SERVING THE SENIOR COMMUNITY

Momiji MattersF a l l 2 0 1 9

MOMIJI HEALTH CARE SOCIETY IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION WHOSE OBJECTIVE IS TO ASSIST SENIORS, PRIMARILY OF JAPANESE CANADIAN DESCENT, AGE WITH RESPECT, DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE.

The Momiji Family is mourn-ing the loss of Dr. Fred AkiraSunahara. Dr. Sunahara wasnot only a Founder of MomijiHealth Care Society but hewas also a beloved tenant.His daughter, and our formerChair of the Board of Direc-tors, Pam Waintraub reflectson his life. Sincere condo-lences to Dr. Sunahara’s fam-ily and friends. He is greatlymissed.

Dr. Fred Akira Sunahara was bornto Kazuye Sunahara and TatsuHigashi in Vancouver, BC. Both

parents originated from Kumamoto-Kenin Japan and immigrated to Canada in theearly 1900’s. Living in modest comfort,Kazuye was a well-respected and articu-late member of the community, whoowned and operated a fishing boat. Tatsusupplemented the family income by run-ning a rooming house that was home to

many families at one time or another.Fred was eighteen when the intern-

ment of Japanese began on the Canadianwest coast and he could not accompanyhis family to New Denver. He and severalother young nisei men were given a one-way ticket, $25 from the government, andpacked into an uncomfortable train for asix-day ride to shovel coal in London,Ontario. With little money and uncertain

future, he eventually obtainedhis undergraduate degree in1948 and then his PhD inmedical research physiologyat UWO.

Fred and Grace AkikoShintani married in 1952 andstarted their family inToronto. Fred later became aProfessor of Pharmacology atthe University of TorontoSchools of Medicine, Den-tistry and Pharmacy. Evenwith their young family andhis growing career as an edu-

cator and scientist, Fred was active withthe Toronto Japanese Canadian CitizensAssociation (JCCA) and Grace belongedto the Toronto Nisei Women’s Club.

Fred’s concerns for the Isseis rose ashis parents began to age, and his promi-nence in the community grew as he pro-vided a confident and persuasive voice forthe Japanese Canadian community.

A TRIBUTE TO DR. FRED AKIRA SUNAHARA

The Momiji family was also saddened tolearn about the passing of Roy & MaryMatsui. Roy was the architect responsiblefor the Momiji Seniors Centre, as well asmany other projects throughout hisdecades-long career, including hotels,condominiums, and office buildings inand around Toronto. Roy was a WW II

veteran and was awarded a GovernorGeneral’s Medal in 1980 and a MasseyMedal in 1968. Mary was a beloved edu-cator, an accomplished pianist and an aviddownhill skier – a passion that she sharedwith Roy and that they both participatedin well into their 80s. They also enjoyedtraveling and mall walking. Sincere con-dolences to their family and friends.

AS THE WORLD TURNS: The Executive Director’s Musings

The Act of Planning vs. Acting on a Plan

Some people say “Planning and not act-ing upon it is nothing but dreaming while doing without a plan often ends up being wasted effort” or something to that effect.

Every organization – government, business or charity – strategizes. It lays out its intentions and how it plans on bringing them to fruition over time. Momiji Health Care Society is no excep-tion. Over the past six months our Board, management and representa-tives of the Momiji Foundation reviewed the current state of health and elder-care. We surveyed our clients and the community and deliberated the implica-tion of all that we have learned. The end result is a 5-year Strategic Plan that points the way forward for the organiza-tion. Once the plan as a whole is re-viewed and approved by the Board it will be shared with both internal and exter-nal stakeholders. Barring any surprises Momiji will be seeking to address the following main strategic priorities:

Enhance Financial Viability & Sustain-ability – Finding efficiencies in current operations, diversifying access to gov-ern- ment funding; and exploring social enterprise opportunities.

Build A Quality Culture – Committing to continuous quality improvement across Momiji and seeking to become an accredited centre of excellence in care for older adults.

Develop Human Capital – Optimizing how Momiji attracts, develops and utilizes people in support of the Momiji mission.

Adapt to The Evolving Health Care En-vironment – Acknowledging that how healthcare is funded and delivered in Ontario is evolving and that Momiji will seek to adapt and optimize its role within that changing environment.

Diversify Services – Offering more in-home and community based support for seniors of Japanese descent and other cultural orientation in new and different ways than before.

These are ambitious objectives. But achieving them is desirable and neces-sary if Momiji wishes to enable seniors of Japanese and other cultural orienta-tion to enjoy good health, dignity and the best quality of life. Momiji is commit-ted to being a transparent organization. Making its intentions known enables our supporters, funders and community to hold us accountable. Now that we have made our plan the next step is for us to act on it and seek its realization. I look forward to keeping the Momiji family and its friends apprised along the way as progress is made.

Momiji’s volunteers help in many differ-ent ways whether it is assisting with aSeniors Active Living Centre program,helping with our Dining programs (bothhere at Momiji or in the community) orsorting, selling or cooking for one of ourmany fundraising events. No matter whatrole our volunteers play, we understandhow important it is to say thanks. After

all, in the past year alone, these individu-als provided us with 42,732 hours of vol-unteer work. This is an increase of 18%from the previous year and is equivalentto the working hours of almost 22 full-time staff. This assistance is particularlycrucial for a small organization with lim-ited resources. As a way of saying thanks,in July, we welcomed 160 volunteers toour annual Volunteer Appreciation Event.This year’s theme was “Our volunteersare out of this world!” Volunteers weretreated to a delicious barbecue lunch buf-fet that was prepared by our staff andBoard members – a format that is eco-nomical and well-received by the atten-dees. They were entertained by the FiestaFilipina Dance Troupe and “Same Same,But Different” with Ryan Casselman.Thank you to all of our volunteers foryour tremendous devotion to Momiji andof course, the seniors.

MOMIJI’S VOLUNTEERS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!

He spoke at every opportunity to raiseawareness and fulfil a dream of rebuildinga community for the Isseis. Fred and theMomiji committee searched for partner-ships, government support, and beganstrong fund-raising appeals to the com-munity.

Proudly, Fred and fellow founders cutthe ribbon to open the Momiji SeniorsCentre in 1992. Since 1978, he served asMomiji’s first Chair of the Board and lateras an Honorary Director and belovedfounder.

In 2014 Fred became a Momiji tenantand tasted the fruits of his labour by re-ceiving services and participating in pro-grams. He chose to live the rest of his lifeat Momiji and my family came to fullyappreciate the profoundness of the carereceived at Momiji. True to our guidingprinciples, the care provided was kind andattentive, while always respectful tomaintain his dignity and independence. I am so proud of Momiji and my familyis eternally grateful that my father had achance to experience it personally.

Fundraising Events

JAPONICA – ALL THINGS JAPANESE

Government funding does not cover all operating costs so Momiji continues to rely on the generosity of donors and the community for help. Donations received from memorial and general gifts and the annual Christmas Campaign, as well as funds raised at events like the Bazaar and Bowlathon are critical to sustaining programs and services.

Ningyo. Kimono. Kokeshi. Add in some beautiful dishes, stun-ning artwork and gorgeous Ikebana and you have Japonica.Now in its third year, Japonica continues to grow each year inattendance and funds raised. Held yearly in September, all ofthe items that are sold at theevent have been donated withthe majority of the items com-ing from families who have aconnection to Momiji. How-ever, as word has begun tospread about the event, we nowreceive calls from people whojust want to make sure theirfamily “treasures” go to a goodhome.

This year, there was also aJaponica Room that highlightedsome very special items. And inaddition to our raffle, shopperscould purchase “Lucky Bags” –

which was a big hit. Of course, no Japanese event would becomplete without some delicious food prepared by our volun-teers. This year’s offerings included Bento Boxes, Somen withToppings and Manju. New to the menu were Chow Mein sand-

wiches and our now famousJaponica Dog. Thanks to all ofour volunteers, especially ourJaponica Committee led byMayumi Maemura, over$26,000 was raised. We arethankful to our dedicated Com-mittee members who donatedmuch of their summer in orderto clean, repair (if necessary)and catalogue the donations toensure that this event was asuccess. We hope to see you atnext year’s event: Saturday,

September 12th.

Our annual Bowlathon continues to beone of Momiji’s most successful (andmost fun!) fundraising events and thisyear was no exception. This Family-Friendly Event has had participation frommany of our Momiji Seniors (unfortu-nately, less than in previous years gone

by); their families and friends, colleaguesand community members. As usual, ourfive-pin teams bowled at Parkway Bowlwhile our ten-pin teams bowled at WorldBowl. After bowling, the bowlersattended a Bento Box Dinner and AwardsCeremony at the Frank H. Hori Commu-nity Centre (Momiji Centre), whichincluded a barrage of Sponsorship Prizes,

door prizes, and raffle draws. This year, we introduced a Corporate

Sponsorship Program, which encouragedcorporations and organizations to enterteams to participate in our first ever Exec-utive Director’s Challenge. Five corpora-tions accepted the Challenge and wereeligible to compete with Eric Hong(Momiji’s Executive Director) and histeam for the Momiji Cup. After some verytight games, Eric and his team came outon top. Congratulations to Eric and histeam. Adding this new element to our

Bowlathon helped us raise an incredible$52,000 this year! But the real winnersare our seniors, as funds are used to sup-port programs and services that Momijiprovides to our tenants and the commu-nity. Even more incredible is that over$350,000 has been raised since theBowlathon’s inception.

Special thanks to the BowlathonCommittee, led by Gayle Cali, ourbowlers and their sponsors; and a “BigThank You” to our Corporate Sponsors.We hope to see you all back at the lanesnext year. Mark your calendars for Satur-

day May 23, 2020, for our 15th AnnualFundraising Bowlathon. And don’t for-get…new bowlers and new corporatesponsors are always welcome!

VANDERMEER WINTER

FUNDRAISING PROGRAM:

Vandermeer Nursery has grown high

quality plants in Ajax,including poinsettias andcyclamen, for over 50years. These high qualityplants are the focus oftheir annual WinterFundraising program.The program includeswinter-decorated basketsand evergreen planters ina wide range of prices.Under the program,

Momiji purchases the plants at a discountand sells them at cost.These seasonal plants andplanters can spruce up yourhome or can be given as agift. We even deliver to ourtenants! All items will beavailable to be picked up atMomiji on Wednesday,December 4th. Pre-paymentis necessary.

As in the past, themoney raised from the Hol-

iday TreatP r o g r a mwill be designated to theSeniors Active Living Cen-tre (SALC) but this year,money raised from both ofthese programs will be des-ignated for a particular pur-pose. In partnership withthe Alzheimer Society ofToronto, the SALC wasable to offer two very pop-ular programs to theseniors: Dance! Dance!Dance! with the National

Ballet and the Momiji Singers. Unfortu-nately, funding from the Alzheimer Soci-ety will run out at the end of the year so

these programs will no longer be avail-able. The money raised from the HolidayTreat Program and the Vandermeer Win-ter Fundraising Program will allow thesevery popular programs to continue –hopefully on a monthly basis.

To place your Holiday Treat or Van-dermeer Winter Fundraising programorder, please contact Sheri-Lynn at416.261.6683, ext. 259. The order formswill be available at Momiji, on our web-site or on our Facebook page in the nearfuture.

Ittakes hundreds of volunteers to make thisevent successful so if you are interestedand have some time, please contact Jovel,our Volunteer Services Manager at416.261.6683, ext. 234.

Upcoming Fundraising Events

Under the leadership of Linda Oikawa, our Blowout Yard Sale Extravaganza was held in early June. As usual, the prices were drastically reduced since the goal of this event is to sell as much as possible. This year, selling the items was even more crucial as storage space at Momiji becomes less available. The shoppers – approximately 500 – spent almost $5,000 buying goods and

delicious food at the BBQ and bake table. When presales, dona-tions and post sales (including sales to Ajax Auto Wreckers, RE: Reading and Value Village, under their FUNDrive program) are added to the event day total, almost $7,000 was raised. Next year’s Yard Sale will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2020. We hope to see you there!

D O N O R L I S T

Instead of buying a gift, some of ourdonors choose to make an “in honour of”donation to our Seniors Active LivingCentre (SALC) for a special occasion.These donations are mostly earmarked forour very popular Lug-A-Mug event andare used to help enhance the event.Recently, SALC received a very generousdonation from Kiyo & Sylvia Ise’s grand-daughter to help support Seniors Day. Thedonation was used to provide honorari-ums to our entertainers, enhance the con-tents of the “goodie bags” and purchasethe cake for over 220 guests – all thingsthat are not covered as part of the govern-ment funding that we receive. It was theirgranddaughter’s hope that if other grand-children heard how easy it was to help,that they might consider helping too.Thank you Mika for this wonderful gift! L to R: Kiyo, Mika & Sylvia

When the Momiji’s Seniors Residence(MSR) first opened in 1992, the tenantswere active and independent and theiraverage age was 77. The tenants lookedafter Momiji, taking care of the gardeningand holding fundraising activities like theBazaar and social events like the TenantBBQ. Only one full-time Momiji staffperson was required as well as one part-time Personal Support Worker (PSW)who helped with light housekeeping.

Today, Momiji is very different. Theaverage age of our tenants is now 89.With age comes increasingly complexcare needs, much more than a conven-tional supportive housing program canprovide. Momiji now has 26 PSWsworking in the Momiji Residence and atypical work week for these PSWs hasevolved from 25 hours per week of lighthousekeeping to increasingly demandingpersonal care at 517 hours per week.

As our tenants age, their care needsincrease which unfortunately creates anever widening gap between the financialsupport we receive – from funders includ-ing government and the Momiji Founda-tion and what the actual costs are of our

support services. As our Executive Direc-tor pointed out in his article, Momiji hasto adapt to the evolving health care envi-ronment and as part of this adaptation,Momiji Management has recentlyapproved a new Admission and Termina-tion of Tenancy Policy.

The new policy acknowledges thatthe MSR is an independent living facilityfor seniors who require some care in orderto remain living independently, but onlya finite amount of funding for certain ser-vices is provided. Admission policies tothe Seniors Residence have been estab-lished to ensure that Momiji can meet thetenant’s care needs safely and within ourresources. Any potential tenant must meeta number of criteria, including being cog-nitively able to live independently butrequiring some level of care within thescope of Momiji services (i.e. PersonalCare – assistance with personal hygiene,15 minute per visit maximum and lighthome making).

Discharge policies (i.e. termination oftenancy) have also been established forsituations in which a tenant’s needs havebecome too great or complex to be safely

met by Momiji staff. These situationsinclude: when a tenant requires twoMomiji staff members to transfer him/her,if a tenant requires 24-hour supervision ornursing care, or a tenant displaysbehaviours that could be harmful to them-selves or to others (i.e. wandering oraggression). Momiji has an obligation toensure the safety of all tenants.

To ensure consistent implementationof the new policy, an Admission and Ter-mination of Tenancy Committee (ATTC)has been created. This ad hoc staff com-mittee includes the Director of SeniorsResidence, the Director of Care and theClient Intervention Worker. This Commit-tee has the responsibility for decisionsregarding admission to Momiji SeniorsResidence, and terminations of tenancywhen necessary. In the event of termina-tion, Momiji staff will make every effortto work cooperatively with the tenant’sfamily or Power of Attorney/SubstituteDecision Maker to ensure a safe andtimely transfer to a more appropriate caresetting.

Our Admission and Termination ofTenancy Policy can be viewed on ourwebsite or a copy can be obtained by con-tacting Momiji.

Momiji would like to invite all seniorsand caregivers to these Caregiver ses-sions. Wednesday, November 20th - Wills andPower of Attorney Seminar. This sessionwill highlight the importance of having awill and a Power of Attorney and howessential it is to plan for the unexpected.The seminar is organized by Momiji and

Japanese Social Services (JSS). It will beheld at the Japanese Canadian CulturalCentre (6 Garamond Court, Toronto).Tuesday, January 28, 2020: Driving andDementia. This informative seminar willbe provided by the Alzheimer Society ofToronto and will address many questions,including does a diagnosis of dementiaautomatically mean the person has to stop

driving? Join us to learn how to navigatethis difficult issue – one of the most diffi-cult that families and caregivers will face.

For further information on any ofthese events and/or to register, please con-tact Momiji at 416-261-6683. Ask forKeiko or Melanie (ext. 249).

Support ServicesMOMIJI’S NEW ADMISSION AND TERMINATION OF TENANCY POLICY

Around The Buildingby Yoneko Westergaard,

Director of Seniors ResidenceMomiji has said good bye to two Mainte-nance staff members who were with usfor many years and welcomed a newmember.

Hiroshi Maeda has worked as theBuilding Caretaker since 2010. He is acalm and collected person and an enjoy-

able and interesting conversationalist. Hispresence will be missed around the build-ing by staff and tenants. Hiroshi is look-ing forward to enjoying his retirement.

Suen Sing Lee retired from his posi-tion in May to pursue other goals. Wewish Sing all the best for his futureendeavors.

Ling Yin (Marcus) Wong joined the

maintenance staff part-time at the end ofSeptember. Marcus is currently a studentat Seneca and has worked in propertymanagement before. We are delighted towelcome Marcus to our team.

Maintenance is still looking foranother part-time staff member and onefull-time staff member to begin inNovember.

Caregiver Programs

I was approached in early April by afriend, Vic Kitagawa, and by a formerUnited Church minister, Rev. SeiichiAriga, to find some Nisei students whoattended high school in Lemon Creek andTashme, B.C. during the World War IIinternment of Japanese Canadians. Thepurpose of NHK was to produce a docu-

mentary to show the humanitarian side ofthe War, and to highlight the dedicationand kindness of several United Church ofCanada missionaries in helping highschool students with their education. Inparticular was Frances Gertrude Hamil-ton, who inspired these students.

Together with Susan Hidaka, we man-

aged to find Momiji residents MiyoNakamura and Tad Oyagi, and non-resi-dent Harold Miwa. They were inter-viewed by Masami Ukon, SeniorProducer of NHK Enterprises, and NanaoAkanuma, Researcher, and later filmed bycameraman, Jin Harada, at the MomijiSeniors Centre. We provided the facili-ties, scheduled interview times, andserved refreshments. It was a pleasurehelping them.

Filming also took place in Ottawawith Dr. Henry Shibata being inter-viewed. He was in Lemon Creek and wasinspired by the missionaries, especiallyFrances Gertrude Hamilton to become adoctor and teacher. After the War, he andMs. Hamilton continued to stay in touch.

The documentary was shown live onNHK-World Japan on Friday, August 23rd,2019. As we all gathered around our com-puters that night we were so impressedand proud of our seniors for sharing theirstories. Appearing on World Wide TVwas a major accomplishment.

The following video link will beavailable for one year, until August 2020.https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3016050/

In July, Momiji tenant Rose Aihoshi waspresented with a special volunteer appre-ciation award by the Honourable JohnMcKay, Scarborough-Guildwood MP, athis annual Community BBQ and Volun-teer Appreciation event. Rose was one ofthe first tenants to move into Momiji andhas always been an active volunteer –whether it is leading the weekly morningexercises for other tenants, making manjufor sale at our fundraising events or lead-ing tours of Momiji.

NHK is Japan's national broadcasting organization. A crew traveled from Japan to capture this story. Amy Kunihiro and Susan Hidaka are Momiji tenants. Their tireless efforts provided invaluable assistance to the NHK team.

If you have visited Momijilately, as you enter through themain doors into the Commu-nity Centre, you may havenoticed that we have set up anew kiosk so that we can sellJapanese treasures throughoutthe year. We have a wideselection of items for saleincluding dolls, artwork and tea cups. Thekiosk officially opened during Japonica

and will be staffed on Tuesdays andThursdays (to coincide with our Store and

Momiji Café opening) from10 am until 2 pm but itemscan always be purchasedduring business hours andmake great gifts! The fundsraised from the sale of theseitems will be reinvestedback into Momiji.

COME SEE OUR NEW KIOSK!

At our Annual General Meeting, we saidgoodbye to four long-time members andwelcomed two new members.

Susan Hidaka completes her secondstint as a Board member – 17 years intotal. Originally she joined the Board in1994, shortly after she became a tenant,serving for six years. She rejoined theBoard in 2008 and even after her officialterm ended two years ago, she acceptedtwo one-year extensions. Susan’s volun-teer involvement in the Japanese Cana-dian community, including being a“Redress Warrior” has been instrumentalin helping Momiji build stronger rela-tionships with other organizations. Herknowledge of communications has beenan asset to many. We are thankful thatSusan will continue to serve on Momiji’sQuality Committee.

Pam’s leadership has been invalu-able to the progress of Momiji as a lead-ing provider of services to seniors in ourcommunity.
