4. From the CEO’s Desk
by David Fuks, Chief Executive Officer,
Cedar Sinai Park
The place of the nursing home to meet the needs of
elders in our community is changing. This is a change
for the better. The traditional use of the nursing home
as a long-term destination should be considered only as
a last resort. We want to help you or your loved ones
to stay home for as long as possible... and we want to
help those who need rehabilitation to be able to return
home as quickly as possible.
Cedar Sinai Park’s Capital Campaign to develop a
new household-model care center and to renovate the
Robison Jewish Health Center will help to give shape
to a system of care built on Jewish values - one that
also recognizes the changing needs of our community
in the 21st century. This new array of services to be
provided in these settings will take place in a broader
context of service where home and community-based
care will be available.
Expanded care options in your own home.
Cedar Sinai Park is in the business of helping people
to succeed wherever they choose to live Certainly, as
we age, we might need some help. That help could be
a few hours of assistance in your own home to take
care of small household tasks. For others, a higher
level of support at home in order to manage medications or take care of other daily activities (such as
bathing) might be needed. Perhaps, assistance with
shopping, or getting to and from a doctor’s visit might
4 | FALL 2013 | GENERATION TO GENERATION
be what makes the difference. Cedar Sinai Park is
working to develop a variety of home service and home
care options in collaboration with its Jewish agency
partners to assist our community with aging in their
own homes.
A NEW care center to help you get back on
your feet and back in your own home.
We recognize, however, that for many of us a time will
come when we need to enter the healthcare system for
a short period to respond to a serious care need. Hip
or knee surgery, for example, may require a follow-up
stay in a traditional rehabilitation setting in order to
help a person get back on their feet and back home.
For others, more serious healthcare events might
require more extensive transitional rehabilitative care.
As a community, we must be prepared to provide an array of rehabilitative services that will guarantee access
to the highest quality of care possible.
Private rooms in the new care
center AND in a renovated Robison
Jewish Health Center.
We are pleased that the days of companion rooms will
soon be but a memory. As you can see in the chart on
the next page, 36 beds in three households in the new
care center will be available for rehabilitation services.
Residents in these private rooms will enjoy access to

12 rooms in the Robison Jewish Health Center will
also be renovated for the purpose of rehabilitation care.
Residents will enjoy the improved amenities of these
private rooms and of the Robison building’s renovated
environment and easy access to the rehabilitation gym.
New care offerings in residential or
long term settings.
We also recognize that there are some conditions that
will still result in the need for residential or long-term
care stay. The fourth household in the new care center
will have 12 private rooms and will operate as an
enhanced residential care setting for individuals whose
healthcare needs have exceeded their ability to remain
in their own home. Additionally, 15 private rooms will
be renovated for residential care in the Robison
Jewish Health Center. Thirty-six private rooms will
be renovated at Robison for specialized long-term
care stays.
The household model has been shown
to improve both quality of life and
healthcare outcomes.
Those in our community who need a helping hand at
home... or are facing post-surgery challenges, progressive diseases or the end stages of life, deserve the opportunity to live with comfort, privacy and dignity in
a care setting that reflects their cultural and spiritual
values, in addition to receiving the highest-quality
healthcare available.

6. Message From the President
by Paul Frisch, President,
Board of Trustees
“A place To Call Home.”
For those of us affiliated with
Cedar Sinai Park, the most oftenasked question by friends and family in our community is “how are
things at the ‘home’?” By this, of
course, they’re lovingly referring to
the “Robison Jewish Home” (now
Robison Jewish Health Center).
For over 80 years, Robison has
been “home” to our loving bubbes
and zaydes, our favorite aunts and
uncles, and our attentive friends
and neighbors. For generations,
this traditional nursing facility has
had a profound impact on so many
families in our community.
“Home” is a powerful word. It connotes warmth and safety.... and
evokes feelings of connectedness
and love. Robison Jewish Health
Center will always be “home”
thanks to the love from the dedicated employees who provide the
residents with tenderness and care...
from the volunteers who bring
smiles to every face... and from the
visiting preschoolers that enthusiastically give out hugs.
organization Cedar Sinai Park). For
more than a decade, CSP has had a
“chair” at the “healthcare services
table” - advocating for elders at the
local, state and national levels. We
have more access than ever before
to life-saving medicines... and we’ll
likely live longer than our parents
and grandparents before us.
As the many baby boomers age
(approximately 8000 people a day
are turning 65), we will have to be
innovative in planning for our 70s,
80s and 90s.
Cedar Sinai Park wants to help
members of our community to
remain in their own homes successfully for as long as they can. We
have been working for more than
a decade to develop healthcare services that will help people to thrive
in their own homes as they age.
At times, healthcare needs exceed
the ability of elders to remain in
their own home. For some people,
short-term rehabilitative care after
injury or illness will make an enormous difference in getting them
back on their feet and returning
As individuals, we never stop learn- to their community. We are proud

services are able to return home or
to a lower level of care.
For those whose healthcare needs
cannot be managed in their own
home, we recognize that our more
traditional residential or long-term
care services may be needed.
Your support of the Capital Campaign will allow us to renovate
the Robison Jewish Health Center
and create 63 private rooms, plus
build a new care center with 48
private rooms... ALL with private
bathrooms and showers! Each of
the four households in our state-ofthe-art care center offers communal
social areas, including an open
kitchen and a community living
room for relaxing with friends.
Whether you are in a house, an
apartment, or even a private room
in one of the Robison’s new households, the saying “Home is where
the heart is” still applies. With our
incredible staff and array of services,
we’re confident you’ll feel right at
home with us!
7. Employees of the Quarter
Cedar Sinai Park wants
to do everything we can
to help members of our
community to remain in
their homes successfully
for as long as they can.
And for those that need
transitional or longterm care, we provide a
place to call home.
We are proud to honor
Luis Palacios as Employee of
the Quarter at Robison Jewish
Health Center. As the congenial
and hard-working Lead Server for
both lunch and dinner, Luis creates a convivial dining atmosphere
for our residents. He joined our
staff four years ago after living in
Mexico City. During his off hours,
Luis enjoys cooking hearty meals
for his three active boys.
Sisterhood’s
Fall Faire
Please join us in recognizing
Usiel Solis as Employee of
the Quarter at Rose Schnitzer
Manor. As an attentive Server
in our dining room since 2010,
Usiel enjoys going out of his way
to please residents. Oregon’s
lush green trees and ample rain
remind him of his native country of Guatemala. A part-time
student at Portland Community
College, Usiel is thankful for
all the support he receives from
residents and staff of Cedar
Sinai Park.

It may have been raining non-stop
the weekend of Sept. 29th, but that
didn’t prevent loyal Sisterhood
members from gathering for the
Sisterhood Fall Faire in Zidell Hall
at Rose Schnitzer Manor. The

the latest fall clothing and jewelry
trends; noshing on tasty samples of
local coffees, candy and food; and
getting information on creating
colorful fall floral bouquets and
the latest hairstyling tips. Co-Chair
Michelle Gradow showed some of
the treasures that can be found at

Cedar Sinai Park employees graduate from
“english as a Second language” class.
On Tuesday, Sept. 10th, eight proud
graduates of CSP’s “English as a
Second Language” class gathered
with friends and family for a celebratory graduation ceremony in
Zidell Hall.
The graduation pamphlet summed
up the graduates’ spirit: “We come
from all over the world (and) we all
learn from each other. We laugh
and cry. We embrace our differences and discover our similarities.”
In gratitude for the opportunity
to deepen their experience with
the English language, the beaming
graduates shared stories with the
audience... where they were born
(the Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Cambodia, Guatemala and Mexico), and the difficulties and joys
of their experiences. The last to
speak, Benito Lopez (who teaches
Spanish to the residents at Robison
Jewish Health Center), showed the
audience the Guatemalan flag, and
captivated the room with a recording of his homeland’s national
anthem. The class wishes to thank
the CSP administration, employees
Elizabeth Moore and Irit Mandelsberg, and resident Arnie Silver for
their support; CSP’s Education
Training Director Carolyn Caldwell
for her loving dedication; and
CSP’s Culinary Department for
the delectable snacks!

9. What’s New at Cedar Sinai Park
Rabbi Abby believes in providing
a safe space for people to be angry,
sad, skeptical, joyful and grateful.
As Cedar Sinai Park’s Director of
Spiritual Life, Rabbi Abby is excited to work with residents by provid-
ing a listening ear and sharing the
wisdom that she has learned.
This is my dream job
in my dream city!
Please Welcome
the new director
of spiritual life Rabbi Abby Cohen!
Cedar Sinai Park is thrilled to have
Rabbi Abby Cohen join our team.
She enthusiastically proclaims,
“This is my dream job in my
dream city!”
Rabbi Abby grew up in New Jersey,
and was drawn to Judaism from
an early age. She graduated from
Bennington College with a degree
in art and music, and later moved
to New York City where she got
involved with Congregation Ansche Chesed. After meeting many
cantorial students, Rabbi Abby
travelled to Israel and fell in love
with learning Torah. She continued
her religious intellectual studies in
New York at the Rabbinical School
at the Jewish Theology Seminary
of America. Before moving to Portland, Rabbi Abby spent a year as
a Chaplain Resident at Alta Bates
Summit Medical Center in Berkeley, California. Her experience
doing hospice work and serving in
a hospital will be a great asset to
fulfilling Cedar Sinai Park’s mission and dedication to the Fifth
Commandment.

14. One Community Member’s Legacy
Love. Honor. Respect.
Harold Nadler was a
beloved resident of Rose
Schnitzer Manor for 10
years. He and his wife
Rosalyn moved from New
York City and joined our
community in 1999. Prior
to their arrival in Portland,
Harold served as a New
York public school administrator for 29 years.
Known to his friends as Hal, Harold was a very active
resident at Rose Schnitzer Manor, volunteering at the
library and gift shop, as well as sitting on Cedar Sinai
Park’s Board of Directors as a resident representative.
His dear friend, Jack Straus, who has been a RSM resident for 11 years says, “What a great guy he was. Hal
made a lot of friends, often acting as a tour guide to
new residents and staying involved with many things.”
Sadly, Hal’s wife and true love passed away. Though
Hal was devastated, he was very appreciative of the
constant support and companionship he received from
RSM residents and staff after his wife’s death. Soon after, Hal arranged for a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA)
through the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation
(OJCF) for the benefit of Cedar Sinai Park and the
Community Endowment Fund of the OJCF.
This gesture of gratitude is Hal’s Legacy. In an interview in 2006, Hal exclaimed, “I was happy to arrange
for a Charitable Gift Annuity. I received a nice tax
deduction, too. There are many benefits to this kind
of annuity.”
Then, in the same spirit, Hal’s friend Jack followed
suit, creating a Charitable Gift Annuity in 2008... recognizing the ease that this risk-free choice offers, while
ultimately creating his own legacy. Jack explained, “I
like the steady income and fact that the funds will be
used later for the things the organization needs. I trust
that Cedar Sinai Park will take care of how they use
the money.”
Hal ultimately moved back to New York City in 2009
to spend his final days with his daughter Judith and
family. Judith called to say, “I wanted to let you know
how very proud (my Dad) was to be supporting the
Jewish community of Oregon and, especially, Rose
Schnitzer Manor where he lived for so many years.”
Cedar Sinai Park is blessed to have had Hal Nadler
and Jack Straus as part of our community and to be
a part of their enduring legacies.
The strong partnership between OJCF and Cedar Sinai
Park makes it very easy for interested donors to set up
a Charitable Gift Annuity. See the opposite page for
more info. or contact Debbi Bodie, Chief Development
Officer of Cedar Sinai Park, at 503-535-4303 or

15. A Gift That Keeps on Giving:
Charitable Gift Annuities
this agreement with an organization dear to YOUR hearT
ensures stable income for life, then becomes your legacy.
Here’s how it works
The donor signs an agreement with the charitable organization of his/her choosing and makes an irrevocable
gift of cash or securities. The organization invests the
gift and makes fixed annuity payments to the donor
for life. The annuity rate is based on the amount of the
gift and the age of the donor. A portion of the annuity
payment may include tax-free return of principal. Part
of the payment is interest earned and is taxable as ordinary income. Upon the donor’s passing, the remaining
value of the original gift (called “residuum”) becomes
an endowment gift to support the Jewish community.
Cedar Sinai Park partners with the Oregon Jewish
Community Foundation (OJCF) on Charitable Gift
Annuities. Anyone can arrange for a CGA with a
minimum gift of $10,000 at the age of 65 or older.
The foundation follows the investment guidelines and
rates recommended by the American Council of Gift
Annuities. OJCF takes on the financial responsibility
for the annuity payments. If someone outlives their
life expectancy or the market takes a downturn, OJCF
will still make the required annuity payments. This
safeguards the donor’s income stream from the CGA.
“CGAs provide a sense of security for the donor as
they know that a payment will be received every quarter. It also serves as a nice reminder of the good they
are doing for their community,” says Julie Diamond,
Executive Director of Oregon Jewish Community
Foundation.

Dedication Day for Kehillah
“A dream come true” for community families
Kehillah, Cedar Sinai Park’s newly
completed apartment building for
developmentally disabled adults,
opened its doors at a celebratory
dedication event on Sept. 9th. Under the welcome shade of a large
tent, residents and supporters in
high spirits gathered to hear speakers, and explore this new home for
independent living.
“Ten years ago, independent living
for our daughter, Erika, was just a
dream. Now with the exciting opening of Kehillah, that dream has
come true”, says Jerome Menashe,
father to Erika Menashe, a new
resident of Kehillah.
A program of distinguished speakers recognized the importance of
Kehillah and the impact it will
have on many families in the community. Dan Saltzman, a Portland
City Commissioner; Patrick Shea
of the U.S. Dept. of Housing and
Urban Development and Vince
Chiotti from Oregon Housing and
Community Services gave thoughtful remarks, underlining the unique
partnership between Cedar Sinai
Park and the public sector to serve
adults with disabilities. Dr. Eugene
Borkan, a member of the Kehillah
Board, shared his own experiences
raising a special-needs child and
what Kehillah will mean to parents
concerned about the well-being of
their child when they are no longer
able to provide care. Rabbi Abby
Cohen, Director of Spiritual Life
at Cedar Sinai Park and a parent
16 | FALL 2013 | GENERATION TO GENERATION
to two developmentally disabled
adults, led the crowd in the traditional blessing, as she affixed a mezuzah on the door of the building....
signaling its transformation from a
house to a home.
The dedication event was also an
opportunity to recognize the many
donors and partners that helped to
make Kehillah possible. Cedar Sinai Park CEO David Fuks acknowledged the generous contributions
of the US Department of Housing
and Urban Development, National
Council of Jewish Women, Portland Development Commission,
Wayne D. and Joan E. Kuni Foundation, and Jerry and Helen Stern
Family. Special thanks were
also given to RH Construction,

Family and Child Service, as well

Kehillah will collaborate with
a number of volunteer services,
including Jewish Family and Child
Service, as well as tenant-employed
providers to offer residents much
needed support and life skills
training that will assist in their
ability to live independently in
the community.
None were more honored at the
dedication event than the new
residents of Kehillah. Brimming
with excitement and beaming with
pride, they offered guided tours to
the apartments. In addition to the
14 individual apartments, the building offers communal social areas,
including an open kitchen and a
community living room, as well as
a conference room where residents
can meet privately with support services or family. “Kehillah is a dream
come true for our family,” says Ann
Wilson, mother to resident Cole
Takahashi. “The reality is even better than the dream.”
Frank Hudson joins Cedar
Sinai Park’s community as Kehillah Manager. Frank was born
and raised in Chicago, IL. After
completing his stint in the United
States Marines, Frank attended the
University of Illinois. In 1988, he
moved to Portland to attend Lewis
and Clark Law School. After getting his J.D. degree in 1992, Frank
started working for the Portland
City Attorneys Office. Then in
2005, he worked for two non-profits
- Transition Projects Inc. and Central City Concern. Both non-profits
focus on alleviating poverty and
homelessness; they also provide
counseling and other services to
many people with physical and
developmental disabilities.
Frank learned about Kehillah
through his volunteer work on elder
law issues. When asked about what
is the most exciting thing about
his new role of Kehillah Manager,
Frank explained, “I enjoy working
with people with varied abilities
because they are sincere, good
natured, and do not dissemble. I
find it rewarding to watch these remarkable people attain higher levels
of self-determination and independence than they previously thought
possible. In addition, it’s fantastic
to work at Kehillah because our residents’ families are totally invested
in making this endeavor a success.”

18. Affordable Housing
THE TRUTH IS FINDING
QUALITY HOUSING
WHEN WE’RE OLDER
MAY BE DIFFICULT.
It is important to plan ahead.
The availability of affordable
housing is limited, and the
waiting lists for this housing
are usually long. Should you
feel that affordable housing
would be an important resource to you (or to someone
you know), it is wise to plan
NOW to put your name(s) on
the waiting lists for apartments
where support will be available.
For those in our community
who may have this need, you
should know that Cedar Sinai
Park is now the general partner
for four affordable housing
buildings in downtown Portland (see box to the right). Specifically designated for people
over the age of 62, or people
with disabilities, these apartments are close to shopping,
the Art Museum, Portland
State University, and all of
the many resources that make
downtown a great place to live.
Our four buildings include:
Rose Schnitzer Tower
230 apartments
1430 SW 12th Ave.
Portland, OR 97201
503.222.7467
The 1200 Building
97 apartments

There are two advantages to
consider when seeking affordable
housing in one of our properties.
First, is the remarkable value of a
government rent subsidy to those
who qualify. These subsidies
require an individual to use only
1
/3 of their monthly income for
rent... minus a utility allowance.
For example, if your monthly
income is $1,000 (and the electric
bill is $40), your rent would be
$333 minus a $40 allowance to
pay for electricity. Second, Cedar
Sinai Park is developing a health
and social service program to
assist elders and people with disabilities that live in our buildings,
so that they might continue to
age at home and live successfully
in the community.
To learn more about the U.S. Dept. of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
guidelines, call Matthew Strickland at
Rose Schnitzer Tower - 503.222.7467.
If you (or someone you know) think you may need affordable
housing in the future, we urge you to put your name(s) on the
waiting list. Each of our four buildings has its own list, so if
you’re interested in any of the buildings, we encourage you to
apply to ALL. Just call Matthew Strickland at Rose Schnitzer Tower 503.222.7467 - for more information.

19. The Development of Housing with Services
By providing quality care services, we prevent or decrease need for Hospitalization.
For over two years, Cedar Sinai
Park has led in the development of
a consortium of providers dedicated
to the creation of a new model of
health and social services “near the
subsidized housing of low-income
elders and people with disabilities.”
Research has shown that lowincome elders living in subsidized
housing tend to have higher needs
for health care and social support
than their “same-age peers living in
their own homes.” Because of this,
we are focusing on increasing care
management and health services
available to individuals in those
settings. The goal is quite simple.
By providing high-quality care and
making it easier for people to have
access to the services they need,
we will prevent or decrease the
need for hospitalization or nursing
home care.
Our planning process will continue
into the 2014 calendar year... and
we hope to begin providing services
by April 2014. To create this consortium of services, Cedar Sinai Park
is collaborating with the following
providers: Cascadia Behavioral
Health, Lifeworks Mental Health,
Jewish Family Child Service,
Outside In, the Asian Health and
Service Center, Sinai Family Home
Services, Home Forward, Care
Oregon and Sisters of Providence
Elderplace.
A health and social service center
is also being developed in the
1200 Building in downtown Portland, where some providers will
collocate services for ease of access to the downtown low-income
housing community. Future
plans also under consideration
by Cedar Sinai Park include
further development of home and
community-based care to help
all members of our community
remain in their own homes.

heart of our mission. In everything
we do, we recognize that people,
including our eldest and most frail
citizens, have the right to control
decisions made about their lives.
Our family of services ensures that
we’re with you wherever you or your
loved one choose to live.
• Rose Schnitzer Manor:
