Caring for an elderly loved one will soon be less lonely and demanding because of a $40,000 grant to Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Retirement Services. Shepherd of the Valley is one of 14 organizations across the country chosen, in part because their outreach included strong components of community, congregational, and volunteer involvement, to participate in an innovative pilot project addressing aging and care-giving issues. “All of us will, at some point, experience aging issues, whether caring for elderly loved ones or as we grow older ourselves. The grant from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Foundation will enable Shepherd to develop a network of caregiver support groups that can have a positive impact on many lives,” said Randi Baun, Shepherd’s Foundation Director. The grant underwrites Supportive Options And Resources (S.O.A.R.), a community-based, volunteer driven program developed to help address the needs of an ever-increasing number of people

Shepherd of the Valley receiVeS $40,000 Grantcaring for elderly loved ones in the tri-county area. Area Lutheran Churches, with support from Shepherd of the Valley, will spearhead the project. “Monthly support meetings will provide a place where care-givers can talk with each other and share experiences and solutions,” explained Beth Stricko, Shepherd of the Valley Community Relations Manager. “As the program grows, a support line, respite opportunities, and in-home monitoring technology will become available.” The Aging in Community Initiative was coordinated by Lutheran Services in America and the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Foundation, which provided a total of $560,000 in grants. “The ability to partner with Shepherd of the Valley on this is a real opportunity for Thrivent Financial for Lutherans to make a difference in the community,” said Richard Thompson, Jr., Lutheran Community Services Specialist.

the “State” of the Medicaid proGraM Over the past 11/2 years we have been heavily involved, along with many other providers from Trumbull and Mahoning Counties, in educating our legislators and regulators about the inequities in Medicaid funding. In July of 2006, Mahoning and Trumbull County nursing facilities were placed in the lowest reimbursement category in the state, losing over $4 per day in cost ceilings while most other counties state-wide saw little change. This will mean Shepherd of the Valley nursing facilities will have had decreases or freezes in Medicaid funding for seven (7) years in a row. The chart below shows Shepherd of the Valley nursing facility costs versus the most recent information we have on state-wide nursing facility costs. As you can clearly see, we have been able

to keep our costs down in administration and “bricks and mortar” and have spent our money on resident care, dietary, and resident support services. You can also see in the last category, Case Mix Score, Shepherd of the Valley is delivering a higher level of care to residents. In addition to the $177.21 shown below, another $28.80 per resident per day is considered non-reimbursable cost under Medicaid rules. Some of this amount is recoverable by directly billing Medicare for services received by Medicaid recipients. Unfortunately, a good portion of these costs will never be recovered from any governmental source. These most recent cuts made to our area are unfair and we are in the process of assessing what political or legal action may be needed to secure adequate funding for resident care.

Join us for a time to share, learn and gain vauluable information.

Each month we explore a new topic concerning caring for the elderly. There are four S.O.A.R. locations hosting meetings throughout the

month, stop in and share your story. See website for more information.

Beginning January 1, Shepherd of the Valley implemented two healthy initiatives: all five campuses of the company became totally smoke-free and a new employee wellness incentive program was announced. While the facilities have long been non-smoking, the new smoke-free policy includes all buildings and grounds, applying to employees, residents, visitors, and vendors alike, including vehicles parked on company property. The only exception is residents who currently smoke will be grandfathered.

“This is not only a health issue for our staff, but a safety issue,” explained Don Kacmar, Shepherd Executive Director. “Every year the news reports fires in a nursing home or senior community because a resident fell asleep while smoking. We have never had to face that tragedy and, as a health care organization dedicated to the safety and well-being of our seniors and staff, we decided we needed to act sooner than later.”

Shepherd of the Valley is also implementing a new employee wellness incentive program, $Good Health Pays Off$. The program will help increase employee knowledge and self-awareness of reducible health risks and reinforce Shepherd’s proactive

Spending the Holiday season alone and homebound is a lonely proposition. In 2004, Shepherd-Niles started Share the Spirit (STS), a giving tree program. Spearheaded by Admissions/Marketing Director Jeri Lynn Smith, the staff, residents, and families of

our Niles community have generously provided Christmas presents to area seniors who are unable to leave their homes and are alone at Christmas. The first year reached about 30 seniors in the Trumbull County area with our corporate churches providing the names. In 2006, the program expanded to encompass the Niles and Warren SCOPE Senior Centers. Every year the number of seniors has increased. This past Christmas more than 60 seniors received gifts. Gifts were purchased by staff members, residents, and families, including a generous donation by one of our family members who wishes to remain anonymous. The

approach toward preventative health and well being… and earn employees up to $200.

In early 2007, Shepherd of the Valley conducted an employee health assessment – the results were not pretty. The company decided to be more pro-active in helping staff improve their health and develop healthier habits. “Shepherd of the Valley is one of a handful of companies in the area with a full-time Wellness Coordinator on staff,” said Kacmar.

To be eligible, employees must participate in an initial health screen and health risk assessment in February plus quarterly, mini-health checks to assess progress. Participants receive points each time for not using tobacco products and for obtaining or making progress toward meeting their ideal weight, blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol levels. Participants earning 40 points or more receive $50 and those with at least 30 points earn $30, up to a total of $200 over the year.

“All Shepherd employees are eligible and participation is voluntary and confidential,” explained Carrie Clyde, Wellness Coordinator. “As an

additional support, educational health programs and presentations will be offered throughout the year which will help participants learn to better manage their health and how and why to make positive health behavior changes to incorporate into lifestyles.”

corporate staff joined STS this year, voting to giving presents to seniors in need rather than to each other. The value of the program is evident in the many calls and notes received, such as: “I can’t tell you the way I feel when I get your wonderful bag of gifts. I really needed everything, and it was extremely thoughtful.” “Thank you very much for the lovely Christmas Gift. The robe is so soft; I may wear it all morning. I really appreciate your kindness.” We are looking toward the future to expand the amount of seniors we can reach. Thank you to all of you that participated in this program.

healthy initiatiVeS to pay off for Shepherd of the Valley

the precious Gift of life If we tried to find rules and regulations in the Bible about wellness, we wouldn’t find many. One of the few can be found in the first letter to Timothy where the writer encourages moderate use of wine. “Use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.” A religious view of wellness is not limited to rules and regulations. It also includes biblical images that communicate God’s intentions for healthy human beings. In one of the creation stories, the writer said that God created man and woman “in the image of God.” In another story, the writer said that God “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.” Writing to the early Christians at Corinth, the apostle Paul said that “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God.” These biblical images express the idea that human life comes from God. Within our physical, emotional, and spiritual being, we bear the “image” and essence of God. The apostle Paul said that God’s Spirit dwells within each of us. Knowing that each human being carries within him or herself the Spirit of God calls us to a different approach to wellness. While it is good to follow commonsense rules for healthy living —”Exercise, lose weight, don’t smoke, etc.”— a religious view of wellness is concerned about our attitude toward our own life as well as that of other human beings. It prompts us to ask the question, “Knowing that you and I have God’s presence within us, how shall we live so that we honor the gift that God has given us?” To put it simply, if God has given us such a precious gift of life, why wouldn’t we want to treat our bodies with respect and do all we can to care for them?

For most of us, there are two important dimensions of Christian stewardship. The first is providing for the advancement of God’s work. We typically accomplish this by offering our blessings of worldly possessions in order to advance our favorite ministries. The second is to care for our family and loved ones even beyond our time on earth, usually through our estate. These two elements of stewardship, however, are not mutually exclusive. You can do both while also increasing your current annual income. But, you will only achieve this through wise estate planning. Shepherd’s Foundation is excited to present our partnership with Lutheran Planned Giving of Ohio (LPG), a ministry of Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). LPG exists to provide sound advice on achieving your desire of leaving a legacy for ministry
