
National Prescribing Service 2013).
Subsequent studies in which we have
participated include:
Dental Management of the Very
Elderly in Aged Care Facilities
Research undertaken by Dr Alan
Deutch to determine whether nurses
can accurately assess the oral health
of residents and create individualised
preventive oral health care plans
within the residents first few weeks
of entry into a nursing home. The
study is a collaboration between
the Montefiore Dental Clinic, the
Dementia Collaborative Research
Centre, CHeBA, Concord Hospital
and Sydney University. Staff
members at Montefiore received
special education and training
related to oral health assessment and
preventative dental maintenance.
Plans involved a range of noninvasive preventative interventions.
Following this study period,
residents’ oral health and salivary
markers will be assessed again to
examine any changes in oral health
status. If the care plans are found to
be effective, another multi-centre
study based on these outcomes will
be run in the future. At this stage

Psychotropics are best used when
there is severe and complex risk
of harm and when symptoms are
psychotic in nature. Psychotropics
have a range of serious side effects
and are associated with a higher rate
of stroke and death for people with
dementia as well as other adverse
effects such as parkinsonism, falls,
constipation, dry mouth, poor oral
health, pneumonia, hospitalisation and
greater cognitive impairment. There
is severe and complex risk of harm
and when symptoms are psychotic
in nature. Montefiore decided to be
a part of this study because we felt
it was important to support quality
use of medicines at our facility and
33
learn more about medication-free
approaches to care. There are 22
residents that meet the strict criteria
and have agreed to take part in the 12
month study.
The other research project is the first
research project that Montefiore
has initiated. It was approved by the
University of NSW Ethics Committee
with the support of Scientia Professor
Henry Brodaty AO, Jacqueline
Wesson B.App.Sc (OT), MA, Sofia
Venuti (Occupational Therapist,
Montefiore Home) and Lee-Fay Low
(Associate Professor, University of
Sydney). Suitably titled; ‘The effect of
an integrated cognitive and sensory
program on residents with dementia
in a residential aged care setting,’
the project explored the effects of
cognitive and sensory interventions
on residents living with dementia in a
high care unit. The program aimed to
identify individual residents’ sensory
and cognitive needs and address them
by providing personalised sensory
diets, tailored activities, exercises and
communication strategies. By doing
this, we aimed to achieve increased
engagement in activities and a
reduction of symptoms of aggression,
agitation and depression. The pilot
study was such a success that it has
been taken to a second pilot study
now also including Lindy Clemson
(Professor, University of Sydney).
The objective of this second pilot
is to explore the program’s effects
on Behavioural and Psychological
Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD)
experienced by residents living in a
nursing home, as well as exploring the
care staff’s experiences and skill and
attitude changes.
All of the studies and research we
have been involved in with CHeBA
build well on the values, mission and
organisational goals of Montefiore
Home. We are fortunate to be
involved and also to have such
dedicated staff who embrace these
projects with passion and care to
improve the quality of life not only for
our residents but for the residential
aged care services sector.

DIGITAL SERVICES
Montefiore is renowned for its focus
on its residents and staff. This was
the approach by the Digital Services
Department when it reviewed
Montefiore’s future digital needs
and built scalability for the future.
It had to allow services to be easy
to use, sustainable, compliant and
stress free for residents, clients,
staff and volunteers whilst building
competitive advantage.
As such 2015 realised the crucial
and largely invisible work of building
a foundation for digital services

The new site showcases Montefiore’s

It keeps customers up to date with
the latest news and events, how to
be involved, renew memberships,
honour a special person with a
donation made in their name,
employment opportunities and
more. It is fresh, interactive and easy
to navigate, and it also offers links
to valuable information such as the
Federal Government’s new gateway,
My Aged Care.
The project was managed through
the Communications Department.
To ensure all of the special points
of interest at Montefiore were
captured; all areas of the Home were
involved in developing this new web
site. The project, a huge undertaking
by Montefiore involving many
months of planning and hard work,
has been hailed a huge success.
For a relatively young area of the organisation HomeCare has reached some major milestones this year. Last year the
noteworthy word was ‘growth’ and while we continued with that theme this year, a number of themes were added to
it. The Living Longer Living Better reforms had an influence but HomeCare also drove forward innovations.
REFORMS
The introduction of Income Tested
Fee reforms meant that clients who
were self-funded were impacted
from July last year. HomeCare Coordinators were able to explain the
effect of the reforms to prospective
clients. The second reform came
at the end of the financial year
and is a further move forward by
Government towards the end goal of
consistent, national aged care with
an easily navigable system through
the My Aged Care Gateway. This
reform will potentially transform how
referrals are received within aged
care. This is still a ‘work in progress’
and we all hope that the Gateway will
function well when teething issues
are resolved.
OCCUPANCY
HomeCare reached its occupancy
target in the year which is a
significant achievement given
that the impact of Income Tested
Fees discouraged a section of the
prospective clients. In addition to
this the Fee for Service business
also grew in the numbers of clients.
This was very pleasing as clients are
offered flexibility in how services
are delivered but we are offering
the flexibility of a Government
subsidised service, fully self-funded
or a mix of both.
WILLINGNESS TO TRY
SOMETHING NEW
A feature of the HomeCare service
is the willingness of staff to say ‘yes’
and this was demonstrated when a
client who has 24/7 care at home
required a dentist. To reduce any
distress HomeCare arranged for the
HomeCare Co-ordinator, Rebecca Saidman and Administrator, Mary Artemis
‘A FEATURE OF THE HOMECARE SERVICE IS
THE WILLINGNESS OF STAFF TO SAY ‘YES’.’
client to have a home visit. Likewise,
another innovation was enabling an
audiologist to do a home visit. These
innovations provide for individual
circumstances. HomeCare has a
wide-range of services and our aim is
to set up as few limits as possible for
our clients.
SATISFIED CLIENTS AND
STAFF
Twice a year we formally survey all
HomeCare clients to gauge whether
clients believe we are providing a
quality service. We ask questions
related to their particular experience
with HomeCare and we are happy to
advise that clients of HomeCare are
extremely satisfied. We are also a
very happy group of staff which was
identified by the staff survey.
35
QUALITY REVIEW
HomeCare undergoes its version of
Government accreditation and this
occurred for the first time in July.
Every standard was compliant and
the HomeCare staff received an
overwhelming vote of confidence
from clients. The assessors stated
that ‘clients were certainly happy
and there was a consistent
knowledge across the service
from Co-ordinators to Care Staff
to clients to contractors.’ A very
pleasing result!
We look forward to further
technological innovations next year
which will translate into significant
benefits to clients.

awarded top marks by the Agency
for meeting the Standards and as
such received full accreditation
for the next 3 years. A common
theme noted by the Agency was
Montefiore’s outstanding staff,
excellent care and dedication
to care recipients both within
residential and home care. The
Agency also complimented the
Home on its robust systems and
unified processes across the
36
business to ensure compliance with
the Standards.
Robert Orie, CEO commented, “I
congratulate staff, residents, families
and volunteers for their pivotal
role in this outstanding outcome
for Montefiore. Being recognised
by the Agency with yet again top
marks clearly demonstrates the
Home’s approach to aged care not
only meets the Standards but also
continues to exceed expectations.”
Robert added, “For our HomeCare
division this was their first time to
undergo accreditation. The result
shows the model we have put in
place for this part of our business
clearly works and meets the growing
demand for the care needs of those
still living at home.”
Next year the Randwick facility
will undergo their mandatory
accreditation and we expect similar
positive results.
‘IT IS A SYSTEM OF LOUD SPEAKERS
CONNECTED TO THE FIRE PANEL AND
LOCATED STRATEGICALLY THROUGHOUT
THE HOME.’
In what has been one of Montefiore’s
largest capital works since the
building of the Randwick campus,
the installation of fire sprinklers into
3 of our Homes was completed in
mid-2015.
Planning commenced even before
the Government introduced new
laws on 1 January 2013. This resulted
in the successful completion of the
project nearly 12 months before the
1st of March 2016 deadline.
Any undertaking that requires many
kilometres of metal pipework and
electrical cabling to be installed
into the ceiling of residents’ rooms,
administration offices and common
areas, requires a high level of
understanding and co-operation
from all those directly affected.
This co-operation and positive spirit
was evident at all campuses from
both the residents who allowed
contractors in their rooms at times
when they could have been enjoying
a television program, to staff who
managed much higher levels of
activities and resident movement
throughout the project.
In the case of the Hunters Hill
campus, the project presented an
opportunity to upgrade various
areas such as the main Hostel Dining
Room, refurbish the Recreation
Room, and refurbish the Hostel and
Monte Gardens corridors with new
37
lighting, carpet and repainting.
As part of the upgrading of our fire
systems at Hunters Hill, we also
installed an Emergency Warning
Intercommunication System (EWIS).
It is a system of loud speakers
connected to the fire panel and
located strategically throughout the
Home. This system allows for the
on-duty campus manager to make
announcements in relation to any
fire alarms or more generally, keep
residents, staff and visitors aware of
any significant event happening in
the Home at that time.
With the installation phase now
complete and each system fully
on-line, the final components
have now finished off with ceilings
being re-instated and painting
work completed.

CATERING
– RAISING THE BAR
CREATIVE THERAPIES
AT MONTEFIORE
The theme for the year was ‘raising
the bar’. In large and small ways,
our team looked to break barriers
in all aspects of service and product
through education, expertise and
innovation. Looking back on the
year, it was wonderful to see what
an impact our efforts have made
on not only the residents, but
the staff as well. An engaged and
professionally developed team of
staff can truly better deliver dignity,
choice and wellbeing.
A few developments from the year
are included below.
After a year of working with
Consultant Chef Damien Pignolet,
we have a lot to celebrate. Our
2 priorities for the first year
were working on improving our
production cooking methods and
creating new recipes for a group
of residents ranging in nationalities
from Australian to Hungarian, to
Russian and South African, just to
name a few.
Creating food for over 700
residents 3 times a day requires
Montefiore utilise production
cooking methods. To overcome
difficulties inherent in the
production methods and in order
to improve the end product in
flavour, tenderness and freshness,
Montefiore applied the cooking
method, ‘sous vide’ where the
food is vacuum sealed and then
brought to temperature in a bath
of hot water and seared just before
serving. The end result is the most
tender of meats.
Chef Damien and Group Executive
Chef Ian made a dynamic team in
their recipe workshops. Ideas for
dishes came from the residents
themselves, as well as rare
cookbooks sourced from across the
globe. Translating these dishes into
production cooking for hundreds
required a lot of tweaking and
testing before the dishes were

served in the Home. Taste testers
ranged from the cooks on the team,
to dining room servers, to residents,
to Directors and our very own CEO.
Earlier in the year a new food
delivery system was also introduced
to Hunters Hill. This food delivery
system was funded in large part,
due to the funds raised at the annual
fete held at Hunters Hill. The
system holds the room service trays
of food for longer periods of time
without damage to the product.
This allows the nursing staff more
time to spend with those residents
who require assistance with their
meals. It also keeps hot food at the
right temperature and cold food
nicely chilled. This has made a big
difference to the dining experience
in residents’ rooms.
Montefiore’s General Manager
of Hotel Services, Susan Vickery
attended the Better Practise
38
Conference in Perth to speak about
the benefits of working with a Chef
Consultant in the month of October
2015. The innovations peaked
much interest with the conference
attendees.
Lastly, our Learning and
Development team worked with
TAFE and the Catering Service
Team managers to create a Fine
Dining training program for the
dining operations teams. The
training was held over 2 days and
delivered in a number of modules.
Montefiore prides itself in creating
a restaurant style of service and
food in our dining rooms. Creating
a sophisticated dining room
experience requires proper service
techniques, and providing training
to our staff gave everyone a base
knowledge to work from and also
gave them confidence.
Hunters Hill resident, Ada Horwitz with Art Therapist, Lea Dalgleish
This past year Montefiore separated
the Creative Therapies Department
from the Diversional Therapies
Department in an effort to provide
increased levels of service to our
care recipients. Creative ageing has
been highlighted as a key initiative for
the future of aged care by Margret
Meagher, Executive Director of
Arts and Health Australia and Jillian
Skinner, News South Wales Minister
for Health at the International
Creative Ageing Conference. They
both point to key benefits that can
include self-discovery, emotional
catharsis and personal fulfilment
as important improvements to a
person’s overall health.
The Creative Therapy Department
highlights Montefiore’s increased
emphasis on choice, dignity, and
wellbeing by partnering with the
Art Gallery of New South Wales to
provide access for our residents to
the highly acclaimed Arts in Dementia
program. This program, originally
pioneered by the Museum of Modern
Art in New York City, provides guided
tours of the gallery for our residents
with increased cognitive needs.
Discussions around the art displayed
in the gallery stimulate and engage
residents in new and exciting ways.
We have also increased the dignity
of participants in our programs
by beginning a series of art shows
in Randwick and Hunters Hill that
showcase the new and developed
artistic talents of our residents.
Moving into a residential care
facility and dealing with end of life
issues can be difficult socially and
emotionally. Creative therapy helps
our residents express emotions and
fears that they cannot express by
conventional means. These therapies
give a voice to that which is beyond
words, yet intrinsically important to
our wellbeing. It can be especially
important for our care recipients
who have decreased cognitive
function due to dementia related

illnesses and are having difficulty
expressing unmet needs.
Montefiore’s formation of the
Creative Therapies Department is
a continuation of its focus on the
choice, dignity and wellbeing of
our care recipients and the future
of aged care. It is another way that
we as an organisation remain on the
forefront of the aged care industry
and continually strive to improve our
service model.

BOARD OF MANAGEMENT
‘iTRAINING IS AN
INNOVATIVE PRODUCT
THAT REVOLUTIONISES
OUR STAFF TRAINING
OFFERINGS’
In an era of smart phones, computers
and an ever increasing techno-savvy
staff cohort, coupled with ongoing
raising costs for staff training,
Montefiore, in 2014, embarked on
transforming its mandatory training
offerings for staff. The outcome
was what Montefiore calls ‘iTraining’,
an internally developed eLearning
product to replace the current staff
mandatory training requirements.
Mandatory training covers 4 main
topics: Fire and other Emergencies,
Infection Control, Work, Health &
Safety (WHS) and Prevention of
Elder Abuse with all staff required
to complete annually. Traditionally
this training has been conducted
in the Home’s training rooms in a
classroom setting and requires a full
day (8 hours) to complete.
Using iTraining, and since the start
of 2015, all mandatory training can
now be completed by staff on a
computer in less time and in their
own time causing less disruption
to staffing rosters. Any practical
components to mandatory training
such as the use of a fire extinguisher
is still required by all staff and

Our Life Governors and Members, currently more than 2000 in number - share our commitment
to enhancing the Quality of Life of the aged in our community. Their interest, support and
dedication to the Home are greatly valued by the residents, the Board of Management and staff of
the Home.
These lists represent a cross section of the Jewish community and are, in the words of former NSW Governor
Gordon Samuels, ‘tangible evidence of the fact that the Home occupies a special place in the hearts of the Jewish
people of this city and state.’
Membership of the Home extends a range of benefits to those who subscribe each year. Members receive our
newsletters, Annual Report and other publications. Financial members are invited to special events and briefings and
are eligible to vote at our Annual General Meetings or be nominated for election to the Board. Membership of the
Home also carries automatic membership of our Cyril Rosenbaum Synagogue or Montefiore’s Randwick Synagogue.
We welcome new Life Governors as well as others who advanced to the next level of Life Governorship in the period
under review, continuing a tradition of commitment and support that began even before the Home’s first premises
were built. Life Governors are honoured in perpetuity, in addition to being accorded all the benefits of membership.
If you are interested in becoming a Life Governor or Member, please call Esther Wakerman, Community Relations
Manager on 02 8345 9110.

Your support will enable Montefiore to continue providing an exceptional standard of service and
care, while embracing the richness of Jewish culture and tradition.
Montefiore is a unique organisation
proudly offering the full continuum
of care from HomeCare to day
centres to residential care. The
generosity of our Life Governors
enables us to provide the highest
level of care for our elderly
regardless of their financial situation.
More than 30% of our 740 residents
are financially disadvantaged
and unable to cover all or part of
their cost of care. This results in
a significant funding shortfall per
resident per year.

In addition, close to 40% of our
residents are Holocaust survivors
with unique care needs. To best
support our residents and their
families we have developed an
integrated training and care
program for our staff which equips
them with the necessary skills to
address these needs.
As a community, we are faced with
a dramatic increase in an ageing
population and a significant rise in
the incidence of dementia. Within
the Jewish community there are 5
new cases of dementia diagnosed
every week. Demographic evidence
shows that the number of aged
people requiring our care will double
over the next 10 to 20 years.
Montefiore’s residential campuses
are currently operating at full
capacity and have growing waiting
lists. Your support will help us
fulfil the future demands of
our community for specialised
accommodation and care.
