Sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, the Margaret Anna Cusack Care Center’s caring community offers the frail and infirm elderly, persons of all faiths, and the poor, a healing ministry based on gospel values, our Catholic heritage and our commitment to “Peace through Justice.”

Our central belief in the sacredness of life and the dignity of each person prompts us to promote, nurture and sustain quality of care, enabling our residents to live out their days in comfort, compassion and peace.

Vision Statement

Margaret Anna Cusack Care Center will...

• Provide a broad array of continuing care programs and services that are self-sustaining, financially viable and mission-driven

• Understand its community and strive to address their care needs by being responsive

and flexible

• Provide quality care in a person-centered environment, offer the least restrictive setting

to those it cares for and embrace culture change in all activities

• Value its employees and reflect the diversity of its Jersey City community in its delivery system

• Collaborate within the corporate health care system and with other partners to further mission and business goals

Welcome to our 2013 Donor Impact Report

Dear Friends,

It is our pleasure to share with you our 2013 Donor Impact Report. In its pages we highlight activities and events made possible through the generous support of you, our loyal donors, for the benefit of our frail elderly residents.

Perhaps you contributed to our Healing Garden Appeal, or remembered a loved one by placing a star on our Blessing Tree, participated in our 50/50 Raffle or joined us in celebration of our generations at our Annual Generations Luncheon. Or, maybe you came to visit our residents, helped with a party, held a frail hand. We want you to know that your participation, no matter how large or small, has made such a difference in the lives of those in our care.

As you may know, several years ago we implemented a new initiative – the provision of sub-acute, or post-acute rehabilitative care to patients who are transitioning from hospital to home on our first floor nursing unit. We cannot be happier with the success of this service and the personal successes of those who chose to come to us for their care.

However, we are aware that to remain current and competitive, we must expand and enhance this service. To this end, we are planning an exciting make-over of our Therapy Department and will purchase more ergonomic, state-of-the-art equipment.

Finally, I’d like to close this letter as I opened it: with gratitude. Thank you for sharing in our mission of service to an oft-forgotten population and for being an integral part in our success. We hope you will join with us as we move into the future and continue the legacy of our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace.

Mission Statementb o a r d o f t r u s t e e s

Thomas P. Sheehy, Jr. Chief Executive Officer and Administrator

a legacy of caringSince our founding by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace in 1891, we have provided care to the blind and elderly of all faiths first as St. Joseph’s Home for the Blind and since 2002, as the Margaret Anna Cusack Care Center.

The Sister’s sponsorship and legacy of caring continues to this day. Guided by our Catholic values, our team of highly trained professionals provides high quality short-term medical and rehabilitative care as well as comprehensive long-term nursing care in a safe and nurturing environment. We are committed to providing an array of programs and services that add to the quality of life to those in our care with love, dignity and respect.

what sets us apart

Bishop Thomas A. Donato, D.D., shares a moment with a resident following a religious service at the

Center. ‘I am always so impressed by the loving care I see all around me here,’ he says. ‘I commend the staff for their devotion to the residents and the kindness

they extend to me. God Bless them all.’

• Annual 50/50 Raffle: Last year we again sold all 300 raffle tickets raising $30,000, the proceeds of which were designated toward the construction of our new Healing Garden.

• Tenth Annual Generations Luncheon: More than 150 family, friends and residents joined us at Casino in the Park to enjoy a late September afternoon of good company and good food as we honored longtime friend and benefactor, Quentin Kennedy. Hosted by our Circle of Friends Committee, the event raised over $105,000, with proceeds benefiting programs and services for our residents as well as our new Healing Garden.

• Blessing Tee Lighting: Again our Blessing Tree was ablaze with stars donated by friends and families in honor or in memory of loved ones raising over $25,000. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Jersey City, the Lighting Ceremony brought families and residents together to share in festive music and refreshments.

• Third Annual Resident Family Carnival: With a contribution of $2,000. from the United Way of Hudson County and volunteer support from the Rotary Club of Jersey City, our recreation room was transformed into an old fashioned carnival complete with a variety

of games and traditional fare. There were many happy faces and a steady stream of willing players who took turns attempting to topple our CEO in the dunk tank!

• Hudson City Lions Club Visits: Continuing a long tradition of support for our Center, the Lions Club generously donated time and resources to provide our residents with an evening of fine food and entertainment.

• Musical Entertainment, Activities and Holiday events: Every month our residents are entertained and engaged in a variety of exciting events or activities, including:

• Entertainment by visiting musicians, performers, school bands, etc. -Holiday Parties -Halloween Costume Party -Celebratory Dinners with Family -Birthday Parties -Summer BBQ’s -Ice Cream Socials -Poker Games, Bingo, Pokeno, Trivia, Crafts, Baking and so much more.

2013 at-a-glance Thanks to your support we are able to provide a wide variety of activities which ensure that our Center feels like home.

Our Sisters ever present in the life of the Center

Thanks to your support and our team of dedicated, caring professionals we are able to provide the best of care to nurture the mind, body and spirit. Whether it be to patients coming to us from the hospital requiring post-acute, rehabilitative care before transitioning home; or frailer residents who call Cusack home; or those with advanced dementia; or those requiring palliative care in the final days of their lives – we are here to meet their everyday needs.

There are many families who have become a part of our Cusack family entrusting their loved ones to our care in their time of need. Your support helps us provide some of the additional services necessary for the comfort and life-enhancing experiences that Medicare and Medicaid payments do not allow. Extra ‘niceties’ that bring joy to daily living – parties, holiday celebrations, musical entertainment, games, Mass in our Mary Chapel visits to our Peace or Healing Gardens – and so much more. If you could see the joy that all this brings, joy that for a moment in time brings back memories of good times gone by. Yes, if you could see the joy you would know that you have really made a difference.

Every one of our residents has a story to tell – a story of a life well lived; a life fulfilled with family, friends, work and community.

There were many happy customers who made a safe transition back to their homes and daily lives. One of those happy customers, Juanita Detura (left), was delighted to share her story with us.

Juanita slipped and fell at her home in Bayonne that left her requiring several stitches above her left eye and unable to walk. Before leaving the hospital she was told she needed physical therapy and would have to go to a rehab center. She made it known that she wanted to go nowhere else but the Cusack Care Center. Her husband, Frank, had received rehabilitative care at Cusack just a few years earlier after being temporarily paralyzed from a stroke. “Frank”, Juanita says, “was very active and very hesitant about going into a nursing

“On that unknown road of caring for a loved one with dementia. The staff at Cusack showed us the way - they

were our companions on a journey, a journey of love, friendship and peace.”

care facility, but finally agreed on one condition – that he’d be able to walk in time for the family’s annual vacation, which was just a few weeks away!” With patience and dedication from our caring healthcare professionals and support of his family, Frank was able to join in the family fun.

Juanita too needed to learn to walk again and receive assistance with her day to day routines. And, after just four weeks of extensive therapy by our physical and occupational therapists, she was on her way home. “Thank God for the people at Cusack and for the rehab center,” she said. “Every day I made an improvement.” According to Juanita, one of the things that makes the Center such a special place is its spiritual community where all residents are welcome to attend services held daily in the Center’s Mary Chapel.

Carmel Galasso also told us that it was the religious component that drew them to Cusack Care Center when the family was looking for placement for both her aunt and later for her mother, Adeline (right). “That and the unfailing dedication, care and concern from the staff – we soon knew that this was the only place for mom,” Carmel said. Like many families with loved ones in our care Adeline’s family were, she said,

Friends and dignitaries attended the dedication of the Healing Garden in October, 2013, which recognized the generous support of the Christ Hospital Foundation and other donors.

The Second Annual Summer Carnival held in July, for the enjoyment of our residents was made pos-sible in part by the generous support of the United Way of Hudson County.

Our residents always enjoy attending our Annual Generations Luncheon. Nearly 200 family and friends joined them on a sunny after noon in September in celebration of our Generations.

Pictured with his mother, resident Frances Kozoriz, Michael was one of the many supporters of our Annual Blessing Tree. Frances proudly holds a star that was placed on the Blessing Tree in her honor.

thank you.

Donor Support Up CloseThe revenue we receive for resident care and services comes primarily from Medicare and Medicaid. However these revenues do not allow us to provide some of the additional services necessary for the comfort and life-enhancing experiences of our residents. These include our Healing Garden, parties, holiday celebrations, entertainment – all of which were made possible by you, our donors.

Your continued support will ensure that we uphold our mission and protect the legacy handed down to us from the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Peace. Thank you.

Your I M P A C T for the Future

You Can Help Enhance Our Rehabilitative Therapy ServicesAlthough a therapy department was created for this service during the construction of our new building some ten or more years ago, it is fast outgrowing the space provided and the equipment is already outdated. Rehabilitative therapy is a vital part of the recovery process for our patients who come to us transitioning from hospital to home. As in all segments of medical care, advances in treatment are changing and improving constantly – more comprehensive, more extensive, all to ensure that the patient is ready to return home able to pick up their daily activities again. To achieve these goals for our patients, it is imperative that we provide an efficient, therapeutic space with state-of-the-art equipment.
