A word from the Administrator…

The exceedingly long, cold snowy winter is beginning

to exit and spring with its promise of renewal is just

around the corner. We have been very busy during the

past several months implementing the new MDS 3.0

system, which was designed by Medicare to enhance

the quality of care in nursing homes. This new assess-

ment tool has been specifically designed to include the

resident and their family in the process. Our staff has

devoted a great deal of time implementing this new data

collection system which will enhance the staff‘s ability

to assure that our residents‘ requests and preferences are

sought after and honored.

Our three month pro bono project with Pfizer was offi-

cially launched during February to an excited, moti-

vated and dedicated group of individuals (please see

more details on page 7). Our projects goal is to create a

process improvement to advance the care of our Alz-

heimer‘s residents at Fairview. Working together with

Fairview, the Pfizer team will incorporate key stake-

holders – residents, staff, volunteers, residents‘ families

and the Culture Change Committee – in the develop-

ment of a process improvement plan to help staff and

volunteers easily implement, sustain and track improve-

ments. In just the first few weeks of this partnership

we‘ve witnessed some beneficial changes with our

memory impaired residents and look forward to many

more transformations that will benefit all the residents

of Fairview.

I‘m delighted to be able to let you know that in our an-

nual inspection by the State Health Department we had

a deficiency free survey. This couldn‘t have been ac-

complished without the dedicated and devoted staff that

we are blessed with. My sincerest thanks to all the

amazing individuals who helped make this possible.

James K. Malloy, Administrator

DEVELOPMENT REPORT

The winter months have certainly taken a toll on our patience and psyches. But the spirit of giving is alive and well at

Fairview. We are very fortunate to have wonderful donors who continue to support our mission. Successes in calen-

dar year 2010 include:

$167,418.80 was collected in total contributions from a record 795 donations

Most successful annual fund drive to date – 133 donations for $20,980.00

Twelve grants totaling $24,179.00 – another record

Car raffle proceeds of $24,277.00 – another record

Antiques & Collectibles auction - $59,197.52

During these difficult economic times it is truly remarkable that so many wonderful friends and supporters of Fair-

view continue to be so generous. Our five car raffles have raised over $97,000.00 and our eight Antiques & Collecti-

bles Auctions have provided just over $380,000.00 in net profit (see previous newsletter issues on our website

www.oddfellowsct.com for a complete list of businesses who have been auction sponsors). Several Foundations and

Corporations including Chelsea Groton Bank, Dominion Nuclear, Pfizer, Dime Bank, NewportFed Bank, The Sav-

ings Institute, People‘s Bank, Charter Oak Federal CU, Groton Rotary, Mystic Rotary, Wal-Mart, Groton Utilities,

Murtha Cullina LLP, Morin Associates, and UBS have also played a major role in our ability to buy new

equipment and offer new programs.

Our 2011 annual fund began in January and will conclude on December 31, 2011. If you have not already made a

pledge and would like to do so now a pledge envelope is included in this issue. All proceeds this year will be used to

purchase equipment for advances in technology and any other programs applicable to enhancing the quality of life of

our residents.

You can also make a gift in the following manner:

Stonington Lodge #26 Christmas

Party for disadvantaged kids held

at Fairview on December 18,

2010.


SAVINGS

INSTITUTE

MAKES

DONATION

The Savings Insti-

tute recently pro-

vided a $529.00

grant for the pur-

chase of an oxygen concentrator analyzer. We use

several oxygen concentrator tanks and each has to be

checked for quality operation on a quarterly basis or

when a malfunction is detected. Fairview previously

had to hire an outside vendor to do these checks.

Having our own analyzer will save us considerable

funds so that we can allocate precious resources to

other areas of resident care. Pictured presenting the

check to David Brown, Director of Development, is

Elisabeth Page, Groton Savings Institute Branch

Manager.

FELLOWSHIP MANOR RESIDENT HONORED

FOR SERVICE TO HIS COUNTRY

Through the efforts of several members of the Fairview

staff and particularly receptionist, Liz Weeks, Fellowship

Manor resident Billy Joe Foreman was honored for ser-

vice to his country. A special presentation was held in

Fellowship

M a n o r ‘ s

f u n c t i o n

room where

Mr. Fore-

man was

encircled by

family mem-

bers, several

friends and

F a i r v i e w

employees.

Captain A.

Michael Edgar USNR, (brother of Liz Weeks) presented

Mr. Foreman with a certificate signed by the Command-

ing Officer of the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) in

commemoration of ―your extensive service and retire-

ment as a Chief Commissaryman in the United States

Navy.‖ He was also presented with a pen constructed

from wood taken from the USS Constitution, the oldest

ship in the U.S. Navy. Mr. Foreman retired in 1966 after

serving his country for over 21 years. Pictured cutting a

special cake made for the occasion is Mr. Foreman with

Captain Edgar.



POPULAR

BISTRO

BREAKFAST

FOR

RESIDENTS

NOW

AVAILABLE

TWO DAYS A

WEEK

Last year Fairview added a special culture change break-

fast in the Bistro for residents. The response has been so

good that a second day is now included. On Tuesday

and Thursday mornings all residents whose diets permit

can go to the Bistro for a ready-to-order breakfast con-

sisting of any style of eggs, home fries, bacon or sausage,

pastries, fruit, juice, coffee or tea. Their order is taken by

a staff volunteer and delivered freshly made minutes after

being prepared. This has been one of the biggest culture

change initiatives at Fairview, but certainly not the only

one. Other initiatives include fine dining, revamped

shower rooms, empowering the residents and encourag-

ing them to create an award to give to staff members they

feel deserve recognition, renaming of hallways to local

streets, and ‗Healing Touch‘ therapy.

MATCHING GIFT LEADS TO RECORD-

SETTING ANNUAL FUND

The 2010 annual fund set records for the number of

donors and money collected. Once again the Grand

Lodge of Connecticut led the way matching all total

gifts up to $5,000.00. All donations were placed in

Fairview‘s technol-

ogy fund to help pay

for the ongoing ex-

penses of our elec-

tronic medical re-

cords system. One

hundred and thirty-

three donations

raised a total of

$20,980.00. In comparison the first annual fund in

2006 raised just $4,485.00. The Grand Lodge has

again agreed in 2011 to match up to $5,000.00 in

total gifts. Pictured presenting the 2010 $5,000.00

matching gift check to Administrator Jim Malloy are

(L-R) Hank Lucas, Odd Fellows Healthcare 1st VP,

Warren Smith, Secretary of the Connecticut Grand

Lodge, Dick Campbell, Odd Fellows Healthcare

President, and Jim Malloy.


A FEW TESTIMONIALS FROM

RESIDENTS’ FAMILIES

January 28, 2011

To the Staff of Fairview,

Our most sincere thanks to each of you for the kindness and

care you gave to my mother Sylvia during her brief stay. So

many of you worked to meet all of her needs and to make her

comfortable. Our family appreciates your professionalism and

your humanity. You helped make a difficult time a little easier.

Our best wishes for a good New Year for you all.

Melvin and Iris Yoselevsky.

—————————————————————————-

January, 2011

To the Fairview Staff:

Once again, I want to thank you all for all you did to get my

Mom, Shirley Jacobsen, back on her feet. I can always count

on you to do the best for her. It is a great relief to me when she

is in your care. I hope you know how very grateful I am for all

that you do. God Bless you all!

Lee Kersteter

January 2, 2011

Dear Staff of Fairview Nursing Home,

We are very grateful to you for the loving care you gave to our

mother, Julia Parker, who passed away at your home on No-

vember 27. She seemed very comfortable with you, and we

knew that we could count on your care for her every need.

You helped make a very sorrowful time much easier for her

and for us. Thank you so much.

Sincerely, the Parker Family – Don, Martha, Jerry, Karen, Tim,

Kevin and Mary



DOMINION

NUCLEAR

CONNECTICUT

INC. MAKES

$10,000.00 GIFT

Fairview has wanted

to replace its aging

dishwasher in the

dietary department

for some time. The current machine is over thirty years

old. It is very inefficient and has to be repaired often. A

new dishwasher is quite expensive so we haven‘t had the

funds to buy one. Dominion Nuclear has come to our aid

by making a $10,000.00 donation to help offset the cost

of a new industrial size dishwasher. This is the lead gift

we needed to give us the momentum to make the pur-

chase. The new industrial size dishwasher will save Fair-

view over $9,000.00 per year in water and energy costs.

Pictured presenting the ‗check‘ to David Brown, Director

of Development, is Nancy Bulkeley, Community Affairs

Representative at Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.

RESIDENTS BENEFIT

FROM DONATIONS

Four new robe, towel and

blanket warmers have

been purchased by Fair-

view through the generos-

ity of The Savings Institute and the Mystic Rotary

Club. These warmers provide much comfort to resi-

dents at various times of the day and particularly af-

ter bathing. Items like this are critical to the culture

change at Fairview and are one more way we can

improve the quality of life for our residents.

PENTAGON 9/11 BOMBING SURVIVOR

SPEAKS AT FAIRVIEW

Dan Holdridge captivated an audience of over 40 people

in Fairview‘s auditorium on December 2 recounting his

harrowing experience the day the Pentagon was attacked

on September 11, 2001. Dan was working for General

Dynamics as a Program Director on loan to the Pentagon

as a contractor. He was injured in the blast and was one

of only two survivors from his work group of thirty-four.

One-hundred and

eighty-four people

were killed that day at

the Pentagon. Dan has

written a book called

―Pentagon Prayer‖

which describes in

detail the entire or-

deal. Dan dedicates

his time speaking to

people across the country about his experience, what

helped him heal and how he became an even stronger

person than ever before. Dan serves as President and

CEO of Eagle Industries Inc. located in Westerly, RI. He

is also very involved with the National 4-H Leadership

Trust and served as a trustee from 2002 to 2004. Pictured

with Dan (seated) at the Fairview program are: (L-R)

guest Fred Sousa, Mary, Sepowitz, Noble Grand of Odd

Fellows Lodge #17 and Dan‘s aunt, and Richard Tru-

delle, Noble Grand of Stonington Lodge #26.

PFIZER BEGINS PRO BONO INITIATIVE

FOR CULTURE CHANGE

Pfizer, Inc. has chosen Fairview from several other

non-profits in the southeastern Connecticut area to

implement a pro bono project to develop culture

change recommendations with a focus on care for

Alzheimer‘s residents, and create a plan to imple-

ment them. The Pfizer team will work with Fair-

view‘s Culture Change Committee and other key

stakeholders (residents‘, staff, and residents‘ fami-

lies) to research and create recommendations for cul-

ture change improvements, with a focus on Alz-

heimer‘s residents. Working with Fairview the team

will then develop a process improvement plan to

help staff and volunteers easily implement, sustain

and ideally track culture change improvements for

Alzheimer‘s resident‘s. Progress from this work

could then be used as a template for Fairview to ex-

pand later to other parts of the organization.

This program will last for approximately 3 months

ending in May/June. There will be six members on

the Pfizer team. A final progress report will be in-

cluded in the June Point O‘ View.
