PHILANTHROPY REPORT 2015

The Cedars Philanthropy Report 2015.indd 1 6/17/15 11:28 AM

The role that The Cedars has played in greater Portland’s senior health care for the past nine decades has never been more important. We have been recognized as the preferred provider of living options and services to seniors in greater Portland. We have accomplished this by responding to community needs and advances in our field, and balancing social and economic objectives. This has made it possible for us to maintain and enhance

our quality of service and fiscal health, and attract, retain and develop relationships with stakeholders committed to our mission.

As one of the earliest proponents for the patient-directed care model in New England, The Cedars provides housing and integrated, seamless health care, while empowering seniors to make choices about how they want to live and receive care. Our full continuum of senior living services includes independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation, skilled nursing care, and community-based services. Today, we are not only one of the largest independent, nonprofit senior living communities in northern New

England; we are widely recognized as among the best and most innovative.

Our commitment to innovation and quality has been enhanced by the development of key partnerships throughout the acute care community. These partnerships ensure that older patients receive appropriate care from the best resources. Through collaboration among our care teams, community partners, families, and seniors, we have been demonstrating how delivering the right mix of services, at the right time, can promote healthy aging.

By 2030, more than one quarter of Maine’s population will be age 65 or older. As we prepare for this “silver tsunami”, the need to collaborate with other organizations through new partnerships and networks will grow. We believe the steps we are taking now to prepare for this momentous change in demand for eldercare services will put us in the lead to address these most critical issues affecting Maine and the country. For us to succeed in expanding possibilities for aging, our efforts must encompass many areas including leadership, advocacy, philanthropy, innovation, imagination, credibility, and a drive for continued excellence.

The Cedars offers state-of-the art healthcare with cutting edge services and technology, and a compassionate, highly trained staff. Our long history of success gives us the experience necessary to positively impact how seniors age now and in the future. We look forward to working with our many partners in the health care and educational community, volunteer leadership, and our donors to offer innovative health care for seniors today and tomorrow.

Our donors are an extremely important component of our success. With every gift, you are making life better for our seniors. Thank you to each individual, company and foundation listed on these pages. Your donations are helping to redefine the experience of aging and we are very proud and grateful to recognize our donors.

A Gift Made in GratitudeHenni Polak (1920 - 2015)

Henni Polak was an exceptional woman who

lived her life fully. In 2000, she became one of the

pioneer members of The Atrium, then a brand-new

independent living community at The Cedars. Henni’s

fifteen years here were a very exciting and active

time in her life. She enjoyed swimming and numerous

enrichment activities, and was an enthusiastic,

engaged member of our community.

Henni was born in Mannheim, Germany and her childhood in Germany was

made very difficult by the rise of the Nazis. One of her first experiences with

anti -Semitism was when one of her school teachers instructed the class on

the racial inferiority of Jews. She contradicted him with the bravery that was a

hallmark of her life, forcefully refuting the aspersions before the entire class.

In 1940, Henni and her mother, along with all the Jews in the upper Rhine area,

were deported to the Gurs Concentration Camp in in the French Pyrenees. She

got out of Gurs with the help of Abbé Alexandre Glasberg, a Catholic priest

who was born Jewish. Her freedom was short-lived. She was re-arrested by

French authorities and placed in another concentration camp, Les Milles, near

Marseilles. Her mother, left behind in Gurs, was eventually transported to her

death in Auschwitz. Henni escaped Les Milles by climbing over the barbed wire

with a mattress. All those remaining behind were eventually sent to Auschwitz.

Henni survived the rest of WWII in France with the help of Arthur Schneirer,

the father of her eldest son, Raymond, and with false identity papers given to

her by the French Resistance. Arthur died in 1945. After the war ended, Henni

went to Paris where she met and married Bernard Polak, her husband of many

years, and had a second son, Marcel.

She and her family immigrated to New York in 1953, settling in Brooklyn

and then the Rockaways in Queens. Like many immigrants, she worked in

a garment factory sewing labels into sweaters. But education was critically

important to Henni, and by earning her high school equivalency diploma she

was able to get a clerical job in an insurance company.

“Her years at The Atrium were some of the happiest of her life,” explains her

son Marcel Polak. When Henni died on April 5, 2015 at the age of 94, she and

family gave a bequest to The Cedars in appreciation for those happy years.

Giving Maine Seniors a Voice

The White House

Conference on Aging

(WHCOA) convened a

series of invitation-only

regional forums to engage

with seniors, families,

caregivers and leaders

on key issues affecting

older Americans. When it

comes to issues affecting

seniors in the Northeast,

The Cedars is always part

of the conversation.

Kathryn Callnan, President

and CEO, brought her keen

insight, experience and

passion for senior issues

to the Boston Forum this

spring to help shape the

agenda of the national

conference in Washington,

DC scheduled for later

this year.

The WHCOA has been

held once a decade since

1961, and charts the

course of the debate on

aging policy in Congress

for the coming decade.

The Gift of Award-Winning Leadership

Leading Age Maine and

New Hampshire singled

out a dynamic leader at

The Cedars this spring,

when Angela Hunt,

Chief Operating Officer,

received the Excellence in

Leadership Award.

Angie earned this honor

through her celebrated

work and unwavering

commitment to our

seniors, our staff and our

nonprofit community.

In her 15 years at

The Cedars, she has

developed innovative

programs, forged new

partnerships, advocated

for seniors in Augusta,

and established an all-

inclusive, extraordinary

work culture at The

Cedars that inspires our

direct care staff.

Giving a New Perspective on 90

What’s so different

about being ninety? Ask

nonagenarians at The

Cedars, and they openly

share the life changes

this milestone creates.

Many responsibilities

are now behind them,

and new priorities and

interests have opened

up. “Celebrating Nine

Decades” at The Cedars

convenes members over

age 90 every Monday to

share their thoughts.

The vibrancy of this group

has generated a lot of

excitement (and even a

bit of envy) from those in

their 70s and 80s! That’s

what life at The Cedars

can do: change the very

way Maine seniors look

at aging, and embrace

all it can offer in wisdom,

wellness and joy. * of blessed memory

Isn’t it amazing

how one song can

immediately take you

back to a specific

place or time in your

past? Do you ever turn

on a favorite song to

change your mood?

Even for seniors

living with dementia, music remains a powerful portal

between the past and the present. Familiar melodies

help find lost memories, calm agitation and aggression,

and connect patients to the here and now.

Over 37,000 Mainers are living with dementia, and

that number is expected to nearly double in the next

five years. That’s why The Cedars is leading the way

in developing effective and innovative programming

for seniors with dementia. This year, we became the

first skilled nursing center in Maine to implement the

national Music and Memory program.

Nick Viti, Life Enrichment Director at The Cedars, can

unleash the magic of music on a moment’s notice.

Working with patients and family members, Nick

creates custom playlists for a library of iPods that are

available whenever a patient needs them.

“One patient would call out for her father, who passed

away many years ago. She told us he had a lovely

baritone singing voice, so now, when she calls for him,

we play songs he used to sing by vocalists that sound

like he did,” Nick explains. “We turn her anxiety about his

absence into happy reminiscing through music.”

Want a closer look at how your generosity enhances

the lives of seniors? See Patty Wight’s story on

The Cedars Music and Memory program on MPBN at

http://news.mpbn.net/term/music-and-memory

The Gift of Music is the Gift of Memory A Call to Give

Since 1996, The

Cedars Auxiliary’s

Annual Phonathon has

raised over $175,000

for essential medical

equipment and lifestyle

enhancements for our

seniors in skilled care.

The 2014 Phonathon

raised $15,000 from

102 generous donors

to purchase a Philips

wireless call system,

which eliminates

institutional call bell noise,

increases response time,

helps with fall prevention.

In 2015, 103 donors

contributed $15,000

to fund equipment

purchases and training

for a new program called

“Opening Minds through

Music and Art,” to begin

a new art program and

further enhance our Music

and Memory program

(see sidebar at left).

Gifts to The Cedars Auxiliary May 1, 2014 - April 30, 2015 A Long Life and a Lasting LegacyMyer Marcus (1915—2015)

June 23, 2014 was a very special day—the day Myer Marcus celebrated his 100th

birthday. Myer prided himself on his health. Each time he went for a check-up he

happily reported, “my doctor tells me I’m in great shape for my age. There is nothing

wrong with me.” At the age of 90, when Myer moved to independent living at The

Atrium at The Cedars, he was still a practicing attorney. In fact, when he retired at

age 92, he was the oldest practicing attorney in Maine (and he often lamented that he

retired too young). He credited “hanging out with young people” for his longevity and

good health.

Myer Marcus and his family have a long history with The Cedars, dating all the way back to the beginning of

our organization. Myer’s mother was part of the original Auxiliary, the group of women who collected nickels to

build the Jewish Home for Aged which opened in 1929. In 1991 The Jewish Home for Aged moved to its new

location and became The Cedars. Myer continued in his mother’s path, and had a long life with The Cedars. He

was a dedicated board member who unselfishly gave his time, treasure and talent during his 25-year term as a

trustee and later an emeritus trustee. He always came to board meetings well prepared and was very adept at

reading financial statements.

He had an unwavering dedication to helping to make The Cedars the best that it could be. He was pleased

to see all of the progress and changes that the organization that his mother had helped to build had gone

through. For instance, he enjoyed watching the construction of The Osher Inn and was excited when it opened.

During the time that Myer’s wife, Fran, was a resident in long-term care at the Hoffman Center at The Cedars,

Myer became part of The Cedars family. When he visited Fran, he made his rounds visiting the staff and other

residents. Kathy Callnan, President and CEO of The Cedars, has wonderful memories of visiting on the patio

with Myer; Fran; their children, Joanie, Paul, and Don; and his many grandchildren.

After his wife’s death, Myer came to live at The Atrium. He was very proud of his new home and the long

history of the organization, and he often invited his friends to visit so that he could show off The Cedars. His

enjoyment of walking and meeting people continued until the end of his life. He was well-known for his wit and

intelligence throughout all three buildings of The Cedars community and was frequently heard to ask, “Is there

anything new happening?” Myer loved to share stories of growing up in Portland, his service in Army Air Corps

during WWII, and his time at Bowdoin College.

Myer was a man of all seasons at The Cedars: a trustee, family member, resident and donor. As a reflection of

his pride and commitment to our organization, when Myer died on March 2, 2015 at the age of 100, he left a

bequest to The Cedars.

The Cedars Volunteer

of the Year 2014 is

front desk receptionist

Jim Bickford. He has

entertained our residents

with weekly sing-a-longs

at the piano for eight

years.

A retired school teacher,

Jim began this effort

playing for a relative in

The Skilled Care Center.

He drew a crowd from

the first notes. When

his beloved family

member passed, the

music became a tribute

to his memory—and a

Wednesday tradition.

Today, residents get their

hair done before “Piano

with Jim,” and choose

just the right outfits. It’s

always a full house, a

scene of singing, laughter,

tears and gratitude.

A Gift of Time and Talent
