For the love of seniors Dear Friends, We are in the midst of one of the most exciting, transformative times for aging and the JAA is your partner. In the past few years alone, we were the first senior care provider in Pennsylvania to receive approval to create a nighttime dementia program. We were the first to cook made-to-order meals on our skilled nursing home units. We received the first Leading Age national innovation award for our AgeWell Home Medication Management Program. This past fiscal year, as a result of our collaboration with Harvardeducated Dr. John Zeisel and the famed Hearthstone Institute, we began the process of becoming the first Hearthstone-Certified Center of Excellence for memory care in the state of Pennsylvania, joining the likes of other first-rate healthcare organizations like the Mayo Clinic. The JAA is leading the effort to transform the dialogue surrounding Alzheimer’s by providing a narrative of hope. We recognize that the future of aging lies within our communities. We are building on our strong Jewish foundation that teaches us to honor and respect our elders. For 110 years, the JAA has been here as your partner. We have supported those who have needed our services. We recognize that we can do more and our seniors deserve more. That is why together, we can rewrite our aging stories to one of vitality, hope, and life.
Deborah Winn-Horvitz President & CEO
Mitchell Pakler Chairman of the Board

COMMUNITY One hundred and ten years. 110 years since Rabbi Aaron and Pearl Ashinsky, immigrants to the United States from Eastern Europe and new to Pittsburgh, had a groundbreaking idea. With $25,000 raised from community members, Rabbi Ashinsky purchased a large, multi-story brick house on a winding street in Pittsburgh’s Hill District that had once served as a home to orphan girls. He re-opened its doors to seniors in need. Since that moment, for 110 years, the Jewish Association on Aging has been helping our most vulnerable seniors, year by year, day by day, minute by minute. But we haven’t done this alone. As Rabbi Aaron and Pearl learned more than 110 years ago, it requires so much to support seniors in need …

It starts—and ends—with community.

Memory Care Outreach Community is at the center of one the JAA’s innovative approaches to treating those with memory disorders. The I’m Still Here Alzheimer’s staff training program from Boston’s Hearthstone Institute that we began last year is already changing the lives of those affected by memory loss. This program uses a philosophy of understanding and caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias through practical application of a proven Montessori-based treatment and methodology. By providing meaningful activities problematic behaviors associated with Alzheimer’s will diminish. Hearthstone is based on the premise that despite the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s those affected and their families can still find meaning and purpose and have excellent quality of life for many, many years. We are compelled to invest in this groundbreaking, socially responsible program that will educate family members, staff, and the public at large to change the conversation from Alzheimer’s as a disease of “disability” to one that emphasizes “ability.” Our collaborating partner Dr. John Zeisel, founder of The Hearthstone Institute and President of the I’m Still Here Foundation, is the highest-funded National Institute of Health researcher in the country for non-pharmacologic approaches to the disease. For years, the typical treatment for those suffering from behavioral problems associated with Alzheimer’s was to medicate them when they exhibited the symptoms of agitation, aggression, anxiety, or apathy. Falls were common among this population of frail seniors. We understand now from Dr. Zeisel’s extensive and well-respected research that medication is not the whole answer to living a quality life with the disease. Hearthstone Institute representatives are currently working with our staff and families on communication skills which will be embedded in the day-to-day life and activities of our residences and home-based programs. While still early in the process, we have already seen a 50 percent reduction in falls in one of our memory-care residences. Families of residents report higher satisfaction than ever before. In October 2016, the JAA became the first Hearthstone Center of Excellence in Pennsylvania to incorporate this methodology and only one of a handful of these centers in the country. It will have long-lasting effects with our residents, clients, volunteers, staff, and community.

How Far We’ve Come 1906
2008
Beth Moshab Z’Kainim, which would later become the Jewish Association on Aging, is incorporated in the Hill District, which at that time was the center of Jewish life in Pittsburgh. There the Jewish Home & Hospital for the Aged is started in a 20-room house. Teddy Roosevelt is President of the United States (with only 45 states in the Union), and a quart of milk costs 7 cents.
JAA Center for Outpatient Rehabilitation opens on the corner of Forbes and Shady avenues. Nearly 75 percent of Internet users, 55 percent of the entire U.S. adult population, report they go online to get their news as opposed to print or television.
1933
Cementing his legacy of caring, our founder Rabbi Aaron Ashinsky moves the facility and its 28 seniors to Browns Hill Road and expands the nursing home at a time when Pittsburgh and the United States are in the throes of the Great Depression and as Europe begins to unravel with political and social chaos. Also in 1933, Pittsburgh gets a pro football team, then called the Pirates. 1936

IN 110 YEARS
We have helped as many as 200,000 seniors and their families. We have seen the needs of our community change in dramatic ways, in part due to significant changes in public health policy, regulations, and priorities. We have never wavered from our commitment to provide a Jewish, faith-based option to the elders in Western Pennsylvania and to their families. We have led 1,430 Jewish high holiday services, served approximately 5,720 Friday evening Shabbat dinners on white tablecloths, and prepared approximately 479,000 matzo balls since our inception in 1906.
The Community Comes Home Community outreach is a vital element for our success. This past year we increased our JAA community volunteering efforts, which had a significant impact on our seniors. Nearly 600 volunteers donated approximately 1,500 hours of community service to our organization. These volunteer programs included youngsters helping our seniors make apricot hamantashen at Weinberg Terrace, adult volunteers delivering Mollie’s Meals, and, in an effort to uphold our belief that no one should die alone, Sivitz Jewish Hospice volunteers sitting at the bedside of those at the end of their lives. Our G2G (Generation to Generation) program took root and extended its infrastructure this year. G2G is an intergenerational community engagement opportunity that provides interactive activities for public and private middle school and high school students with seniors who live in our Pittsburgh facilities. Throughout this past year, teens and seniors participated in a host of G2G activities, including baking, gardening, Skyping instructions, and Lessons of a Lifetime (learning about and documenting seniors’ stories). These activities, and more, are planned for the coming year. Sixth grade students from Community Day School participated in a new intergenerational program called Better Together. This monthly program encourages the students and residents of our skilled nursing facility, Charles M. Morris Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, to enjoy meals, activities, and shared learning projects. Together they threw a mock wedding and one of our residents performed in the role of flower girl.

The community of volunteers who support our Sivitz Jewish Hospice are outstanding individuals. Hospice volunteers provide a supportive presence to both patients and families. A companion volunteer can read to a patient, play soft music, carry on discussions and conversations, or just hold their hand. Through the hospice’s new memory keepsake program, volunteers assist a patient in creating a memory keepsake with pictures and journaling a particular story, memory, or experience the patient wants to leave to their loved ones.

Community Brings Beauty and Life The JAA also found community support in a fascinating musical program for residents and community members. We hosted a hands-on demonstration by Lori Frazer of the Yamaha Music and Wellness Institute. Ms. Frazer brought in several digital pianos that imitate a wide range of symphonic instruments to give anyone with no musical training the ability to create beautiful music. Community support also came to us through the beauty of great art and design, creating a warm, friendly place for our seniors to stay and their families to visit. Our Resident-Centered Dining Program is nearly complete. In these beautiful, sunny open-concept kitchen and dining rooms friendships are born and community is solidified. This would not be possible without significant foundation support and community members who recognize that our residents deserve choice—whether it be the time of day they eat or what they eat—and beauty in their day-to-day lives. On the Arbor Unit in Weinberg Village, a unit dedicated to those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, the community rallied to support us. The community room was updated with new paint and furniture and was dedicated to Saul Elinoff, longtime Pittsburgher, Arbor resident, and philanthropist as a gift from his wife Yetta. The room was decorated with portraits of residents by Pittsburgh photographer John Schiller. Finally, we received a generous donation from the late Sally Levin, her son Robert, and Levin Furniture, giving our reception area a cozy and welcoming feel to whoever is entering our doors.

Giving Thanks The emphasis on community is in everything we do. So many people give their time, their financial support, and their positive energy to us. This year we thought it would be good to let our residents take the time to thank our donors, so we hosted our first-ever thank-a-thon with Weinberg Terrace residents.

Armed with a script, some decaf, and cookies, residents called people near and far who were so generous to give to the JAA. On more than one occasion, the conversation would run off script with an “Oh, honey! I knew your mother! We were neighbors! Oh, I’m fine. How are you?”
Community Comes Out Last fiscal year we hosted two outstanding events outside our doors and were so fortunate to see the community come out and learn about our mission. Our annual meeting featured keynote speaker Tony Buettner, a National Geographic magazine researcher who spoke of his and his brother Dan’s investigation on why some communities in the world boast the longest-living inhabitants. The JAA also held its largest fundraiser in its 110 year history. It was standing room only at the Heinz History Center with more than 400 guests as comedian Richard Lewis entertained with his trademark neurotic, New York humor. “110 years—man,” Richard told the crowd, poker-faced. “110 years of helping the elderly. You take all faiths. Incredible. You don’t care if they are a Zen Buddhist. We’re Jews. We want to help the Zen Buddhist. The Zen Buddhist is in pain. Here, have an aspirin.” This event honored Bobbee Slotsky Kramer, whose years of service to us have been instrumental to our success. Our success is also attributed to the help of every member of our community who has supported us throughout these 110 years. Which brings us to next year, year 111 of serving our seniors. 365 more days. 525,600 minutes. How will we quantify our upcoming year? With community. With love. And with gratitude. Stay tuned. Great innovations for senior care are just around the bend. 10
