Nursing Director of the Year Award<br />
Sunni Herman, Executive Vice President, <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at Rockleigh<br />
The <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at Rockleigh is very proud to announce that Director of Nursing,<br />
Ericson Riguerra has received the prestigious “Director of Nursing of the Year<br />
Award” from the New Jersey Association Directors of Nursing Administration<br />
(NJADONA) at a presentation on April 15, <strong>2013</strong> in Atlantic City. The NJADONA is<br />
a non-profit association for long-term care facilities’ nursing administrators that<br />
concerns itself with legislation, standards of care, communication, continuing<br />
education, and scholarships.<br />
This is the highest award a nurse in a long-term care facility can receive from the<br />
State and is testament to Eric’s tremendous ability. Eric is one of the youngest ever<br />
to be honored. The honoree is chosen<br />
by a committee from nominations of<br />
peers, family members, and staff.<br />
Eric started as a nurse in 1998 at the<br />
<strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> & Rehabilitation Center<br />
in River Vale after completing his<br />
RN training at Bergen Community<br />
College. When the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at<br />
Rockleigh (JHR) opened in 2001, he<br />
became a charge nurse and, over<br />
time, moved up the ladder, becoming<br />
a Clinical Nurse Manager, Assistant<br />
Director of Nursing in 2006, and then<br />
Director three years later. Eric has a<br />
pivotal role in ensuring the highest<br />
quality of care provided to JHR’s residents.<br />
His job is not 9 to 5. He often<br />
comes in on weekends and off-shifts<br />
to provide appropriate supervision of staff and to speak with family members. His<br />
keen intuition and clinical knowledge help ensure the well-being of the residents.<br />
After receiving a standing ovation from over 500 attendees, Eric said, “it’s very<br />
flattering and an honor to receive this award. It has a lot of meaning to me.<br />
However, the award is for the entire staff in the building and the facility as well.<br />
I would not have received this award without the help of the staff—from the certified<br />
nursing assistants to the administrative nurses. In order to be a successful<br />
nurse, it’s important to show empathy and care for our residents and treat the staff<br />
with respect.”<br />
Eric came to the United States from the<br />
Philippines and received his training as<br />
a registered nurse in this country.<br />
Married to Lori, who is also a nurse,<br />
Eric is a resident of Bergenfield.<br />
On hand for the presentation were<br />
Chuck Berkowitz, President and CEO<br />
of the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family; Sunni<br />
Herman, Executive Vice President of<br />
the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at Rockleigh; Kathy<br />
Joven, JHR Assistant Director of<br />
Nursing; as well as many family members<br />
and friends.<br />
The <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> is proud to call someone<br />
of Eric’s caliber one of their own.<br />
Congratulations Eric!<br />

Photo Collection at Rockleigh and River Vale Draws Onlookers to a World Away<br />
Iris Rosendahl, Public Relations Coordinator, <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Foundation<br />
When the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at Rockleigh opened its<br />
doors in 2001, it was a state-of-the-art facility in<br />
every way, including its outstanding collection of<br />
photographs. These photographs were contributed<br />
by some gifted photographers who filled JHR’s<br />
hallways with beautiful and interesting examples<br />
of their work.<br />
“During the construction stage, we had discussions<br />
as to how we should go about creating art work for<br />
the facility,” said now President and CEO of the<br />
<strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family, Chuck Berkowitz. “We talked<br />
to Julian Hyman, M.D., the late Irving Swire, and<br />
Gordon Rapp. Each one, a very skilled photographer,<br />
offered me the opportunity to look at their<br />
collections. It was love at first sight! These wonderful<br />
photographers formed an Art Committee. They<br />
contributed their photos for the benefit of the<br />
residents and collaborated with us to choose individual<br />
photographs. They also worked with JHR’s<br />
engineers to correctly hang the photos.” The committee<br />
expanded to include Elaine Hyman, Julian’s<br />
wife and a talented sculptor, Roz Swire, Gail Bokor,<br />
and the late Syril Rubin.<br />
The Art Committee met every few weeks. At every<br />
meeting, Julian Hyman, Irving Swire, and Gordon<br />
Rapp each brought slides of their favorite photos<br />
taken on many local trips and during vacations to<br />
various countries. In order for a photo to be chosen<br />
for what became galleries on each floor of JHR, “all<br />
three members of the committee had to approve the<br />
choice,” said Dr. Hyman. Over a six month period,<br />
the group came up with the collection of photographs<br />
that still grace the walls of JHR and bring<br />
pleasure to residents and visitors alike.<br />
“We tried to make it as if you’ve traveled around<br />
the world,” said Julian Hyman, with photographs<br />
taken during visits each photographer had made all<br />
over the United States and to foreign countries.<br />
“We also set up a number of photos that were logically<br />
grouped together, such as animals, scenery,<br />
and people. It was decided to make all the prints<br />
20” x 30.” They had to be enlarged by someone very<br />
capable,” he added. So the committee turned to Fuji<br />
Film which had a small outdoor kiosk in<br />
Hackensack where they enlarge prints taken from<br />
slides. “Unfortunately Fuji closed down the kiosk<br />
because it was unprofitable,” Dr. Hyman explained.<br />
The committee then hired the Tenafly Camera Shop<br />
and Avigail Umanzor who complete the project.<br />
Dr. Hyman became interested in photography as a<br />
child when his folks bought him a small camera. “I<br />
Dr. Julian Hyman<br />
always took pictures,” he said, noting that his love<br />
of photography continued when he went to Korea<br />
during the war as an Army surgeon. Soon after his<br />
arrival, an officer ordered him to go to Pusan, located<br />
on the southernmost tip of the Korean<br />
Peninsula. He caught a flight on a DC3 where there<br />
was no place to sit other than the floor. However<br />
uncomfortable that trip was, his travels around<br />
Korea underscored his love of photography, which<br />
he has kept up to the present day.<br />
“My wife and I filled the walls of our house in<br />
Teaneck with our art for 50 years,” Julian said.<br />
“Elaine was a professional sculptor and we saved<br />
ten or so of her works as well as my photographs<br />
for display at our home.” In addition, the Hymans<br />
had exhibits of their work at galleries in New York<br />
City. “One gallery did a show of both our works—<br />
my wife’s in the front and mine in the back.”<br />
When the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Assisted</strong> <strong>Living</strong> in River<br />
Vale opened in 2007, “we went back to the original<br />
group and asked if they would repeat the process,”<br />
said Chuck Berkowitz. “They were very enthusiastic.<br />
Over the years, we’ve gotten rave reviews on<br />
the quality of the photos and the opportunity to see<br />
pictures of places you may never travel to.”<br />
“The photographs have really transformed JHAL<br />
from a health care facility to a homelike place,” said<br />
JHAL’s Executive Director, Lauren Levant. At the<br />
same time, “many visitors have said that coming to<br />
JHAL and seeing this collection is like visiting a<br />
museum.”

<strong>2013</strong> Strategic Planning<br />
Charles P. Berkowitz, President & CEO, <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family<br />
The <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family has formed a strategic planning committee to look forward<br />
as the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> had done many times over its 98 year history in an attempt to<br />
stay ahead of the curve in meeting the changing needs of the elderly in our catchment<br />
area. The committee consists of both members of our Boards of Directors and the<br />
executive leadership of each of our agencies. We are very pleased with those who<br />
have volunteered from the Boards of Directors and the committee is well balanced<br />
so that all of our entities are represented. The committee has met on two occasions<br />
and recommended to the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family Board of Directors that a consultant<br />
be retained to help us explore the many alternatives which lend themselves to the<br />
changing health care scene and to the unmet needs of the elderly in our community.<br />
At the April 25, <strong>2013</strong> meeting of the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family, this recommendation was<br />
approved and a search is now underway to identify those professionals who could<br />
assist in accomplishing this initiative. We have identified a number of outstanding<br />
candidates with the help of the committee members and if you have a suggestion, we<br />
are open to it.<br />
The last strategic planning committee in the 1990’s was responsible for laying the<br />
tracks for the accomplishment of developing, planning and overseeing the building<br />
of the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at Rockleigh in 2001 and the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> <strong>Assisted</strong> <strong>Living</strong> in<br />
2005. That process started over 10 years before and consisted of working with the<br />
community to ascertain their insight as to the needs in Bergen County. The longterm<br />
care community of the <strong>Jewish</strong> Federation of NNJ played a role in this process.<br />
Members of that committee traveled with me to see a number of other facilities which<br />
were state-of-the-art at the time. We traveled west, south and north to see these so<br />
that we were in a better position to move forward. They were also involved in the<br />
sale of the Jersey City facilities.<br />
During these two committee meetings a number of ideas were discussed as potential<br />
projects that ranged from housing, a Continuing Care Retirement Community and/or<br />
independent living for both low and moderate income units; a vocational/special<br />
needs facility; additional long-term care beds; expanded outpatient rehabilitation<br />
services; or infrastructure/office space for the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family, Finance Office,<br />
<strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Foundation of NNJ and the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at <strong>Home</strong> services. Other<br />
thoughts ranged from a research center for geriatrics, a restaurant for those living in<br />
housing, or housing for staff.<br />
It is anticipated that after picking a consultant and refining exactly which services we<br />
determine would provide the greatest benefit for the community, that members of<br />
the committee will again explore those services through some travel to see the leaders<br />
in the field.<br />
In addition to looking at services which will require the construction of new infrastructure,<br />
we will explore services such as the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the<br />
Elderly (PACE). This program is national and provides comprehensive long-term<br />
care services for Medicaid and Medicare recipients that enable them to remain in<br />
their own home. The common theme in most of these programs is to create a way for<br />
the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> Family and its constituent agencies to enable the elderly to remain<br />
in their own home.<br />
We know that you will join the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> in these endeavors as you have always<br />
done in the past and look forward to your support of our meeting the needs of the<br />
elderly in our community.<br />

Training Therapy Dog as Bat Mitzvah Project<br />
Iris Rosendahl, Public Relations Coordinator, <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong><br />
Foundation<br />
Sophie Winters, who lives with her<br />
family in Demarest, NJ, decided to do<br />
her bat mitzvah project as a volunteer<br />
at the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at Rockleigh. She<br />
trained her black Labrador “Sam,”<br />
short for Samson, as a therapy dog<br />
and visited residents at JHR on a<br />
regular basis, usually on Sunday<br />
mornings. In addition, Sophie decided<br />
to ask those who attended her bat<br />
mitzvah on March 9th at Temple<br />
Emanu-El in Closter to<br />
contribute to one of<br />
three organizations<br />
rather than give her a<br />
gift. The three groups<br />
are: <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong> at<br />
Rockleigh; Hackensack<br />
University Medical<br />
Center, in memory of<br />
her father’s father; or<br />
the Pat Summitt<br />
Foundation, in honor<br />
of the head coach of<br />
the University of Tennessee basketball<br />
team who has been diagnosed with<br />
early Alzheimer’s disease, and in<br />
memory of Sophie’s great grandmother,<br />
Goldie who suffered from the<br />
same affliction. “I had a specific reason<br />
for each one. It was closely related<br />
to me or a family member,” Sophie<br />
said. More than $3,000 has been<br />
donated to the JHR on her behalf.<br />
“Training Sam took six months,“<br />
Sophie said. She and her dog had to<br />
pass a test given by Therapy Dog<br />

International to be certified. The test<br />
consisted of 15 tasks that had to be<br />
successfully completed. “Thirteen<br />
were easy, but two were tough and I<br />
wasn’t sure we were going to pass the<br />
test. Training Sam required a lot of<br />
repetition. It didn’t happen overnight<br />
because he didn’t follow commands<br />
right away. But it was worth it. I’m<br />
still enjoying it,” Sophie explained.<br />
Her mother Nancy adds that “she has<br />
seen several residents<br />
regularly and they<br />
look forward to seeing<br />
Sophie. Sophie enjoys<br />
seeing how happy it<br />
makes them and she’s<br />
sad when she has to<br />
leave.”<br />
Asked what satisfaction<br />
she gets from her<br />
visits, Sophie says “I<br />
love animals. I love<br />
being around my dog. It’s something I<br />
have combined with something that<br />
helps other people.”<br />
Pet therapy is a regular part of the<br />
Recreation Therapy Program at the<br />
JHR, as well as at the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Home</strong><br />
<strong>Assisted</strong> <strong>Living</strong> in River Vale. JHR’s<br />
Director of Recreation, Tracey<br />
Couliboly said, “there are therapeutic<br />
benefits to holding pets. It can help<br />
lower blood pressure and reduce agitation.<br />
Great value can be found in the<br />
connection made between residents<br />
and pets.”<br />

As reality shows have become a significant part of<br />
“Pop Culture,” cooking shows appear on all the major<br />
television networks. JHAL recently combined Hell’s<br />
Kitchen and Master Chef and held its first Mystery Box<br />
Cookoff.<br />
The contestants included JHAL’s own Jean Duroseau,<br />
Director of Food Services and JHR’s Dominic<br />
Ackerman, Executive Chef. As a surprise to the<br />
contestants, JHAL was able to secure a celebrity chef.<br />
Chef Dana Cohen, third runner up of Hell’s Kitchen<br />
Season 10, was the Master of Ceremonies. Dana, a<br />
native of the town of River Vale was honored to be a<br />
part of this unique experience. The judges were two<br />
residents currently residing in JHAL, Joe Leeds and<br />
Helen Goldberg.<br />
Prior to the event, JHAL staff met with Dana Cohen<br />
and created a two-course competition. Neither of the<br />
contestants were aware of the ingredients until the<br />
Mystery Box was revealed. The contestants had 20<br />
minutes to create an original first course (appetizer).<br />
There were 5 ingredients that were required to be<br />
used: salmon, wonton wrappers, honey roasted<br />
peanuts, avocados, and mangos. In the final preparation<br />
stage, Dana added a sixth ingredient that had to<br />
be utilized, which was blood oranges. After completion,<br />
the two JHAL residents tasted both creations and<br />
then voted on the winning dish.<br />
For the next stage, each contestant had 30 minutes to<br />
create an entrée. The required ingredients included<br />
duck, challah, endive, pataki mushrooms, carrots, and<br />
Dr. Brown’s Cherry soda. Of course, with both dishes,<br />
the contestants had a pantry filled with staple items.<br />
During both parts of the competion, Dana Cohen was<br />
interviewing the chefs trying to find out what they<br />
were creating and what unique techniques they were<br />
using. She also interviewed the resident judges and the<br />
other residents in the audience. The dining room was<br />
filled with delicious aromas that each chef brought to<br />
their creation.<br />
In the end, JHAL resident judges awarded Jean<br />
Duroseau the “Master Chef” winner.<br />
A special thank you to JHR’s Lisa Segelbacher and<br />
Jonathan Fox for their assistance in providing the<br />
necessary ingredients to ensure a true Mystery Box<br />
competition. Additionally our hats off to Dominic for<br />
being a great contestant filled with lots of personality.<br />
