3 Reflections s Don Retirements signify both beginning and endings. This marks my last column in VISTA. As such it brings forth a feeling of reflection as I reminisce on the years I have spent with Otterbein and the changes we have gone through together. Many memories spring up in the course of looking back over 15 years. During that time, we have added communities, expanded the services we provide and extended our commitment to enhancing the holistic growth of seniors. Additions have been made to communities that truly furthered the service Otterbein is able to provide. The Jane Baker House holds special meaning for me, as it was the first small house attached to the Otterbein name. The house s opening completed Otterbein North Shore s continuum of care with 10 nursing beds in a new Don Gilmore, newly retired president and CEO model for nursing care, making it the first Otterbein small house opened and the first in the state. The repositioning at Otterbein Portage Valley has made quite a difference in how Otterbein is serving elders in that part of the state. Also exciting was the development of chapel rooms at St. Marys and Cridersville, the 20-year master plan at Lebanon and the advancement of a Life Enrichment Center at St. Marys. We have really been honored with the opportunity to help preserve Armco Park. Located beside the Lebanon campus, it is an oasis where Otterbein residents and the public can enjoy nature at their leisure. As with anything, there were rough spots along with the smooth. Some may think no longer administering to Leipsic reflects negatively on Otterbein. While we were not happy to sell the community, it has blossomed into a very positive move simply becausee of how many other things it enabled Otterbein to do that otherwise would not have been possible. While these big milestone events come to mind, what has made most of an impression are the people with whom I have served. Being at Otterbein has been not just a job, but a calling for myself and for the partners who come in and give their best every day. ns from Don Gilmore One thing that has really struck a chord with me has been the partnership I have had with the members of the Otterbein Homes Board of Trustees and each community s board of directors. So much has been accomplished because of their full support and backing. In leaving, I go knowing Otterbein is in secure hands with Jill Hreben. She and I have worked closely together over the past year especially on the implementation of the Avalon small house neighborhoods. While she stands poised to lead Otterbein in its second century, she is on new ground as the first woman to lead this organization. OTTERBEIN S MISSION STa at TEMENT In keeping with our United Methodist tradition, we seek to enhance the quality of life and holistic growth of older persons. 3

4 at Avalon at Approximately 100 people gathered Feb. 9 for the official ribbon cutting of Warren County s second small house neighborhood, which is located on the campus of the Atrium Medical Center in Middletown. Otterbein Homes Board of Trustees Chair Thomas Compton, Gov. Ted Strickland s Southwest Ohio Regional Director Brewster Rhoads and retired Otterbein Homes President and CEO Donald L. Gilmore. Rhoads presented a proclamation from the Ohio governor. 4 It may have been a chilly mid-winter day outside Avalon by Otterbein at Atrium, but inside 105 Atrium Drive a congenial and homey atmosphere perfectly exemplified why it is unlike any nursing home most people have ever seen. Approximately 100 people gathered Feb. 9 for the official ribbon cutting of Warren County s second small house neighborhood, which is located on the campus of the Atrium Medical Center in Middletown. This is an attempt to deinstitutionalize nursing homes, said Sue McConn, executive director of Avalon by Otterbein. People here have an opportunity to take control of their own lives. They determine when they get up, their meals, their activities whereas in an institutional setting all those things are planned for them. Avalon by Otterbein small house neighborhoods have five houses where each 7,000 squarefoot house is home to 10 people. Elder assistants attend to the elders living there and nurses provide the necessary treatments. The Avalon site is located on 4.5 acres on the Atrium Medical Center campus. Each house features a great room, patio, a residential kitchen, a family dining area, a den and physical therapy room. Atrium CEO Doug McNeill said he was delighted to have Avalon as one of the many partner agencies on the Atrium campus. Traditionally, the elderly population has been placed in a dorm, he said, but if you take a look around it looks like home. Retired Otterbein Homes President and CEO Donald L. Gilmore said Avalon neighborhoods have revolutionized care for the elderly. It s transformational, he said. It s going to set the future of how we care for elders upside down. Several elected officials presented letters and proclamations in honor of the day. Brewster Rhoads brought a proclamation from Gov. Ted Strickland, while letters were given by Rep. Shannon Jones and by representatives from the offices of Rep. John Boehner and Sen. Sherrod Brown. (888)

6 More than Bacon: Otterbein North Shores Offers Breakfast With a Side of Business tterbein North Shore (ONS) must be known for a tasty breakfast. Despite the snowstorms that kept many inside and away from work, 35 of the 55 people who RSVP d for ONS first Breakfast with a Side of Business event on Jan. 29 came, ate and learned. A BIG blizzard the day before the event prevented many from attending, explained ONS Marketing Director Joy Riedl. Everyone who did attend enjoyed a delicious hot breakfast of scrambled eggs, home-made biscuits, sausage, juice and coffee. The series included events on Feb. 26 and March 26, which also were well attended. The event speaker was Norm Craig, who is an agency sales presentation manager with Western & Southern Financial Group. His monthly specials featured post retirement analysis, cash management, estate planning and charitable giving. The post retirement analysis focused on distribution methods, maintaining lifestyle and a structured retirement, while the cash management session went over inflation and taxes, cash flow traps, net cash flow, short-term savings and taking control of credit cards. At the March event on estate planning, Craig talked about estate taxes, wills, trusts and charitable giving strategies. The speaker was very informative and many guests remarked that they learned a lot and that Norm gave them a lot to think about, said Riedl. Seminar participants left the events with an easy-to-use workbook to help each individual understand his or her personal situation. 6 continued on bottom of page 7 (888)

7 Celebrating g Years Y at OTTERBEIN CRIDERSVILLEC The 20 th anniversary of Otterbein Cridersville Retirement Living Community was celebrated Dec. 30, 2008, with the 60 people in attendance enjoying toasts and easy camaraderie. Three of Otterbein Cridersville s residents have lived in the community since it first opened in December Frank Fisher, Chloe Warner and Eleanor Franklin each received a beautiful clock commemorating the anniversary of their 20 years with Otterbein. Donors from the Heritage Club also were recognized. The event was topped off with the sounds of a big band. At the end of the ceremony, 100 maroon and gold balloons were dropped from over the stage. Celebrants enjoyed popping the floating balloons with whatever was at hand - pocket pens, canes and even their shoes. Shown in middle is Frank Fisher, one of the three residents who has lived at Otterbein Cridersville Retirement Living Community since its opening in continued from page 6 Craig entered the insurance industry in 1983 and has served in roles from sales representative to district sales manager. In his current position as presentation manager, he conducts an average of three seminars per week to the general public on various financial planning topics. In addition, Craig conducts various seminars and workshops for a number of organizations and small businesses. He holds NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers) series 6 and 26 licenses, as well as being a Chartered Life underwriter. He also is a member of the Life Underwriter s Association.

He is a frequent speaker at the state of Ohio s Women & Money conference and has appeared on TV and been written about in newspapers across the Midwest. 7

8 WISWELL WELL HONORED by Local Chamber of Commerce Otterbein St. Marys Executive Director Fred Wiswell enjoyed listening to dynamic speaker Harvey Alston and then, with no forewarning, was named 2008 Citizen of the Year by the Celina Mercer County Chamber of Commerce. A tiny bit of subterfuge was used in getting Otterbein St. Marys Executive Director Fred Wiswell to the annual meeting of the Celina Mercer County Chamber of Commerce Feb. 25, but the surprise was well worth it. I was absolutely clueless right up to the point where they called my name, Wiswell said the next day. I just kept thinking, I ve heard this scenario before, not realizing it was my lifetime being described. When they announced my name, I was awestruck. It was such an honor and such a complete blindsided surprise that I was literally, for once in my life, speechless and then very humbled and very, very grateful. It was just a really neat evening and I had no clue. Pamela Buschur, executive director of the Celina Mercer County Chamber of Commerce, has known Wiswell for many years. As soon as she saw his name among the nominations, she knew he was the deserving one, she said. It s just a way to say thank you for all you do and all you ve done. He s dedicated to his job, but yet he has time to help other people. He s a compassionate person, a good listener, a motivator and a leader, she explained the day after the ceremony. In her introduction of the award, Buschur said, It is dedicated and caring people like Fred who make the school and community a better place for all. Fred s big heart, willingness to help anyone and readiness to go the extra mile in any position he held made an impact on his nominators, she said. Buschur said collaboration between friends kept the award secret from Wiswell. Hank Schwieterman, the man responsible for getting Wiswell to Romer s banquet hall in Celina, enticed him with the prospect of hearing dynamic speaker Harvey Alston, who speaks to educators a lot. It was not an ordinary workweek for Wiswell and Schwieterman was a little nervous that work obligations might keep him from being able to attend. Surveyors from the Ohio Department of Health were at Otterbein St. Marys the entire week for its annual go-over. 8 (888)

9 We were really, really busy in the midst of this, Wiswell explained. When they come in, that s always your first priority. He kept calling, Now, you re sure you re still on? Wiswell was really looking forward to going, though. Even though he knew he would be a little late, he was committed to hearing Alston, whom he had heard 10 to 15 years ago. Being the executive director at Otterbein St. Marys is a second career for Wiswell. April 1 marked his third year there. Prior to that, he was an educator, serving as a teacher, coach, middle school principal, assistant superintendent and superintendent in the Celina City Schools. It was noted that Wiswell is involved at the Immaculate Conception Church and is a member of the Knights of Columbus. He also has worked with Celina Combined Charities. Alston spoke following comments by the outgoing and ingoing presidents and then the awards were handed out. The citizen of the year award, the big one of the night, was presented after the achievement, humanitarian and business of the year awards. I m (been) really blessed in my lifetime and (I m) truly humbled by it, Wiswell said of the award. LIFT L GIVEN in Memory of Beloved Sister There was a lot of serendipity that accompanied a recent donation from a St. Marys woman to the nursing unit at Otterbein St. Marys. Long-time OSM board member Stan Davis, also a Kiwanian, heard about OSM s request to the Kiwanis for a gift to help purchase a much-needed lift for Otterbein nursing residents. It so happens that Stan s long-time family friend, Betty Ann Palmer, had recently purchased a lift for her sister, Judy, who had spina bifida. Judy had learned how to cope amazingly well with her disability and even did sewing for area residents, but got to the point where she needed the assistance of a lift. Unfortunately, Judy died not long after, and the lift was still like new. Stan approached Betty Ann about donating the lift to OSM and helped facilitate the gift in memory of Judy Palmer. Otterbein Director of Nursing Karen Schneitman is shown with the donated lift. 9

10 NEW BEGINNINGS Thomas Compton Board Chair Jill brings a wealth of experience and a caring heart to the mission of Otterbein Homes. he baton is being passed at Otterbein Homes. It is a significant one that has been carried with dignity and a great bearing of responsibility over the years by Otterbein s leaders. At the helm of Otterbein Homes since 1994, Donald Gilmore has led the organization with graceful strength and understanding. On May 1, his successor, Jill C. Hreben, began to carry forth the vision that Otterbein holds for the future. She formerly held the position of executive vice president. On behalf of the Otterbein Homes Board of Trustees, as well as all Otterbein partners and residents, I would like to express appreciation to Don for his service to this organization s ministry and wish he and Gina all the best for their future. Otterbein Homes has been fortunate for the past 15 years to have had Don s leadership. During his tenure at Otterbein Homes, Don provided the strategic direction, vision and passion that enabled this organization to grow through innovation, hard work and faith. Don s contributions to Otterbein and faith-based eldercare nationally have been significant and numerous. He recently completed a six-year term as chair of Caring Communities Insurance Corporation and also was past chair of American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging for two years. At Otterbein, he started the Partners In Caring Program, which helps each employee become a partner and develop personally to their full potential. He also led an effort working with Warren County to preserve Armco Park as a public green space for the enjoyment of all county residents and especially the residents of Otterbein Lebanon. The capstone of Don s Otterbein career was the pioneering development of Otterbein s Avalon communities. This new, revolutionary way of providing elders with residential nursing care would not have been possible without his vision, faith and commitment. It is with great pleasure that I and the other members of the Otterbein Homes Board of Trustees welcome Jill as the new president and CEO. Her focused and steady approach coupled with intelligence, passion and a mission-driven heart will lead Otterbein to continued success in the future. She brings a wealth of experience and a caring heart to the mission of Otterbein Homes. Her intellect, attention to detail, hard work and levelheaded approach to the ministry of Otterbein is enhanced by a genuine respect and kindness for both residents and partners of Otterbein. 10 (888)

11 HREBEN NAMED AS OTTERBEIN HOMES NEW PRESIDENT AND CEO History is being made at Otterbein Homes as Jill C. Hreben becomes the first woman to take over at the helm of the United Methodist-related senior living organization. In February, Thomas A. Compton, chair of the Otterbein Homes Board of Trustees, announced to Otterbein board members, residents and partners that Donald L. Gilmore, president and CEO of Otterbein Homes, had chosen to retire and Otterbein Homes Executive Vice President Jill C. Hreben was named to succeed him in the organization s top leadership position. Gilmore s retirement was effective April 30, with Hreben s first day as president and CEO on May 1. Hreben holds a bachelor s of business administration in accounting degree from Georgia Southern University and a master s degree in organization development from Bowling Green State University. Starting her career as a certified public accountant in 1988, she moved on to specializing in senior living and long-term care as a supervising consultant for Plante and Moran, LLP (formerly NCOT), Certified Public Accountants in Toledo. In 1996, after she enrolled in the nine-month Ohio Department of Health s Nursing Home Administrator in Training program at Otterbein Portage Valley, Hreben caught the Spirit of Otterbein and felt a call to serve older persons. She joined Otterbein Homes for the first time in 1997 as assistant vice president of operational finance and also served as interim executive director for Otterbein Portage Valley in Pemberville. In 2001, Hreben joined the Lutheran Homes Society Inc. in Holland, Ohio, as vice president of finance and chief financial officer. Serving as treasurer to the parent board and five subsidiary boards, her responsibilities included all financial transactions of this not-for-profit social ministry, including four divisions consisting of severally behaviorally disabled youth programs, affordable housing, retirement communities and a charitable foundation. In 2002, she returned to Otterbein as vice president and CFO. During her tenure in this position, she worked with all partners in Otterbein to improve the financial strength of the organization. Her role was expanded in 2003 to serve as vice president of administration and chief financial officer, where she assumed oversight for the corporate clinical, dining Jill C. Hreben New President & CEO and nutrition services, information technology and procurement functions. In 2006, as senior vice president for strategic management, Hreben led the development of Avalon by Otterbein. She was named executive vice president for Otterbein Homes in 2008 and assumed additional responsibilities within the organization. Hreben currently serves on the executive committee of AOPHA, the advocate of not-for-profit services for older Ohioans. She also serves as a commissioner on the United Methodist Association EAGLE Accreditation Commission, the nation s only faith-based accreditation for senior living and children s services. She is a member of the Lebanon Kiwanis Club. Hreben and her husband, Scott, recently moved to Warren County from Perrysburg and are the parents of four adult children. They are life-long United Methodists. 11

Term expiration dates are listed after the name. Meet A Board Member typically features one board member from the Otterbein Homes Board of Trustees. For this VISTA, we decided to highlight the chairs of each community s board of directors. Those board members serving on all of Otterbein s boards give precious gifts - their time and their ideas - freely in order to serve elders at all Otterbein communities. We thank them for their dedication and their continued service to Otterbein. Otterbein Lebanon - Jackson Hedges Jackson C. Hedges is a practicing attorney in Lebanon and has served on the Otterbein Lebanon Board since its inception in His term will expire on Dec. 31, although he could be reelected and eligible to serve another four years. He has been chair of the Otterbein Lebanon Board of Directors for eight years. He was introduced to Otterbein Lebanon many years ago through clients and friends. Its residents, management and quality of care have long impressed him. He said he welcomes the opportunity to volunteer and serve Otterbein Lebanon as it enables him to fulfill his goal of paying ahead - to give in consideration for what he has received from others. Hedges is a member of the Lebanon United Methodist Church, presently a member of the Lebanon City School Board, Lebanon Rotary Club, Lebanon Masonic Lodge and many other groups and organizations, both public and civic. He also was formerly on Lebanon City Council and Lebanon mayor for eight years. His vision is to fulfill Otterbein s mission statement, which is in keeping with our United Methodist tradition, seeking to enhance the quality of life and holistic growth of older persons. He believes that some of the immediate challenges facing Otterbein Lebanon are resolving issues of growth, government regulations and funding. Otterbein St. Marys - Randy Elsass Randy Elsass has been on the St. Marys Board of Directors since its inception in His current term ends in Elsass remarked on the many ways God guides us to his service. I was at the original meeting that explained the concepts of a local board, something that did not currently exist at the time. I have always considered volunteer service to be the rent I pay for the opportunity to be in business in the area, he said. In addition to being a board member at OSM, Elsass also is a board member for the Donald H. Elsass Scholarship Fund and the Grand Lake Health Care Foundation Advisory Board. 12 (888)

13 Board MeMBers He said the vision for the future at OSM belongs to many people, those who have a stake in what happens there: residents, partners and potential residents. Through many hours of conversation, he said, there are several desired projects that the stakeholders have decided need to be incorporated. Several of those ideas have already been started or accomplished. They wanted to add to physical therapy, which Elsass said has doubled in size. Projects launched include adding more library space, providing more space for exercise programs and adding a warm water pool. Together, these projects are creating an enhanced living center. Elsass also said OSM has signed a collaboration contract with the local YMCA. To make these goals happen, there are options for OSM, Elsass said. In tough economic situations such as now, fundraising is a necessity. Other monetary avenues can be explored through grants or stimulus money. He noted it is imperative to harvest the synergies that potentially exist with Otterbein supporters, YMCA supporters and senior community supporters in our area. There are exciting things to look forward to at OSM, he said. In addition to the prime waterfront property that can be developed as future residents find out what a fun place OSM is, Elsass said once the enhanced living center projects are completed, a small house neighborhood would be the next desired step. He feels confident OSM is doing what it needs to keep providing the kind of service to elders that is desired in today s world. We still need to always remember to keep the lines of communication open and functioning, he said. In giving his time to Otterbein, Elsass feels his efforts have been returned 10- fold. I have truly been paid back multiple times for my input, he said. I can t count the times I have come away with a sore muscle smile on my face after having lunch with Fred Wiswell (OSM executive director). If I have a downpoint in my day, I think about a 94-yearold resident dressed up in a pink hippo Halloween blow-up costume doing pirouettes down the hall! This is the true strength of Otterbein - the true magnet that draws others to us - we care about each other. How could God not help but be smiling! Otterbein Cridersville - Barb Lee Barb Lee has been the chair of the board at Otterbein Cridersville since February 2009 when then board chair Jon Rockhold resigned. The wife of The Rev. Wayne Lee, an ordained deacon in the United Methodist Church, she began her journey with Otterbein Cridersville almost immediately after it opened. At that time, she was a family physician in Wapakoneta and had patients who were residents in patio homes, assisted living and skilled care. Lee was impressed ed with the level of care and the personal attentio on that was given to the residents. When the board was establishe blished at Otterbei erbein Cridersville, she was asked to serve as chair of human resources ces. I was pleased to serve in that position as I could use my skills as a physician to improve the care of residents, she said. After the resignation of Rick Bell almost four years ago, she was then asked to serve as vice-chair of the board and she continued to serve as chair of human resources. She said her purpose on the board has evolved over the years. I initially served on the board to help improve the care residents received, she explained. As I have served for several years now, I can appreciate a much broader vision of developing a healthier lifestyle for senior citizens and to challenge each of us to make wiser choices each day. We can all work together to extend a more challenging and productive life for all of us. Particularly the concept of small houses is extremely exciting and rewarding. Dr. Lee is active in her local United Methodist Church in several capacities on the local, district and conference level. She also is a spiritual director and retreat leader. Referencing the five-star rating Otterbein Cridersville received in the last survey, she said, This challenges us to maintain this level of excellence. We are blessed and challenged with a building that has been empty since Lima District continued next page 13

14 Meet Your Board continued consolidated to form the Northwest Plains District of the United Methodist Church. We are adapting this building to form a club house for residents and hope to develop a computer lab and space for educational as well as recreational activities. We are in the midst of creating a community space and health center, which requires a capital funds drive. Our board is actively engaged in the future of Otterbein Cridersville and we are casting vision for now as well into the future and we plan to continue to offer excellence in care and lifestyle for residents, she said. Otterbein Portage Valley - Dr. Joe Frederick Dr. Joe Frederick has been a member of the Otterbein Portage Valley Board since He was chair from 2002 to 2006 and was recently elected again as chair in March He was a committee member before being a board member. Frederick s deceased mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer several years ago. He and his wife, Kathy, tried to match her needs with the services available in senior residential settings. The matching was not easy and they found a divergence of programs offered under many administrative styles of management. Frederick thought with his education and his experience, which included an administrative background in developmental disabilities where he was responsible for two state facilities housing 330 residents, that he could offer positive assistance to the direction of OPV. At that time, OPV was not one of the facilities that could offer a residential program to his mother. His father, a driving influence in his life, told Frederick every person has the responsibility to leave this world a better place than the way they found it. As a result of the father s example, community service is a priority in the son s life. Frederick was a charter member of the Ohio Special Olympics and has been co-coordinator of the meals committee for the Ohio Special Olympics Summer games. At the local level, he is a member of the Wood County Special Olympics Board and recently became a member of the Wood Lane Foundation Board. He also was a charter member and chairperson of the Black Swamp Humanitarian Awards Committee. He is a member of the Blessed John XXIII Parish, where he is a charter member and officer of the Knights of Columbus Council He also is the appointed mayor of his town, New Rochester. Frederick would like to see e OPV become a fiscally solvent entity, providing excellent services and seen as part of the surround nding communities. He sees challenges for all the Otter erbein communities, but is confident solu utions will be found. Like other Otterbein communities, ies, we are experiencing vacant beds, especially in our patio homes, Frederick said. Our past chair, Larry Moore, ore, organized a summit conference in which we invited the OPV board members, experts in condo living, apartment living, real estate and community leaders to discuss our situation. The excellent participation by the persons in attendance provided many options. Out of this meeting the central office, led by Don Gilmore and Jill Hreben, is developing workable options to deal with our vacancies. One of the solutions seen by the board is a community center and associated fundraiser to finance this center. Otterbein North Shore - Dr. Paul R. Lockwood II Dr. Paul R. Lockwood II became a member of the Otterbein North Shore Board of Directors in His term expires in Lockwood joined the Otterbein board at the request of The Rev. Harold Stockman. He started on the finance committee and as he became more involved, wanted to increase his own knowledge of the business of operating a retirement rem setting. When a vacancy becam me open on the boar oard, he jumped at the chance, he said. Outsid de of Otterbein, Lockwood is involved with several organizati tions and boards. He is a board member of the Commador ore Perry Federal Credit Union, n, vice president of the North Point Educational Service Center Governing ng Board, president of the EHOVE Career Center Board of Educat tion, member and past president of the OSBA Northwest t Region School Board, former trustee and executive committee member of the Ohio School 14 (888)

15 Boards Association (served on the audit, legislative and credentials committees of the association) and a member of the Ohio Society of Certified Public Accountants, The Ohio Association of School Business Employees and the American Association of School Business Officials. Lockwood is proud of Otterbein North Shore and the accomplishments made so far. I want Otterbein North Shore to always be thought of as the crown jewel of the Otterbein group, he explained. We have a great location, supportive residents and a caring staff and administrative team. There is so much potential for excellence that I see no reason that we can t continue to grow and improve. But he knows there are difficulties that face the community, chiefly among those the tumultuous state of the economy. I am happy to say that our board has been pro-active during the entire economic downturn. The board has supported the administrative team and made the difficult decisions that are needed to weather the storm. Expenses have been reduced. We have postponed some long-range programs and we continue to look at different ways of doing things without sacrificing any service to residents, he explained. NEW VP NAMED FOR OTTERBEIN LEBANON COMMUNITY Jason Miller was named vice president of Otterbein Lebanon Retirement Living Community in February. He began his new position March 16. Jason brings a wealth of knowledge and commitment to serving older persons, Otterbein Homes President and CEO Jill C. Hreben said, noting Miller is a licensed nursing home administrator and a registered nurse. Miller comes to Otterbein from Bethany Village in Dayton where he served as campus administrator to more than 700 residents I am looking forward to working with such a talented workforce at Otterbein and partnering with the residents and staff, Miller said. I feel blessed to join an organization that has such a rich heritage and history. Otterbein is a nationally renowned organization with a strong mission and ministry of serving older adults for the last 96 years. Miller holds a bachelor s of science and nursing degree from The Ohio State University and a master s degree in business administration from Indiana Wesleyan University. He and his wife, Sharon, have two children and reside in West Chester. Otterbein is a national leader in retirement living, and I plan on building on this to be innovative in becoming the pre-eminent retirement community in the state, and lead the nation in the effort to de-institutionalize health care, Miller said. 15

16 Never forget to follow the It is one of the golden rules of running a successful organization The customer is always right, even when they are wrong. In a presentation Feb. 9, Otterbein St. Marys resident Joe McClanahan stood up and spoke to the Otterbein Homes Board of Trustees. I want to share with you now what I believe is the reason we are all in this room today, he said. I want you all to know what I think I know. Sounds like an old educator, doesn t it? A good preacher one time told me a good sermon always has three points. I am not a preacher, so I will try to use several examples to make just one point, he quipped. McClanahan told the trustees some residents believe you think we are all little old ladies, who sit around and knit all day or little old men, who sit around all day and play checkers. Well, I hope I can help you never forget just who this customer is you serve. 16 Judy and Joe McClanahan OTTERBEIN Using his wife s former job as a fashion buyer for a small independent department store in Logan as an example, McClanahan said, She would go four to six times a year to New York City and deal with those folks in the garment district. The store had a policy that allowed customers to return any item at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. One day as I was waiting for Judy to get off work, I asked Mr. Elberfeld, the owner of this very successful store, about this very generous policy. His answer and I quote, The customer is always right even when they are wrong. In later years, he turned the management (888)

17 golden rule of the store over to his grandson, who either did not believe or know about the policy and the store only lasted about three more years. McClanahan, who has been on resident councils for several years, has visited all of the Otterbein campuses during the past two years. While visiting with as many residents and partners as I could, as well as with the other resident community presidents, I have come to believe the 11 residents who live on our street are a good cross section of the people you serve, he noted. Let me briefly tell you about my neighbors. A 91-year-old attorney, who still goes to the office. An associate editor for Newsweek magazine who also served on the board of directors of a cable TV company for 15 years. A beautician turned administrative assistant for a real estate company. A wife and mother of several small children who was trained and then operated the first home dialysis machine for 11 years so her husband was still able to go to work, until he passed away at the age of 46. A faithful and dedicated employee of the Goodyear Company for 42 years whose wife worked at Murphy s 5 and 10 cent store when you could buy something for a nickel or a dime. The couple also raised seven very successful children. And finally, a veterinarian and an industrial engineer. These are the kind of people you serve! And none of them have time to play checkers with me, McClanahan said. The customers you serve are intelligent, caring, hard-working and generous folks who love Otterbein Homes. My hope is this board of trustees, our local boards and all management personnel never forget the customers you serve! An educator, who taught young girls how to sew, cook, be good mothers and homemakers. A math teacher, who understands more about the inside of a computer than most. A teacher/trainer of small business owners. Medical lab technician, who now translates entire books into Braille and also is the volunteer coordinator for the campus. In future VISTAs, we will be highlighting residents in the various Otterbein communities. If you know of someone with a great story to tell, their name and contact information, as well as your own, to [email protected] or mail to Otterbein Homes, VISTA, 580 N.

18 Otterbein Portage Valley s New Rehab Area Makes Positive Difference The rehabilitation center at Otterbein Portage Valley has gotten a facelift and it Tis getting rave reviews from residents, partners and rehab guests alike. According to OPV Executive Director Tom Keith, the renovation of what is now the rehab area began at the end of The new look included new flooring, paint, lighting, carpeting and all new furniture. Keith said that they have had a very positive response to the renovation and all like the 15 private rooms with flat screen televisions. A private entrance leads into the new rehab area and completing the renovation is a private dining room and kitchenette. The response we are getting from those who have used the services is excellent, Keith said. This has been a wonderful addition to our community. We re seeing positive results. I guess you can confidently say we ve always had good care and good outcomes in all of our nursing areas, but since we ve created this specialty unit, I ve actually had one of the residents stand up in a resident council meeting and talk about how nice it was, how good the care was, how beautiful it is now and how thankful they are that we ve provided this amenity for the folks all over the campus in case they need it, he said. Norma Moon, a patio home resident at Otterbein Portage Valley since September 2008, used the rehabilitation offered at OPV for a month and a half starting at the beginning of December. I love it. I just love it, she said of the rehab service. It was very good. The nurses, the aides, even the maintenance ance men who would go through there. I still brag about it. 18 (888)

31 Life Insurance: The Forgotten Gift? DO YOU HAVE a life insurance policy you no longer need? Perhaps your other assets cover the protection you require, and the insurance policy lies forgotten in a safety deposit box. DID YOU KNOW that the policy could make a wonderful charitable gift to Otterbein? Instead of giving cash or stock, you could sign over your policy to Otterbein and, gener- ally speaking, receive a charitable income tax deduction for the replacementent value of the policy (or the cost basis if less). Otterbein could cash in the policy and put those dormant dollars to work right away. Your gift of life insurance can be used to establish a future endowment fund in your name... or you can honor someone else through the fund. The policy could also be used to assist with a capital project or to simply give the annual fund a mighty boost. If you have insura ance you may like to contribute, te, or if you are currently paying premiums ms on a policy and want to discover how this policy migh ght work as a gift, contact our development staff at or toll-free at , , or complete and mail the handy response for orm below.
