Kensington Foundation 2014 | Annual Report
Breaking new ground in person-centred care, research and education is only possible when bright minds, dedicated staff and generous donors come together to make that vision a reality. For more than 15 years, the Kensington Foundation, through the generous support of our donors, has been providing each of the Kensington Health entities with the vital financial support they need to make significant contributions to ambulatory, long-term and community care in Ontario. Thanks to your generous contribution, we have seen unprecedented growth across our organization. This year saw the opening of the Kensington Vision and Research Centre, offering clinical, diagnostic and ancillary vision care services, as well as research capabilities, making Kensington Eye Institute a truly comprehensive academic ambulatory eye institute. This year also saw the adoption of towel warmers at Kensington Gardens. This seemingly small addition to the care of our residents who are most affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias has proven to be an absolute miracle worker in improving the quality of life of our residents.
Brian McFarlane, FCPA, FCGA Executive Director
John Lind,
President and Chair
And finally, our Kensington family grew with the integration of the Eye Bank of Canada – Ontario Division. This proud new addition will allow for the continued provision of a critical service in restoring vision and improving the quality of life for patients across the province. This year we are proud to report that we have achieved a fundraising total of nearly $850,000. Furthermore, thanks to the superb oversight from the Investment Committee of our Board of Directors, we have earned income of $3,208,000 from our investments. These achievements are a point of pride for the Foundation, which we know will continue to grow in the years to come.

Beyond providing financial support to the Kensington Health entities, the Kensington Foundation is proud to continue its tradition of giving back to our community by providing financial support to organizations and academic institutions in our community with a focus on health care. This year we provided a total of $126,000 in grants to 17 different organizations. We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the dedication and commitment of our entire Kensington Community – the staff, the volunteers and event participants, as well as our leadership team – without whom none of these achievements could have been made possible. Each and every contribution is equally important in its own unique way. We are pleased to share the following report with you, which serves to celebrate the accomplishments of the last year. Thank you for your generosity, your time, and your passion. Your heartfelt contributions come with our highest commitment to accountability – our audited financial statement summary can be found at the back of this report. On behalf of our patients, residents, clients and the entire team at Kensington Health – thank you.

THE KENSINGTON HOSPICE
Champions of Quality End-of-Life Care Kensington Hospice is our 10-bed residential hospice, opened in 2011 to provide quality palliative care in a peaceful, homelike setting. Located in a beautiful historic building on the Kensington Health campus, the Hospice is designed to respond to the needs of both residents and their family members as they face life-limiting illness and bereavement.
A significant proportion of operational funding remains to be provided by our generous donors. This additional operational funding covers vital programs and services that are provided to our residents and their families, including: • Spiritual Care • Social Work • Nutrition Services • Music Therapy • Volunteer Training and Coordination These crucial services are provided free of charge and contribute to the care of the whole person – mind, body, and soul – as they face lifelimiting illness. Kensington Hospice often receives praise from the families of our former residents for the care they’ve received during their time with us. But rarely does a letter pass by our office that so wonderfully captures the spirit of the Hospice as the letter from Salvatore and Tonia Desiato and their family. Their mother, Albina Desiato, was a resident of the Hospice for six weeks and two days. Their letter of appreciation truly demonstrates the comprehensive range of services that our passionate Hospice team was able to provide their family thanks to our generous donors.

While Kensington Hospice does receive public funding from the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre for nursing and personal support care, this accounts for only 70% of the total Hospice budget.

Kensington Foundation 2014/15 | Annual Report
On behalf of the entire Kensington Health community, we’d like to thank the Desiato family for their kind remarks – your words have touched all of our hearts. And we would also like to commend the amazing team at the Kensington Hospice for truly embodying the values of our organization – excellence, respect and teamwork.
A Letter of Thanks
Our dear mother, Albina Desiato, was a resident at Kensington Hos pice for six weeks and two days. We want to thank the staf f, doctors, nurses, PSWs and volu nteers for their remarkable care. At ever y turn, our mother was treated with kindness and dignity. It truly takes a special and blessed type of person to work at a hospice. It isn’t just a job but a calling to care for the most ill and vulnerable. Not only was our mother cared for but we were cared for. Nurses dote d on our father, Angelo. They asked him if he ate, encouraged him to take shor t walk s and elevated his swollen feet. We were cared for as well. Ever y day, Maxxine would ask us if we had any questions, needed any information or wanted to talk. When our mom was still speaking , she often extolled the praises of the staff and the food and was thankful for being at Ken sington and having such extraordinar y care in a lovely environment despite her terminal diagnosis. Ever y one of her visitors mar velled at the cleanliness, the beautiful woodwo rk and stained glass windows, the garden, the flowers, the peacefulness and compassiona te smiles all around. The nurses and PSWs were supportiv e as our mother’s illness advanced . They taught us how to make her more comfortable, how to thicken her orange juice and how to approach mouth care. All of you at Kensington Hospice are outstanding and we hold you all in the highest regard! Brenda who came to our home for intake and spoke with eloquence and honesty to my mother and gave her the opportun ity to express her needs and wants for her final days. Doctors Katie, Haley, Nadine and Erin – your expertise coupled with your humanity make you exemplar y in your field. SarahRose, you are an unbelievable woman. What a wonderful talent you share with Kensington residents. Our mother loved music and the fact that you gave her and our father the opportunity to hear songs she loved fills our hear ts with gladness . Claire made our mother’s initial adju stment just that much easier and answered a host of questions. Nancy, who is not only an efficient and caring nurse, but also a gifted seamstress and quilter, we loved seeing your handiwork all around the hospice. Cielo, who sat and got to know us and shared her stor y. Ola, who was concerned for our entire family and has the kindest soul. Angela – a truly spec ial and knowledgeable nurse with compassion and she always knew a good place to get a delicious quick bite. Kat, Tessa, Sihat, Diana, Lisa, Cha rlotte and Cliff are all kind and ama zing nurses and we cherish you and appreciate all you do. To Melissa and Joey, you cared for our mother as if she was your own . One day, Tonia watched Joey give our mother a bed bath. The care and dignity he show ed her was unparalleled. Albina often called Joey “the best one.” He was her favo urite…and “the worst hair dresser in the world.” All the volunteers – the receptionists , the fabulous chefs, bakers and all around helpers – Kensington Hospice could not do wha t it does without you. You are unsu ng heroes. To the two sweet custodians who always had a smile and kind word for us – than k you. A big hug to Douglas who made ever y day easier with the wag of his tail and a pet of the softest coat. As our mother took her final breaths, Lev and Sandra were with us in our grief. They offered us privacy but also showed us great sympathy. The procession was dignified and hear tfelt and meaningful as the Ken sington quilt enveloped our mother and the candle was lit in her honour. Losing our mother is profoundly pain ful and practically unbearable. Our mom was many things – strong and brave and funn y and sarcastic and gentle and kind . While thank you does not seem adequate, we hope we have conveyed our gratitud e to all of you.
Sincerely,
Salvatore and Tonia and the entire Desiato Family

A gift of warmth and comfort
The Towel Warmer Appeal
In 2014, Kensington Gardens (KG) began a fundraising appeal to support the purchase of towel warmers for some of our most impaired residents. Thanks to the nearly $15,000 that was raised by our community, KG was able to purchase four towel warmers that are now used by approximately 100 of our residents who are most affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. The intended purpose of the towel warmers was to create a better bathing experience for our residents with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. However, once the towel warmers
were in place, the team came to discover the therapeutic benefits went far beyond bathing. In fact, the towel warmers have completely transformed interactions with our residents. When asked about the impact on resident care, the staff members agreed, “It’s like magic!” They found that when residents were presented with warm towels an immediate and drastic change in behaviour occurred. Residents who were agitated and combative immediately became calm, relaxed and comfortable. The towels created a sense of trust between the residents and their support
workers, ultimately allowing for overall safer and betterquality care. With the on-going support of our donors, we will be able to continue to improve the quality of life of our residents by continually implementing new and innovative ways to care for seniors and adults with disabilities. On behalf of Kensington Gardens, the entire staff and our residents, we thank all of the towel warmer donors for your generosity. Your support has helped us continue to exceed expectations in improving the quality of life of our residents.
The towel warmers have proven to: • Calm residents with dementia-related behaviours to facilitate a comfortable bathing, dressing, and sleeping experience. • Sooth residents who are scared and confused. • Act as a non-verbal communication tool to overcome language barriers. • Foster our residents’ ability to perceive kindness in their caregiver and build a sense of trust. • Alleviate symptoms of pain related to chronic and acute illnesses, as well as palliative care. • Create a sense of comfort for residents throughout the Gardens when they experience acute changes in their health.
What is a towel warmer? A towel warmer is a piece of medical equipment that warms specialized towels and blankets used for therapeutic purposes. They are frequently used in hospitals and hospices to help with pain management and to provide an element of calm through a patient’s treatment, recuperation or palliative care. However, this is one of the first times this therapeutic tool has been implemented in a Long-Term Care setting. At Kensington Gardens (KG) warm towels and blankets are used to create a sense of calm for bathing, dressing and sleep, among many other uses. The KG staff and leadership team have been astounded by its incredible impact on our residents’ quality of life.

A highlight of the live auction was Lazlo Cser’s exclusive bottle of 18 year old Scotch. The auction is an event favourite and rallied high enthusiasm from many bidders.

CHAMPIONS OF CARE The Champions of Care program was developed by the Kensington Foundation as a wonderful way to say “thank you” to a staff member or team who made a difference in the care a person received while at Kensington Health. This gift of
thanks is not only a thoughtful way to acknowledge our dedicated team of health care professionals, but it is also a generous way of ensuring that others will be able to enjoy the same quality of care at Kensington Health in the future.
This year, six Champions of Care were acknowledged by grateful patients and residents. Congratulations and thank you for your dedication and passion! Ada Bonilla & Madonna O’Malley, Personal Support Workers (midnight shift), Kensington Gardens (1W, South) Dr. Ian Bookman, Gastroenterologist, Kensington Screening Clinic Dr. Rosa Braga-Mele, Cataract Surgeon, Kensington Eye Institute Dr. John C.

When asked why he chose to thank Dr. Braga-Mele through a contribution to the Foundation he noted that, “Dr. Braga-Mele went above and beyond the call of duty. I was dealing with a very challenging issue with my vision that was both physically limiting and emotionally disheartening. She really took the time to listen and understand my unique health care needs. She wasn’t just a

surgeon – she was a psychologist!” Mr. Antony went on to describe how that same exceptional, personalized service he received from Dr. Braga-Mele was also extended from the entire care team at KEI. “The whole team was really exceptional. I was really impressed by the measures they took to make sure I was fully taken care of.”
KENSINGTON SCREENING CLINIC
Investing in innovative technologies to save lives through early detection The Kensington Screening Clinic (KSC) has been providing quality endoscopy services to our patients in a safe and comfortable environment since opening in 2009. This year marked the beginning of the KSC Equipment Renewal Campaign, which aims to raise funds to replace our existing endoscopy system.
It is a simple fact that screening saves lives and early detection is the first step in the treatment of colon cancer. Help us ensure that patients are getting the most accurate results while receiving safe and comfortable care. Emine Meco and Rodolfo Deloso staff at the Kensington Screening Clinic
Innovative technologies in endoscopy equipment allow for more accurate diagnosis and treatment, simplify setup and reprocessing, and improve workflow. This new technology will allow KSC to provide our patients with even safer, more comfortable procedures that achieve more accurate testing results.
Kay Rhodes, Clinical Director, Kensington Screening Clinic
On behalf of all patients, staff and physicians of Kensington Health we’d like to thank Mr. Antony and all of the Champions of Care donors for their generous donations, which will help to ensure we continue to attain excellence in person-centred health care services, research and education.
