Impact Report 2015

2 Impact Report 2015

Dear Friends of CEI We are pleased and proud to share about our accomplishments and the progress we are making at the Center for Elders’ Independence (CEI). Innovative, progressive health care models like CEI’s Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) are transforming healthcare just as tens of thousands of Californians are signing up for health care coverage, many for their first time, and are seeking quality, affordable solutions for themselves and their families, especially our elders. We are doing everything we can to ensure that we can serve every senior who needs us. Transformation is happening in healthcare – and all around us! We are delighted to be here in beautiful Oakland and welcome the promising changes underway as scores of businesses are relocating here, sprucing up downtown, and luring new residents from all over the Bay Area. We are fixing up our modest headquarters building, too, with fresh paint, new carpeting and furnishings, and an updated façade. And we created two summer student internships as part of Mayor Libby Schaaf’s Oakland Promise initiative to help Oakland high schoolers pursue a college education. It’s all very exciting to take part in the revitalization of our East Bay communities where CEI has played in integral role in the health and quality of life of thousands of seniors and their families. CEI does much more than simply keep frail, lowincome seniors out of nursing homes and in our communities. We are modeling the gold standard of health care for frail seniors! What other healthcare plan features 11 disciplines of geriatric specialists, home care services, 24/7 coordinated healthcare services—including emergency care and all transportation, special dietary meals delivered at home, all prescription medications, and a lively day center offering recreational and

social activities that are both therapeutic and fun? Center for Elders’ Independence is very proud to be your PACE provider.

Center for Elders’ Independence Board Members

We thank forward-thinking, generous supporters like you for giving us the support we need to improve and expand our services. It is our goal to transform our organization in order to provide our PACE services to all seniors and their families in the East Bay, and we will continue to keep you posted on ways you can help so PACE can be there for you and your loved ones in the years ahead. Read more in this report about what we are achieving with your help, and please know how much we appreciate you.

As RN Case Manager Vidah Johnson said in a letter to CEI staff during the holidays, “Each one of us plays a vital role in ensuring that our 700 participants continue to live independently with the respect and dignity they deserve. This is why I became a nurse. This is what our PACE program is all about.”

William Webster

Thank you for your support and interest in CEI, our PACE program – and most of all, our seniors! Let us know if you have any questions or would like to get involved. We welcome hearing from you any time.

Care Coordination Service Center CEI is taking care management to a higher level of coordination, efficiency, and compassion. Our new Care Coordination Service Center (CCSC) is one of our most innovative initiatives. CCSC creates a smooth transition when a participant enters a skilled nursing facility or a hospital. Later, when the participant is discharged, we create a smooth transition back home.

“By focusing on our participants, we can track issues and intervene before problems escalate,” says Ryu Kanemoto, Vice President of Clinical Services. “When a participant enters a hospital or skilled nursing facility, we’re already planning for when they’re coming out,” says Ryu Kanemoto, Vice President of Clinical Services. “It is not compassionate to put seniors through long waits in emergency rooms, or prolonged stays in institutions, if they don’t have to be there.” “The CCSC has been a great improvement,” says Clinic Supervisor Mark Abar, RN. “Clinic staff can spend more quality time with the participants.” He cites a participant with end-stage cancer who “desperately wanted to stay at home instead of going to a hospital or nursing facility. The CCSC made it happen. Familiar staff visited the participant, family stayed at her side, and her last days were pain-free, calm, and peaceful. It would not have been possible without the CCSC coordinating the care.” “CEI gives hospitals and skilled nursing facility care managers a single point of contact. They are confident that we will handle all the necessary arrangements for our discharged participants,” adds Kanemoto.

Jeanne Steinleitner, RN Care Coordinator, and Sit Sin, Housing Services Coordinator, are the heart and soul of CEI’s new CCSC.

Fiscal Year 2014–2015 Highlights

Participants view their records online

CEI’s Annual PACE Party – New venue

CEI’s new Life Care Program – thanks to Measure A

Now that CEI’s electronic health record system, eClinicalWorks (eCW), is up and running, participants can view their healthcare records online. Having participants’ health records readily available whenever and wherever needed helps our care teams identify issues quickly so they can provide the right care at the right time for each participant. Seniors can print out health records and review them at home.

In 2015 CEI moved our annual PACE Party fundraiser to the spectacular University Club at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, and we exceeded our goal as sponsors and guests contributed $124,000! The delighted crowd ooh’d and aah’d at the sweeping views while sipping on CEI’s signature PACE Maker cocktails. CEI honored Peter and Marie Behr of Guardian Adult Day Health Care with CEI’s Community Leadership Award; and gave family caregiver Ralph Banta the Peter Szutu Caregiver Award. The annual PACE Party has doubled in revenue since 2012 and is CEI’s largest fundraiser. The next PACE Party takes place May 5, 2016.

Among CEI’s goals is to help our seniors age with dignity and that includes carrying out their wishes for their entire life at CEI, including end-of-life care wishes. Thanks to citizens of Alameda County and Measure A taxpayer funds, CEI has developed our own Life Care Plan program to ensure all our participants have a life plan, and an advance directive in place. CEI developed and piloted the program at our Eastmont PACE center and our new chaplain will continue to train and coach staff while supporting our seniors including consoling their families during their bereavement.

CEI PACE Setters walked to end Alzheimer’s Twenty CEI staff and their kids, partners, and friends donned bright orange CEI PACE Setter tee shirts and joined over 1,000 walkers at Walnut Creek’s Heather Farms Park for the 2015 Walk to End Alzheimer’s. CEI and CEI staff contributed $1,200 to support our CEI PACE Setters team members, who walked one or three miles to help end Alzheimer’s disease. CEI PACE Setters are proud to help other senior services organizations at their fundraising events like the Wheels for Meals bike ride, which benefits Alameda County’s Meals on Wheels program. Not surprisingly, our largest group ever turned out to help the Alzheimer’s Association. Over 75% of CEI’s participants suffer from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Go PACE Setters!

Celebrating ties with Family Bridges at Hong Fook Honoring our seniors’ diverse tastes and cultures plays an important role in our seniors’ efforts to stay healthy and independent with CEI’s PACE program. Hong Fook seniors entertained us when CEI celebrated a new partnership with Family Bridges’ Hong Fook Adult Day Health Center in Oakland’s Chinatown. This allows eligible seniors to receive PACE services while continuing to attend the lively Hong Fook center, and CEI’s Hong Fook participants can now enjoy social activities, lunch, and therapies at the Hong Fook center with staff and other seniors with familiar faces, voices, foods, and languages. Seniors at the busy Hong Fook day center attend a weekly farmers’ market, participate in a variety of tai chi classes, and play hundreds of rounds of Mahjong every day.

Recreation therapy helps seniors stay sharp – and it’s fun! CEI’s activity staff brings in therapists who specialize in dance and movement to help seniors get strong, improve balance, and stay sharp. And it’s fun! Qiqong, laughing yoga, soothing music, candle light, and relaxation therapy, are offered along with drumming and rhythm, dancing and singing. These activities ensure we can bring out the best in seniors of all abilities, even those with cognitive challenges. Seniors at our San Pablo PACE Center competed against other seniors nationwide on a “Walk Across America” by logging walks around the block and on our treadmills while learning about the geography and history of the different states on their route.

To Walk Again June 1946: The “Super Chief” overnight train pulled away from Oakland’s iconic 16th Street Station. Standing on the platform was Helen Peppers, 18 years old. Helen had just arrived from hot and humid rural Virginia to join her husband at the Alameda Naval base. She found work as an evening-wear model at Oakland’s trendiest boutiques. Helen walked the runway for I. Magnin, Christina’s, Pam’s Imports, and Wakefield Boutique. “I got started modeling gowns at a church fundraiser.” She points at her feet, clad in strappy, low-heeled black dancing shoes. “Three-inch heels were the norm back then.” She demonstrates her signature walk with a sashay and a twirl. Laughing, she adds, “And I got really good at it!”

“I trust CEI. If anything happens, they are there for me.” After joining CEI-PACE, Helen needed surgery for a painful hip. She spent seven months in a wheelchair while rehabilitating at a nursing facility. “I desperately wanted to walk again. CEI provided everything a person could ask for – at the nursing home, at the hospital, and back at my home. Once I had to call in the middle of the night. I trust CEI. If anything happens, they are there for me.” Helen wouldn’t miss her Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Josie Barrow Center. “I love the people here. CEI gives me the opportunity to have fun with other seniors. I appreciate what I have.” A mother of seven children aged 59 to 70, Helen now lives alone in Oakland, in a senior apartment. Recently, she traded in her three-inch heels for a rod and reel! Helen and her two daughters go fishing every chance they get. “It’s my passion,” she says, showing a photo of herself cradling a 12-pound catfish. “CEI is the best thing that ever happened to me!”

Answer to a Prayer Farha Raham and her mother Willie Oliver can’t stop smiling. They radiate joy in each other’s presence. But there was a time when both of them lost their smiles. “Miss Willie,” 91 years old, lived alone in Arkansas and experienced declining health, frequent falls, and dementia. Farha moved Miss Willie to her home in Richmond and became the sole caregiver. Farha was also caring for her disabled husband. She felt overwhelmed, financially strapped, and exhausted.

“It’s so good to see Miss Willie smile and be herself again.” Then two things happened in the same week. First, her grandson’s teacher told her about CEI. Then, a few days later, an unsolicited CEI marketing brochure arrived in her mailbox. Farha says it was the answer to her prayers. “Without the pamphlet, I would not have followed up and I would have done home care instead. To this day, we don’t know how it came to us, but we are so thankful that it did.” When Miss Willie came to CEI in March 2015, life got so much better. “I’d gone from loving her and enjoying being with her to just caring for her all the time. Now I have my energy back. I can spend time with her and not be thinking about what I need to do for her next. I can just be her daughter.” Farha credits the skill and dedication of Miss Willie’s care team at CEI and the interaction Miss Willie has with her peers. “Now she’s very talkative, where before she wasn’t saying anything. It’s so good to see her smile and be herself again.” “CEI has helped us tremendously. I don’t think I would have survived if it hadn’t been for CEI.”

7 in 10 people will need care 7 in 10 people aged 65+ will need long-term care by the year 2050. CEI is a non-profit provider of the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly, also known as PACE. PACE is a comprehensive, coordinated health plan for seniors age 55 and over with chronic, complex medical needs. Most of the costs for care are eligible for reimbursement from Medicare and Medi-Cal. PACE is a powerful national model for long-term care, offered through 116 organizations in 32 states.

10 Impact Report 2015

CEI devotes 93 cents of every dollar to care for CEI’s elderly participants, even after State and Federal capitation payments have been cut by 25% over the past five years. Business improvements and technology upgrades completed in 2015 are helping CEI leverage our expertise and collect and study meaningful data to manage our seniors’ health and improve our services, and to anticipate and plan accordingly. Individuals, organizations, businesses, and foundations that support CEI can be assured that contributions are used efficiently to keep frail East Bay seniors healthy.

The number of seniors enrolled at CEI grew by 37 percent last year. The need for PACE services is escalating as our population ages. Through robust outreach and partnerships, CEI is connecting with more people in the East Bay who need PACE services. CEI’s census has grown from approximately 500 in 2012 to nearly 700 in 2015. Yet, it is estimated that more than 1,700 seniors living in the Alameda County and West Contra Costa areas we serve are potentially eligible for CEI’s PACE services. CEI’s goal is to meet this growing need.

Staying healthy at home Gearing up and getting out In 2015, CEI’s baseball fans enjoyed trips to the Oakland Coliseum to watch the Oakland A’s, boarded our buses for an old fashioned BBQ cookout at Crown Memorial State Beach, and marveled at the array of animals at the Oakland Zoo. We walked and rolled together to the Summer Series at City Center Plaza to clap, sing, and dance to live outdoor performances of reggae, blues, and rock & roll. “Getting out” for fun and socializing stimulates memories, fosters friendships and lifts spirits. Staff and seniors celebrate our holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays together along with community volunteers and participants’ families.

CEI participants have medical conditions that qualify them for skilled nursing care. Yet 96 percent are able to live at home with CEI’s support. Every senior’s condition and situation is different – personalized care plans updated at least every six months and vigilant monitoring enable CEI to intervene early and often to keep problems from becoming more serious. CEI’s coordination of care empowers seniors to remain healthy and live independently longer than would otherwise be possible.

Healthy meals at CEI and at home In 2015, CEI served almost 100 tons of healthy food to its participants. This included 106,500 meals in homes and at PACE centers. The food is nutritious, tasty, and easy to eat. CEI dieticians create menus that honor the ethnic diversity of CEI participants and meet dietary needs. Home-bound seniors can have meals delivered at home.

Innovation Finds Funding Grants and personal donations to the Fund for Elders’ Independence create innovative programs that enhance CEI’s core work with frail seniors and their families.

Keeping Seniors Safe at Home Home safety is important to CEI’s participants striving to live at home. Any fall can become a life-changing event for a senior. “Keeping Seniors Safe at Home” is the result of a partnership between CEI and Rebuilding Together Oakland (RTO). RTO provides low-income homeowners with critical home repairs and accessibility modifications. FEI sought help from the Heffernan Foundation to fund 10 home modifications, at a cost of $300 each. The program enlists RTO’s skilled volunteers to install safety equipment, hand-held shower heads, grab bars, shower seats, and smoke detectors and instruct seniors on how to use them.

Generous Donors and Hardworking Trustees “Next to raising money, FEI’s biggest contribution to CEI is helping to build name recognition in the community,” says Lenore McDonald, Director of Development. “Fundraising and leveraging our community partnerships gives us the opportunity to introduce CEI to people who didn’t know anything about us.” “It is our duty to help donors understand how their gifts benefit CEI,” she adds. “Every donation helps enable our most vulnerable seniors to get the care they need to age with dignity and remain living independently in our communities far longer than would be possible without CEI’s help. Our trustees are proud to assist CEI to get this important job done.” The Fund for Elders’ Independence has twelve enthusiastic Trustees helping to increase CEI’s visibility across new sectors and attract additional donors. Last year, 143 new donors contributed to CEI and all our donors contributed a total of $290,000 in 2015. FEI’s hardworking board and generous donors made CEI’s biggest fundraiser, our annual PACE Party, a tremendous success where 250 guests raised more than $124,000! Our next PACE Party takes place on May 5, 2016.

CEI is grateful for FEI’s trustees, who help us meet new supporters, champion CEI’s cause and show appreciation to those who are making a difference at CEI.

A Match Made in Heaven Amy Kimmel was seeking an opportunity to contribute her time and leadership talents to a non-profit that was making an impact in her community. Amy met board members from CEI’s foundation, Fund for Elders’ Independence (FEI) at The Volunteer Center’s annual Board Match event in San Francisco in 2013 and they have been partners supporting CEI ever since. She believes that the country’s health care system has not done a good job taking care of vulnerable seniors. CEI’s PACE model of care for the elderly inspires her as a Board member and FEI donor. Amy believes that the FEI Board has three major roles. “It is our responsibility to fill gaps in funding, get CEI’s name out into the community, and teach new people about the organization.” When she tells CEI’s story, Amy reports, “Many people recognize our vans, but don’t really know what they’re for. People become engaged with CEI when we explain about all-inclusive care and the care team’s level of involvement and commitment to our participants.” “The FEI Board is so new that we’re still finding our feet,” says Amy. “The Board will continue to grow our annual PACE Party and create new ways to get more people involved with CEI. More importantly, we plan to let our donors know how much we appreciate them.”

Amy Kimmel became Chair of Fund for Elders’ Independence Trustees in 2015.
