Legacy Gifts

The simplest and most transformational gifts sometimes come as a surprise to Community VNA, when we receive word that a friend has named the organization as a beneficiary in a will or trust. Consider using the sample bequest language here:

Sample: “I hereby bequeath ___ (dollar amount or residual of my estate after other bequests) to Community VNA, a non profit organization with its principal place of business at 10 Emory Street, Attleboro, MA 02703.”

Any bequests to Community VNA will be considered a charitable contribution from your estate.

Changing Lives

Dear Friends,

What is community?

The Oxford English Dictionary defines community as “A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.” For more than 100 years, Community VNA has fostered a fellowship with the residents of Attleboro and the surrounding region by focusing on compassionate caregiving and meeting the changing health needs of the population.

As we review 2015, we continue to honor our founding mission by providing health care in the home while diversifying our service offerings to address unmet needs in the community. One new program that arose out of the community’s need is our Palliative Care Consultative Service (see pages 10 & 11). The goal of this program is to improve a patient’s quality of life during a chronic, progressive illness by addressing symptoms such as pain, anxiety or fatigue.

The addition of palliative care, along with the growth of our other programs over the past year, closely aligns with predictions about the nation’s increasing need for home health care. According to the Alliance for Home Health Quality and Innovation, 10% of all Medicare Beneficiaries in Massachusetts use home health. Of these patients, 89.3% have three or more chronic conditions. Clearly, the need for home health care is evident and is growing.

There are many studies that attest to the fact that patients heal better at home in their own environment, in the community. One such study examined the recovery of stroke patients. According to the journal, Stroke, “…patients who rehabilitated at home after only 10 days in the hospital had a faster recovery and, after three months, were farther advanced in assimilating back into their familiar surrounding than those who weren’t sent home.”

Tim Lachman, MD, a neurologist in Philadelphia states, “Most patients are happier and have better morale when they’re in their home rather than in a hospital or a rehabilitation center.” We see this happiness every day among the clients we serve.

The common goals nationally, as we work to reform health care, are to reduce expenditures, improve patients’ experience of care and enable a healthier population. We know our community-based services and programs work to meet these goals.

We know your community. We know its rich resources. We also know its key health care and social service providers with whom we are proud to partner. It is good to know you can count on the compassionate care of your Community VNA.

Community VNA is a 501c3

organization registered with the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts.

Charitable contributions

are tax deductible to the fullest extent

allowed by law.

In 1911, community leaders of Attleboro were becoming concerned about public health in the face of threatening communicable diseases. A community campaign was launched to raise funds to establish the Attleboro Anti-Tuberculosis Society. They recruited a trained nurse from Providence and created a “district nursing service” (home visiting nurses) to care for the community’s most vulnerable members, including the elderly, the disabled and the growing number of low wage workers and their families who increasingly were drawn to Attleboro’s early manufacturing enterprises.

Known today as Community VNA, the Anti-Tuberculosis Society was the first organized healthcare service in Attleboro, pre-dating the local community hospital, Sturdy Memorial, by two years.

The little district nursing agency grew and flourished over the decades. In the 1960s and 70s, in order to meet more rigorous requirements under newly enacted Medicare legislation, a number of area towns merged their town visiting nurse services into Attleboro’s larger Community VNA, to create the region-wide, non-profit home health and hospice agency we know today.

In 1983, Hospice Care was formally added to Community VNA to provide skilled and compassionate end of life care to those in need. In 1984, a non-profit sister agency, HealthCare Options, was created to provide other types of community-based health services and care. Today this includes Help at Home care, health and wellness education, public health nursing, worksite flu clinics, and adult day health centers located in Norwood, Mansfield and Taunton. 

In 1984 a non-profit parent organization, Community Health Systems, was established to coordinate and oversee the two non-profit subsidiaries, Community VNA and HealthCare Options.

Total Proceeds Raised [to date]

August 2, 2015: The Runaways Running Club hosted its annual 5K benefiting Community VNA. Thanks to this generous community support, we are able to provide services and supports to all those needing our Hospice Care. With proceeds from 2015, the Run has generated over $50,000 for Community VNA Hospice and Palliative Care over the past 13 years.

The courtyard at our Mansfield Adult Day Health Center, located at 300 Branch Street is a bit greener, having benefited from the gardening expertise of three Sensata Technologies engineers on a sunny Friday in late August. Participating in The United Way of Greater Attleboro/Taunton Day of Caring were Jacob Supron, Zenun Qi, and Nik Lal who spent several hours planting, weeding and refreshing mulch in the garden area of the enclosed courtyard at the adult day health center.

Left: Community VNA Hospice and Palliative Care hosted our annual Tree of Life and Remembrance Ceremony on December 6, 2015. The theme, Gifts of Winter, featured a quiet, reflective, gentle atmosphere, with thoughtful readings and music.

For some, such as the Andrews family pictured here, this is an annual ritual which has become a strong part of their personal holiday tradition. For others, it was the first time they joined us, having experienced a recent loss of a loved one. Many commented on the peaceful opportunity to remember those who have passed. Placing stars on the tree, reflecting the names of their family and friends who have passed, is an important part of the ceremony.

Right: Community VNA’s Mansfield Adult Day Health Care program once again benefited from a portion of the proceeds of the tenth annual Wreath Stroll, hosted by The Village at Willow Crossings, in Mansfield on Thursday, December 3, 2015.

With over 50 wreaths to choose from, there was a design for every taste, in a variety of colors which were generously donated by local businesses and community organizations. The event featured live music and generous refreshments as a compliment to the wreath silent auction. We are grateful to organizations like the Village at Willow Crossings for their continued support of those we serve.

Dear Friends,

Each year, we publish the Honor Roll of Donors, a listing

of Community VNA supporters – individuals, businesses,

and organizations – whose generous contributions sustain

our mission to provide quality care and services that

improve the health, enhance wellness and enrich the

quality of life for individuals and the community at large.

In the short time we have been part of the organization

[Danielle joined in February, and Jeff joined in March],

we hear countless stories about the compassionate care

Community VNA provides. For more than 100 years, the

organization has been there for the community — your community — providing care for the community’s most

vulnerable members. Thanks to donors like you, Community VNA continues to provide care which allows people to

live as independently as possible, for as long as possible, in our community.

Providing such care requires an investment from the community. Be assured, the investment made today in your

Community VNA helps us to be there for those who need us the most and helps us bridge the gap for those who

either lack insurance or are lacking the necessary health benefit coverage. Other times, what we may receive in

reimbursements from insurance companies does not cover the true cost of providing such high-quality,

compassionate care. In addition, your gifts help to continue to offer free health screenings, a variety of community

health education programs, and critically needed caregiver support and respite.

We are pleased to present the 2015 Honor Roll of Donors, representing support we received between January 1,

2015 and December 31, 2015. The Honor Roll is not a financial statement. It is simply one way we say Thank You

to everyone who believes in supporting the excellence and compassion of Community VNA.

Each day, we encounter specific examples of how your gifts have made a difference in someone’s life. Whether you are a first-time donor, are renewing your commitment after a few years, or have been a sustaining donor, we thank you for your commitment to Community VNA’s mission. Most importantly, thank you for your generosity!

Sincerely,

Danielle Fusco, RN, Director of Business Development

and Jeffrey LaValley, Community Relations and Fund

Development Manager.

New Program:Palliative Care

In early 1900, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years and most deaths were due to a sudden and acute illness. In the years since, life expectancy has increased to 77 years (a 64% increase). The majority of deaths are now due to chronic and progressive illnesses and tend to occur after a slow decline in function. People are living longer, but often with multiple medical conditions, related symptoms such as pain, fatigue or depression, and the challenge of complex medical decisions regarding treatments, advanced directives and goals of care.

Palliative Care is a medical subspecialty that has evolved in response to this changing demographic that incorporates hospice, but can be offered at any time to patients and families who are dealing with a serious illness. It is an added layer of support that can be integrated into the plan of care along with active medical treatment. It aims for achieving the best quality of life possible at any phase of a disease. Initially, palliative care programs were centered in hospitals. The current initiative is to expand palliative care into the community to improve access across all health care settings.

Community VNA has initiated a new palliative care consultation service and hired a nurse practitioner to work collaboratively with their home care and hospice teams, primary care providers and additional specialists, to provide palliative care to patients and caregivers who are living at home, in nursing homes, as well as in assisted living facilities.

Bonnie D. Evans, MS, GNP-BC, ACHPN Community VNA Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner

“…the era of expanding community based palliative care offers new opportunities for improving quality of life for persons and caregivers experiencing serious illness...”

Due to “the high illness burden that often characterizes multi-morbidity and advanced illness, inter-professional models of supportive care need to be in place prior to hospice”

C. Ritchie (2013) Ushering in an era of community-based palliative care. Journal of Palliative Medicine 16(8), p. 818.

By the Numbers

Our medical model adult day health centers are all certified by the Department of Public Health.

They provide care and socialization to hundreds of clients in our service area.

Most of private care service hours are provided by certified home health aides and homemakers.

11

How can we identify patients who may benefit from a palliative care consultation? There are patients who are often experiencing recurrent hospitalizations and emergency room visits due to acute exacerbations of chronic diseases. Some of these diseases can be cancer, heart failure, advanced COPD with oxygen dependency, neurological disease, end stage renal disease, or multiple chronic conditions.

A patient may also be experiencing uncontrolled physical symptoms such as pain, dyspnea, anxiety and/or depression, nausea, agitation, weight loss, fatigue, or functional decline. We can help by providing a comprehensive assessment considering the patient’s and family’s wishes, and maximizing the quality of life at any stage of a progressive illness.

If you or someone you know could benefit from a Palliative Care Consult, please call us at 800.220.0110.

“Palliative care interventions, including hospice, are effective in improving important patient outcomes, providing care more consonant with most patients’ and families’ informed preferences, and potentially reducing the costs for both public and private payers by avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations and use of intensive care.

Changes throughout the health care system are needed to increase incentives for providing comprehensive palliative care.”

C. Ritchie (2013) Ushering in an era of community-based palliative care. Journal of Palliative Medicine 16(8), p. 329.

Hospice CareHospice is caring that focuses on comfort, but not on cure, for patients with life-threatening illnesses. Hospice is designed to provide all aspects of medical, emotional and spiritual care and support for patients and assistance for their loved ones.

With our expertise in this area and years of experience, we can assist each patient and their family as they prepare to transition from hospital care or traditional at-home care to Hospice (and Palliative Care). Our Bridge to Hospice services can help ensure caregiving during the transition remains as smooth and seamless as possible.

LifelineLifeline Medical Alert summons assistance in an emergency, or anytime when help is needed. Lifeline has helped millions to live at home, more safely and confidently, knowing help in an emergency is just a pushbutton away.

The Elder Dental Program is a community-based, non-profit program dedicated to helping low-income adults, aged sixty and older, access quality dental care at greatly reduced costs. The program relies on a network of local dentists who volunteer by donating the costs of providing care to these seniors including their time, equipment, office space, and staff.

The Elder Dental Program advocates for greater access to quality, affordable oral health care for individuals of all ages. We sponsor free dental screening clinics for anyone age sixty or over — regardless of financial status — and host these screening events throughout our Elder Dental program service area.
