Mobilizing Residents' Voices
"Seniors' Revolt"
|
|
Menorah Park Center for Senior Living
(Beachwood, OH)
|
At an event last month, Menorah Park staff hosted "Seniors Revolt," an energizing Rally to encourage advocacy, which was covered by the local NBC and Fox news stations. Menorah Park staff were on hand to help residents, family members and friends write letters to their legislators on the importance of the care they receive, especially in anticipation of the Governor's proposed Medicaid Cuts to Ohio Nursing Homes. Residents, caregivers and staff were able to send over 4,000 letters to their leadership both at the Statehouse and in Washington, DC.

| Honor Weekend Recognizes Elders |
|
Beth Sholom Village
(Virginia Beach, VA)
|
The Berger-Goldrich Home at Beth Sholom Village is in the
middle of a $3 million capital campaign to renovate the nearly
40-year-old building, the area's only Jewish skilled nursing and
rehabilitation facility. The fundraising drive is called the "Honor Campaign," and local synagogues have designated Friday and Saturday as "Kahbaid," or honor weekend, to recognize elders. This weekend was selected because it is the time when synagogues around the world are studying the Ten Commandments. Local congregations will concentrate on the fifth, "Honor thy Father and thy Mother."
