OUR MISSION To model Jesus’ love by creating life-enhancing relationships, services, and environments.

Let’s talk tech— So…have you heard of Artificial Intelligence or AI? Of course you have.

It’s everywhere these days! We’re all using it in some way or another—even if we don’t always realize it.

With how fast technology changes— seemingly by the minute—we can’t afford to just sit back and hope our systems magically keep up. That’s why, over the past few years, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes here at Cedar Community to update and upgrade our technology game.

Now, you might not see these changes like you would see fresh carpet or a new coat of paint, but trust us—they’re just as important. These updates are crucial for communication, clinical quality, resident safety, and overall efficiency. Plus, we’ve unlocked something that’s a total game changer: data analytics. Having accurate data from efficient software systems helps us to make informed, data-driven decisions across the board!

Our previous systems were adequate, but none of the programs could really talk to each other in an effective or efficient way. As a result, our team members often had to work around cumbersome processes and deal with redundancies, and our leadership teams didn’t always have the data or insights needed to guide long-term planning. So, while it takes time and a significant investment, when it comes to updating IT systems, it is no longer optional—it’s essential.

As we looked to update our systems, we talked about our goals for improvement in care and service coordination as well as in helping to increase efficiency for our team members. So, what have we done?

—Cedar Community’s digital makeover Electronic Medical Records (EMR): Point Click Care

Sales and Marketing: WelcomeHome

Think of this as the heart of our clinical operations.

EMRs have come a long way—they’re smart, connected, and very helpful for coordinating care. Our new system gives our nursing teams real-time access to resident health information and supports evidence-based clinical decision-making. Bottom line? Fewer errors, smoother workflows, and better patient outcomes. Plus, we can now track important clinical metrics (like falls or hospital readmissions) and use that data to personalize care in assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

For our sales and marketing teams—data and efficiency are essential as they communicate with prospective residents by phone, email, and text. (In just one year they logged over 10,500 phone calls and emails!!) Keeping track of each prospective resident’s preferences, needs, and schedule is a challenge now made easier with this new system. Also, in collaboration with our marketing team, we now can capture data about how and where people hear about us, which informs where and how we spend our marketing dollars.

Nurse Call Systems: R-Care

Resident Engagement: ICON (COMING SOON!)

Our upgraded nurse call system is rolling out across all clinical areas by the end of 2025, making it the first time we’ve had one consistent system campus wide. The new system lets us see data such as response times and call volumes so we can spot patterns, cut down on delays, and keep residents safer and happier.

It’s not just about operations—we’ve also enhanced the resident experience. Our updated engagement platform will help increase resident participation and satisfaction—which means we can tailor activities and programs to fit what residents actually want. It will also increase efficiency in how we communicate to our residents across text, phone, email, and a smartphone app. It’s all about improving quality of life, increasing communications, and creating meaningful connections.

Financial Reporting: Sage Intacct Okay, spreadsheets still have a place in our hearts (for some of us, anyway), but we needed something more powerful. Our new financial system integrates with our EMR, improves data accuracy, gives us clearer insights, and helps us stay compliant. It’s also a major upgrade for budgeting and forecasting—giving our budget leaders the tools they need to plan ahead and make smart financial decisions.

HR Systems: Smartlinx and Lattice

…And that’s not all We didn’t stop at software. We are also upgrading safety and security systems across our campuses—everything from new fire alarms and generators to modern door access and phone systems. It’s a long list, but every piece plays a part in making Cedar Community a better, safer place to live and work.

We’re also stepping up our game in human resources.

These new systems handle team scheduling, training, credentialing, and performance tracking—all in one place. With this information, we can monitor staffing levels, turnover, and compliance to better support our team members, reduce costs, and create a more engaged workforce.

Technology transformation isn’t always quick or easy. It takes time, patience, and a lot of teamwork. But the results speak for themselves. By investing in smarter systems—from EMRs to HR platforms—we’re now able to make datainformed decisions that support continuous improvement. At the end of the day, this isn’t just about tech. It’s about equipping and empowering our team members, improving resident care, and building a stronger future for our mission of creating life-enhancing relationships, services, and environments.

SUMMER 2025 | 05

From the editor’s desk Summertime has arrived at Cedar Community! Happy day! Not only is this evidenced in the lush canopy of trees and flora and fauna covering our campus, but it’s also in the flurry of recreational activity outside. What a joy it is to see residents and their families, team members, and volunteers drawn outdoors to enjoy God’s gift of nature and sunshine!

Whether our neighbors are enjoying the fleet of watercraft, recreational vehicles, lawn games, or simply some quiet time in one of our many garden spaces—we hope you will visit soon to see for yourself.

Cedar Community is truly a special place, and it is made even more special by the extraordinary people who live, work, visit, and volunteer here! A few examples: • To find love once in a lifetime is a gift. To find it twice—truly a blessing! Read more about our new neighbors, Kent and Mary Jo, who recently moved into Cedar Community’s new independent living residences, The Lofts at Cedar Lake. To feel accepted and “like you belong” at Cedar Community has been the biggest blessing.

We agree, Mary Jo. Welcome home!

Sarah J. Malchow, CFRE Chief Administrative Officer

LEADING THROUGH STEWARDSHIP

by guest author: Jen Sodo, AIA, LEED AP BD+C

“The greenest building is the one that is already built.”

In brainstorming for our presentation at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting, Nicole Pretre, Rhiannon Jacobsen, and I reflected on this often-quoted maxim attributed to architect Carl Elefante in the National Trust’s Forum Journal. While renovation and adaptive reuse are not always the most practical or financially feasible solutions for senior living providers, this quote speaks to the importance of embodied energy in our built environment. New buildings can be designed to be significantly more efficient than old structures, but it can take several decades for that efficiency to offset the environmental impact of extracting, manufacturing, and transporting new materials for a new project.

Embodied carbon: A crash course The environmental value of renovating and repositioning existing buildings is tied to the concept of embodied carbon.

Embodied carbon is the greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction, manufacturing, transportation, installation, and maintenance of building materials. Since buildings are responsible for almost 40 percent of global CO2 emissions, the decision to reinvest in existing assets rather than demolishing and building new ones can have a major impact on muchneeded decarbonization efforts as development continues to keep up with population demands.

While there are practical limits to the ability to renovate, the value proposition of many nonprofit senior living campuses is the natural beauty, history, and legacy of their existing campuses. Reinvesting in existing buildings to serve a new population of older adults and those who care for them allows more people to benefit from this rich history and context.

Stewardship: The sustainability superpower Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA) recently worked with the team at Cedar Community, to reinvest in their decades-old buildings, tapping into the sustainability superpower of nonprofit senior living campuses: stewarding long-held resources. In their Cedar Lake Campus repositioning, Cedar Community extended the useful life of many of their buildings while minimizing the need for extensive new construction to serve their changing population.

In any building project, our team has found that discussing sustainability through the lenses of stewardship of people, place, and resources helps frame sustainable design as necessary and accessible rather than costly and challenging. As an added benefit, we can ensure that our sustainability goals and strategies reinforce an organization’s overall mission and values while setting them up for longterm success.

An aerial view of the Cedar Community Cedar Lake Campus following the repositioning project.

Case study: Cedar Lake Campus Cedar Community embarked on their Cedar Lake Campus transformation with clear sustainability goals in mind:  Reinvest in the existing health center, providing a more cohesive flow.  Create a new exterior aesthetic to complement the natural setting.  Increase and diversify independent living and independent living-plus options while reducing the skilled nursing bed count.  Enhance existing resident and team amenities and experience.

By establishing these goals at the start of the project, Cedar Community and EUA could work together to explore—and, more importantly, prioritize—possible strategies. As construction prices continue to rise, understanding which strategies serve multiple goals or will have the greatest impact on building users can help organizations make the most of their budget. Understanding what work can be done later with minimal disruption to resident experience and team operations can help prioritize and defer improvements. For example, replacing windows one-for-one is often simpler and less disruptive than improving the HVAC system.

10 | SUMMER 2025

Cedar Community also understood the importance of creating a strong first impression, especially when renovating a building that looks institutional. EUA worked with the client to design new gabled and flat-roof forms of a deep amber hue to brighten and break up the Cream City brick and institutional facade, both at entry points and strategically around the apartment sections. These new elements fit better with the beautiful natural settings and increase resident and team member pride in the campus.

“The greenest building is the one that is already built.”

Ultimately, to achieve the project goals, the Cedar Lake Campus project included a mix of new construction, full repositioning, light renovating, and simple finish upgrades. Once complete, EUA performed a high-level life-cycle analysis of the project to demonstrate their embodied carbon story.

The existing building comprises 41.6 million kgCO2e (kg of CO2 equivalent, or global warming potential); the new work represented five million kgCO2e. In this project, Cedar Community preserved 36.6 million kgCO2e, which is equivalent to: • Powering 4,782 homes for one year, or • Charging 2.5 billion smartphones, or • Preserving 235 acres of land.

Finding your sustainability approach In planning how to address the rapidly growing population of older adults, organizations must take stock of their existing resources to determine whether renovating, repositioning, or building new makes the most sense for them. For existing building owners, creating and maintaining a strong capital improvements plan is crucial in this context, as deferred maintenance can complicate what would’ve otherwise been a straightforward renovation. Given the long-term ownership and operations of buildings in the nonprofit senior living sector, investing in existing resources can be a strong strategy for organizational success.

In new construction projects, organizations can make decisions today that will help with future stewardship efforts.

For example, improved exterior envelope assemblies and HVAC systems may have a higher initial cost, but the long-term operations savings may indicate that spending the money now will help save resources in five to ten years that can be allocated to other endeavors. Additionally, organizations can build flexibility into their planning, making decisions about structural systems and the building’s layout that could facilitate future renovations for a new population or use.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to sustainability.

Adding the consideration of embodied carbon into the conversation simply helps reframe the discussions about how to best create a healthier, lasting environment and a bright future for your organization. When framed as stewardship, it becomes clear that sustainable design cannot be considered a project add-on; it is foundational to every project.

New exterior forms create a distinctive, contemporary first impression at building entrances.

One Sunday after church, Deanna Borns overheard fellow church member Kathy Balser talking about a stained-glass piece she was working on. Kathy, who lives in the independent living homes at Cedar Community, has enjoyed learning the skill in the stained-glass studio at the Cedar Ridge Campus. Deanna didn’t want to interrupt, so she gave her number to Jerry, Kathy’s husband, and said, “I have a lot of stained glass I want to get rid of.”

Deanna’s husband, Lonny, who passed away almost five years ago, enjoyed the hobby and even had a stained-glass studio in their basement. She was also no stranger to Cedar Community and the wonderful people who live there, including several friends she joins to play Bridge.

Kathy reached out to Deanna, thankful to hear the news of the intended donation. Kathy and Jerry, along with Cedar Community neighbors Keith Ruesch and Dave Braby, loaded several vehicles with glass and equipment.

There was one piece that Lonny had not finished before he passed—a pheasant. Kathy reached out to Bill Hansen, another independent living resident who is very active in the stained-glass studio. Bill agreed to finish the piece alongside Kathy, who meticulously cleaned it since it had been sitting in a basement for almost five years.

“What they did was absolutely priceless. It means everything to me. Ironically, it was his last piece because we spent so much time in South Dakota,” says Deanna.

Thanks to Deanna’s generous donation, those enjoying the stained-glass studio now have an extensive collection of glass to utilize, along with additional equipment. While residents enjoy creating their pieces, they also sell items in the gift shops to raise money for more studio supplies.

“To receive a donation like this means a lot. It is not an inexpensive hobby, and with Deanna’s generosity, we have enough solder for a year,” says Bill.

Thank you, Deanna, for your thoughtful and generous gift! And thank you, Kathy and Bill, for completing Lonny’s final piece for Deanna to enjoy.

TIME, TALENTS, TREASURES

“With a heart for service, a true compassion for our friends and neighbors, and a desire to support her team members—Bonnie is a true blessing to Cedar Community.

Her knowledge of our history, her connection to our residents, and her support for our legion of volunteers is unmatched,” expressed Sarah Malchow, chief administrative officer. “It is an honor to support and celebrate her and all of our volunteers in this vital work.

Thank you, Bonnie!”

LEADING WITH PURPOSE The impact of a volunteer leader

Nonprofit organizations—especially senior living communities—often rely on volunteers to help bridge the gap of time and talent between team members and residents. At Cedar Community, our dedicated group of over 300 volunteers is the heart of our community. At the center of it all is Volunteer Coordinator Bonnie Amerling. She pours her heart and soul into everything she does. She empowers volunteers not only to give of their time but to share their talents and compassion—making a lasting difference in the lives of our residents.

Bonnie began her career at Cedar Community 40 years ago as a licensed practical nurse. She worked evening shifts, allowing her to balance work with raising her four children—one of whom sadly passed away. After three years in nursing, she felt she needed to make a change. She joined the life enrichment team, where she spent about five years organizing and leading activities for the residents before moving into her current role as volunteer coordinator.

From the early days of working primarily with women’s guilds and church groups, Bonnie has led the charge of expanding the volunteer program.

Today, she collaborates with individual volunteers, civic and school groups, clubs, and even business partners. With over 300 volunteers, Bonnie personally welcomes and interviews each new volunteer, helping them find the right fit based on their interests and skills. Many volunteers bring unique talents, inspiring new programs and activities like maple syruping and book clubs.

To stay connected and grow professionally as a volunteer leader, Bonnie is an active member of the Volunteers of Washington County and the Wisconsin Volunteer Coordinators Association of Wisconsin, where she serves on the board. “These organizations provide opportunities to bounce ideas off one another and learn from each other—what works and what doesn’t,” says Bonnie.

Her responsibilities go far beyond coordinating volunteers for life enrichment activities. Bonnie also manages scheduling, training, and coordination of our fleet of recreational vehicles—including pontoon boats and golf carts. This is no small feat for a community that prides itself on lake access, trails, and prairies that residents and their families enjoy.

Cedar Community is also home to Cedar Treasures, a resale shop for home goods, and the Cedar Closet, a clothing resale shop—both of which Bonnie oversees.

The funds generated from these operations support resident-funded activities throughout the year.

She also manages operations at Heritage House— our benefactor’s preserved home—and Ye Olde School, an original one-room schoolhouse. Located on the Cedar Community Cedar Lake Campus, these historic buildings celebrate Cedar Community’s 70+-year history and often host public events. Keep an eye on our website calendar, cedarcommunity.org, for upcoming events.

Bonnie also oversees the gift shops and markets at the Cedar Lake and Cedar Ridge Campuses, offering grocery items and handcrafted gift items created by resident artisans—including woodworking, stained glass, ceramics, knitted goods, and more.

If that isn’t enough, Bonnie also partners with local schools and colleges, providing students with volunteer opportunities that often fulfill graduation requirements while building meaningful intergenerational connections with residents.

Bonnie considers Cedar Community her extended family. All three of her children have worked at Cedar Community at one point in their lives, and she believes those experiences have shaped their values and strong work ethic. With 40 years of service, Bonnie leads by example. She is deeply grateful for her Cedar Community family, who has stood by her through life’s joys and challenges.

A SECOND CHANCE: When paths cross again SUMMER 2025 | 23

The backstory You never know what kind of journey life will take you on, and that couldn’t be more true for Kent Scheuerell and Mary Jo Norgel. Kent was a recent college graduate and new social studies teacher at Highland High School in Highland, Wisconsin, and Mary Jo was a high school junior in one of his classes. Kent spent two years teaching high school and then spent the next 38 years teaching sixth grade at Platteville Middle School. He was married for 52 years and lost his wife to complications from Alzheimer’s. Together, they raised four children.

Mary Jo was a licensed practical nurse. She met her husband, an industrial arts teacher, through a coworker. When she was 48, he was diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer.

He was given less than two years to live, but defied the odds and survived for five more years. Mary Jo has three children, including one with special needs. Her life has always revolved around caregiving—from her work as an LPN to caring for her husband at home during his battle with cancer to raising a child who required extra support. She and her husband were married for 29 years when he passed away at age 61. Mary Jo was just 53 at the time.

Mary Jo has always been someone who puts others first.

While raising her daughter, she fiercely advocated for her needs, working tirelessly to ensure she received the education and services necessary for success. She became a trailblazer for other parents navigating similar paths. Her life has been full of long days and sleepless nights devoted to others’ wellbeing.

Reconnecting many years later Mary Jo’s younger sister—who was also a student of Kent’s—saw a television story featuring him participating in an Alzheimer’s walk. Mary Jo was empathetic and reached out to offer support. She laughs as she remembers saying, “I just want you to know the struggle is hard, and I hope you are well. And I’m sorry if I was ever mean to you in high school.”

After Kent’s wife passed, they stayed connected. They talked about the challenges Mary Jo faced with her daughter and the shared grief of losing a spouse. What began as a casual reconnection quickly became a supportive friendship. “It was really like our own little support group for each other,” says Mary Jo. Eventually, Kent decided he needed to see Mary Jo in person since all their communication had been over the phone and through email. “I decided I needed to go see her, so I drove from my home in Platteville and showed up on her doorstep in West Bend,” says Kent. It had been nearly 50 years since they’d last seen each other. They even attended the Highland High School class reunion together. “While only a few people knew we were together, most probably thought I was just a teacher attending,” Kent laughs.

24 | SUMMER 2025

With an age difference of only six years, the deepening relationship felt natural. “I think we both knew we were together, but it’s just different to love when you’re older,” says Mary Jo. “You’re more broad-minded. When you’re younger, you think you know what you want, but you really don’t. Then you meet this man later in life who is kind and wants to listen to me.”

Kent’s family was very supportive of the relationship. They told him he had been an exceptional caretaker to his wife, but that it was time for him to move forward with his life. Mary Jo’s husband had passed away in 2007, and her children were thrilled to see her happy again. Kent made the drive back and forth to West Bend for two years until they decided to buy a condo together.

A new chapter Caring for others had always defined Mary Jo’s life, leaving little time for herself. That’s one reason she began volunteering in Cedar Community’s memory care program. “I needed to do something where I could just be Mary Jo, even if it was only for a short time,” she says.

Years earlier, she had visited Cedar Community’s independent living apartments at the Cedar Ridge Campus but knew it wouldn’t be a good fit with her daughter’s needs. However, when a new state-supported program became available, Mary Jo embraced the opportunity. Today, she manages a team of 12 caretakers who provide 24/7 care for her daughter, and she visits every day. Before she had help, she managed every aspect of her daughter’s care on her own. “Having taken care of people most of my life, I felt like I had lost my identity,” says Mary Jo. Now, she could finally consider moving into a retirement community. She and Kent toured the Cedar Ridge Campus and put their names on the wait list. Several times their names came up, but they weren’t quite ready to take the leap. Then they heard about The Lofts at Cedar Lake, which were under construction. The small number of residences—only 15—and the peaceful atmosphere drew them in. On one visit, Kent went alone and discovered the miles of trails on the Cedar Lake Campus. He returned home and said, “I want to move there.”

Rediscovering joy Mary Jo is now looking forward to quiet time, curling up with a book in the library, and rediscovering who she is. “I feel like I’m getting to be me again, and it feels good. This is the healthiest I’ve felt, and I’m sleeping through the night,” she says.

“You feel accepted here—like you belong,” Mary Jo adds. “We’ve just met so many new people, but it feels like we’ve known them a long time. I want to have fun and do the things I’ve never been able to do. I feel calmer here. I have time to reflect, to sit down and enjoy things. I haven’t done that my whole life. If God is good enough to give me 10 years with somebody who’s kind and wants me to be happy—what more could anyone want?”

“It’s like a second chance you don’t think you’re going to have,” says Kent.

Kent looks forward to continuing his hobby of amateur radio, talking to people in over 200 countries around the world and using Morse code. He’s also excited to join the walking and birding groups.

Both Kent and Mary Jo are active in their church, and Mary Jo plans to start actively volunteering again.

When summer rolls around, people want to spend more time outdoors. Living at Cedar Community offers residents the beauty of nature, with over 535 acres nestled in the heart of the Kettle Moraine—245 of these acres located on Big Cedar Lake. When enjoying nature during the summer— whether it’s a stroll along the miles of trails throughout Cedar Community, meandering through the prairie, cruising the lake by boat or kayak, or playing Kubb or bags at the beach house—it’s important to protect yourself not only from the sun but from bug bites as well.

FUN IN THE SUN Summer wellness tips

SUMMER 2025 | 19

Sun safety and prescription medications For those taking certain prescription medications, the sun can pose some unexpected risks. Some medications, like those listed below, can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, increasing the chance of sunburns or skin reactions.  Antibiotics: Doxycycline, tetracycline, fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin).  Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Naproxen, piroxicam, ketoprofen.  Diuretics: Hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide  Antifungals: Voriconazole

Avoiding insect bites

 Cardiovascular drugs: Amiodarone  Psychotropic drugs: Chlorpromazine, thioridazine  Cancer therapies: Vemurafenib

 Choose the right insect repellent based on your location (woods, lake, etc.), the bugs you are dealing with (mosquitoes vs. ticks), how long you will be outside, and your skin sensitivity.  DEET products are the best for longer outdoor exposure to mosquito and tick environments.  Products with Picaridin are best for everyday use, and for those who don’t like to use DEET.  If you have skin sensitivity, try an essential oil such as lemon eucalyptus oil.

Sun safety tips If you’re on any of these medications listed above, be sure to talk to your pharmacist or healthcare provider about sun precautions, and see some suggestions below:  Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. If you plan to be outside for an extended period, try to spend some time in the shade and apply SPF 50 or higher. Broad-spectrum sunscreen covers both UVA and UVB rays. Reapply waterresistant sunscreen every two hours if you plan to be swimming or are sweating.  Seek shade when the sun is at its strongest.  Wear protective clothing with long sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.  Be sure to hydrate regularly, especially if you 24 | SUMMER 2025 are taking a diuretic.

Summer travel Staying on top of your prescriptions while you travel is important. Be sure to plan ahead to make sure you have enough medication.  Refill early: Ask your pharmacist if you can get a refill before your trip.  Keep a list of your prescriptions and dosages in case you need an emergency refill.  Keep meds in their original prescription bottles, especially if you are flying and going through TSA or customs.  Pack your medications in your carry-on bag in case of delays or lost luggage.  Bring a few extra days’ worth of medication just in case travel plans unexpectedly change.  If traveling abroad, check to see if your medications are legal. Some painkillers or controlled substances are not allowed, and you will need a letter from your doctor stating what the medication is for.  Stay consistent with your medication routine. Travel can often disrupt your normal schedule, so set an alarm on your phone for medication reminders.  If your meds need to be refrigerated, be sure to bring along a cooler or insulated travel bag.  Pack over-the-counter medication such as pain relievers, antacids, motion sickness meds, and antihistamines just in case you need them.

RESIDENT PROFILE

Jack Heck 100 years and counting BY: Gladys Sachse Resident, Cedar Community Independent Living

Jack, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday, was born in Milwaukee on March 25, 1925. He grew up in the Sherman Park area of Milwaukee with one younger sister. His grandmother, who spoke only German, lived nearby, and his family spoke mostly German until Jack started first grade.

He attended Peckham Junior High, Washington High School, and completed one semester at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Jack served in the Navy for three years during the 1940s as a pharmacist’s mate at the Fleet Hospital #105 in the South Pacific, stationed on the island of New Caledonia near Australia. After his discharge, he returned to college for one year.

Growing up during the Great Depression, Jack took on small jobs as soon as possible to contribute to the family income—delivering newspapers and handbills. He enjoyed typical childhood activities like neighborhood games and baseball, and he always helped around the house.

One of the neighborhood kids was Edythe, who later became his wife. Jack was two years older than her but they enjoyed many of the same activities in school. They both played in the junior high band— Jack on the trombone, Edy on oboe. Jack liked to tease Edy with a squirt bottle whenever he got the chance. After graduation, Jack went off to serve in the military, and he and Edy exchanged letters. When he was discharged, they became close friends, and soon they were married.

Jack and Edy had three children—two daughters and a son. Nancy lives in Seattle, Washington; Ann lives in Butte des Morts, Wisconsin; and Jack lives in Milwaukee. Jack has seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, many of whom live nearby. There are four “Jacks” in the family—his son, grandson, and nephew all share the same name. Additionally, there are seven named “Gus” in the family tree, including a son-in-law, grandson, and great-grandson.

Edy’s father and uncle owned an IGA grocery store on Locust Street. The family later opened a Sentry store on Downer Avenue. Jack joined the family grocery business, learning it from the ground up— managing, ordering, stocking, and running the register. After 20 years, Jack and Edy ran a few other small businesses in the Brookfield area. Edy even drew up the floor plan for their Glendale ranch home, which they built together.

Later, they moved to Sister Bay, where Jack worked at Sister Bay Home Center, a retail store. After 14 years, they retired—or so they thought! They had already signed up for a spot at Cedar Community, which had a five-year waitlist.

30 | SUMMER 2025

During retirement, they spent summers in Sister Bay and winters traveling in their truck and trailer.

One winter, while passing through Little Fort, they met a woman with Wisconsin license plates who connected them to a volunteer opportunity. The next year, they volunteered at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument in Coolidge, Arizona. They spent two winters there volunteering with another couple, Ralph and Ruth from Michigan. Jack and Ralph handled maintenance work—true jacks-of-alltrades—while Edy and Ruth worked in the visitor center bookstore.

For the next few winters, they volunteered in Death Valley National Park. When they arrived, someone shouted, “The angels are here!” (Their reputation had preceded them!) With Ralph and Ruth, Jack and Edy spent the next three winters volunteering in Death Valley National Park.

Finally, they decided to really retire and come back to Wisconsin to live year round. Their daughter had just built a new home, and since Jack and Edy had sold their trailer and no longer owned furniture or appliances, they moved in with her and her husband for a year. In September 1994, they moved to Cedar Community’s independent living homes. Back then, the trees were still small, but the neighborhood was already warm and welcoming—a great place to retire!

Jack and Edy were very active at Cedar Community. They were both social and involved in activities.

They served on the SAE (Social Activities & Education) Committee and the Village Resident Council— Jack served three terms. Edy joined several book clubs. Jack fondly remembers one Saturday afternoon when a marching band came down the street to celebrate a neighbor’s birthday, entertaining the neighborhood for hours.

They enjoyed traveling to Arizona in the winter and once took a trip to Florida. They also enjoyed two Caribbean cruises, an Alaskan cruise, and an Alaskan bus and train tour. Edy was always adventurous as they traveled the back roads. She passed away in 2014.

Today, Jack lives independently. He enjoys reading, playing cards four to five days a month—including Sheepshead, Bridge, Gin, and Cribbage—and recently completed another 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle (he never looks at the picture on the box!). He also builds 3D puzzles and LEGO sets, and enjoys some light gardening.

Longevity runs in his family—his mother lived nearly 100 years, and his sister currently lives at a care center in Milwaukee. Jack credits his age to staying active, social involvement, good living, good genes— and just plain luck.

NEWS YOU CAN USE Cedar Community receives Skilled Nursing Facility Heart Failure Certification from the American Heart Association The American Heart Association certification recognizes commitment to following the latest evidence-based treatment guidelines.

Cedar Community has earned the Skilled Nursing Facility Heart Failure Certification offered by the American Heart Association®, the world’s leading voluntary organization focused on heart and brain health. The certification provides an evidence-based framework for evaluating skilled nursing facilities against the American Heart Association’s rigorous science-based requirements for heart failure (HF) patients, including program management, patient and caregiver education and support, care coordination, clinical management, and quality improvement.

“Participation in this certification benefits the patient and the facility by standardizing care practices,” said Cory Woods, DNP, MHA, MSN, RN, volunteer chair of the American Heart Association’s Quality Certification Business Management Committee and assistant chief clinical officer at Rockport Healthcare Services in Los Angeles. “When there are clear processes during every phase of care, patients have the best opportunity for positive outcomes.”

Nearly one in four HF patients are readmitted within 30 days of discharge and approximately half are readmitted within six months; about one quarter of readmissions may be preventable. This certification can support facilities’ efforts to stop preventable readmissions.

“Heart failure patients need high-quality, evidence-based care after leaving the hospital—this gives them the best chance to improve their health,” said Heather Suarez Del Real, director of nursing. “At Cedar Community, we want to be trailblazers and continue to use innovative methods to give our heart failure patients the best care. The American Heart Association has armed us with additional tools and recognized our success. It is an honor to have our processes and efforts recognized in this way.”

To be eligible for this certification, the facility must be in the U.S. or a U.S. territory and implement an HF program that uses a standardized method of delivering clinical care based on current evidence-based guidelines. Learn more about this certification and others at Heart.org/CertifiedCare.

Nicole Pretre and Betty Pearson at the Leadership West Bend Graduation Celebration.

Grace and peace to you, Have you ever wondered what it might be like to be a wildflower? A wildflower, where your sole purpose (or your soul purpose) was to live freely in the beauty and joy of each day.

In a world full of chaos and division, it can be challenging and even overwhelming to think about joy—which may be why such joy can be a source of strength when we intentionally lean into it. What simple moments do you value? How do they bring you joy?

With joy and gratitude, I am pleased to highlight two of our many wonderful chaplains here at Cedar Community. Chaplain Jakob Kröner, originally joining us in 2023 as a guest from one of the UCC’s partner churches in Germany, has decided to stay in the United Rev. Emma Sancomb, BCC States and is pursuing ordination in the United Church of Christ. In his recently submitted ordination paper, he shared, “While I enjoyed ministry in Germany, I enjoy ministry in the U.S. Director of Spiritual Care far more because of its focus on the individual—people in Germany don’t expect the pastor to journey with them as closely as they do in the U.S.” With a desire to “journey with,” Jakob has been a wonderful addition to our team and wider community. We are grateful for the programs he offers, the chapel services he leads, and for all those with whom he journeys. While Jakob awaits his ordination, we are grateful he has been licensed by the United Church of Christ to serve at Cedar Community.

Just before Holy Week, we welcomed a new team member to the spiritual care department and Cedar Community. Peter (or “Pete”) Capoyianes joins us from Fond du Lac, where he served for more than eight years as a hospital chaplain. Chaplain Pete brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and creativity, and we are grateful to have him as a part of our team.

Chaplain Pete is located at the Cedar Ridge Campus and will primarily serve our independent living residents.

For more information regarding our chapel services, Bible studies, grief support groups, and other spiritual care offerings, please contact me at esancomb@cedarcommunity.org.

In joy and wonder,

May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day.

—Native American proverb

Bringing sunshine to those in need— thanks to you!

Summer has a special way of fostering connections—it’s a season that calls people outside, encourages gatherings, and invites spontaneous moments of joy. I know how much I appreciate the longer daylight, water activities, festivals, bonfires, and barbeques with friends and family.

Summer brings communities together and presents a wonderful opportunity to extend the sense of belonging to others. At Cedar Community, we intentionally create opportunities for active, Jenny Zaskowski meaningful living—ensuring our residents can fully Philanthropy Director embrace the joy of summer fun. Just like you! Even a small moment of joy can be transformative for those experiencing isolation, loneliness, or limited mobility. It’s both an honor and a calling to bring the spirit of summer to those who need it most.

What doesn’t change during this season is the reminder of the generosity of supporters like you. Just as summer brings pleasure, adventure, and renewal— your kindness brings hope and opportunity to those who may be less fortunate.

Whether you choose to support a charity run, visit a youth concession, walk a dog that needs a family, or engage in our very own Partners In Caring™ charitable fund, your time and support matter. I wish to thank those who have made an intentional gift and connection to help support a resident who may be experiencing hardship.

As seniors are living longer today, even with their best-laid plans, some are outliving their financial resources. Your gift matters!

Everyone deserves to experience the season of connection. Let’s continue to spread the sunshine, whether it’s through a donation, volunteering, or sharing one’s mission; every action makes a difference.

Philanthropy is more than generosity—it’s a light that lifts spirits, fuels dreams, and reminds us that we’re part of something greater than ourselves. When communities come together to uplift one another, we don’t just celebrate a season—we create a legacy of hope. Wishing you a summer filled with joy, connection, and the fulfillment of knowing you’ve helped bring sunshine to others.
