Momiji Matters SERVING THE SENIOR COMMUNITY Summer 2 015 DONOR PROFILE: Pauline Doi A life well lived A unt Pauline, or Auntie as she was known fondly by all of her nephews and nieces, her great nephews and nieces, and her great-great nephews and nieces, was an independent, outgoing lady. Her independence was shown early on. It was during her Sunday school years when the English teachers could not pronounce her Japanese name that she chose her own English name. She chose Pauline, based on her love of the Canadian Mohawk poet Pauline Johnson, whom she admired very much. Born in Surrey, British Columbia in September 1913 to Ikutaro and Shige Fujishige who immigrated to Canada together in 1898, she was the fifth of seven children. She was born in a lumber camp and she lived in several camps before the family settled down and purchased a five acre farm in Port Hammond in 1918. The farm was bought so that the children could stay in one place and be schooled in both Japanese and English. Here, Pauline graduated from high school. Although Pauline loved her independence, family was very important to her, so in 1936 she moved to Vancouver where her sister Susie and husband lived with their four children: Kiyoshi Leslie (born in 1930), Satosi Leonard (1932), Minoru Terrence (1933) and Miki (1935). Twins Joichi Joe and Kanzi Kenneth would be born in 1938. She would remain in close contact with Susie and her family throughout her life, living with them in Tashme, New Brunswick and Toronto. Pauline was a proud Canadian despite the way she and other Japanese Canadians were treated by the Canadian Government when they were given the ultimatum that they had to move East of the Rockies or they would have to be repatriated to Japan, a country she had never seen. She stated in her family history that, “In spite of the way we had been treated this was my country, good or bad, I would never have left it voluntarily”. In September 1986, Pauline married Hajime Doi and together, they were two of the first group of tenants to move into Momiji. A dressmaker by trade, she was extremely active at Momiji and in addition to her craft, she loved flower arranging, was a member of the Japanese Garden Club and did decoupage and quilting. She loved to read and do crossword puzzles and enjoyed taking courses here at Momiji. She loved to travel, and made several trips to Europe by herself and in 1971 and 2006 she traveled to Japan and Hawaii. When she passed away in May 2014, Pauline left a very generous donation to Momiji. Why did she leave a bequest in her will to Momiji? Her nephew Ken believes it was because she was treated so well when she lived here at Momiji and she made many friends. She had many good times at Momiji, including a 100th birthday celebration where family and friends joined her to celebrate this momentous occasion. Some people may not be able to make a donation to Momiji Health Care Society during their lifetime, but no matter how big or small, a bequest gift can be the easiest and the best way to make a lasting impact to Momiji. A bequest will give you a great deal of satisfaction, knowing that your future gift will live on and make a difference. Bequests are well planned and tax-preferred gifts. You can leave a percentage gift, residual gift or a specific gift in your will. For more information on how to make a bequest, please contact Sheri-Lynn Armstrong at sheri-lynn@momiji. on.ca or by phone at 416.261.6683, ext. 259. MOMIJI HEALTH CARE SOCIETY IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION WHOSE OBJECTIVE IS TO ASSIST SENIORS, PRIMARILY OF JAPANESE CANADIAN DESCENT, AGE WITH RESPECT, DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE. Donor News Bowlathon – A perfect score! Our 10th annual Bowlathon was a record breaker - raising $33,000! These funds will assist in the refurbishing of Momiji’s 9th floor lounge, benefitting not only our tenants but also their family, friends and the community. Close to 200 participants of all ages enjoyed three games of bowling at Kennedy Bowl (10pin) and Parkway Bowl (5-pin) before returning to Momiji for a delicious bento box dinner and a prize-filled awards ceremony. We sincerely wish to thank our prize donors; many long time supporters and some very welcomed new ones. But most importantly, we are so very, very grateful to the bowlers, their friends, family and the Japanese Canadian community for the support to Momiji through their generous sponsorship. The Bowlathon is truly a family event so plan on joining us for next year’s event for some friendly and fun competition, while raising money for Momiji. Congratulations to our Momiji Volunteers! This year, six of our outstanding Momiji Volunteers were among those honoured by the provincial Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration with an Ontario Volunteer Service Award. The Ontario Volunteer Service Awards recognize individual volunteers for continuous years of commitment and dedicated service to an organization. Adults are recognized for five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30+, 40+, 50+ and 60+ years of continuous service. Momiij’s recipients were: Naomi Takasaki (20 years), Yutaka Chiba, Takako Morosawa, Eiko Watanabe and Doreen Morita (10 years each) and Sheila Matsui (5 years). Our sincere Four of our Ontario Volunteer Service Award recipients (from left to right): Yutaka Chiba, Naomi Takasaki, Takako Morosawa and Sheila Matsui with Pam Waintraub, Momiji Chair of the Board of Directors. congratulations to these individuals for their service and thank you to all Momiji Volunteers for their hard work and contribution! Momiji Foundation When Fred Sasaki founded the Momiji Foundation (MF) over 30 years ago, his intention was to create an organization with the mandate to support Japanese Canadian seniors. Fred had the foresight that this would be a vitally needed and growing requirement within the Japanese community. Fred was absolutely right and Momiji Health Care Society has been very fortunate over the years to be a recipient of many Foundation grants. This funding has made it possible to sustain the high quality of Momiji’s Support Services client care, Elderly Persons Centre programs, as well as offer subsidies for congregate dining and transportation services. Although Fred is no longer with us, his influence and contribution to the Momiji Foundation continues with his bequest gift of $200,000. The Foundation’s policy is to invest these funds with the generated interest income made available to charitable organizations serving Japanese Canadians. A Record Breaking Bazaar Momiji was a hub of activity at the end of March as we hosted our 20th annual community Bazaar. The Bazaar is Momiji’s largest fundraiser raising almost $35,000 - our most profitable ever! All proceeds from the Bazaar go towards furthering Momiji’s work. This year the emphasis will be on our outreach meal programs which provide nutritious and Japanese – themed meals to seniors living in the community. Our tenants will also benefit through support of their ongoing programs and special subsidies. Once again the Bazaar’s great success was only made possible through the tireless efforts and sacrifices made by our volunteers. And Momiji cannot forget to acknowledge the tremendous generosity of the Bazaar’s corporate donors and community partners, whose ongoing support ensured our success.

Zen Japanese Restaurant Education Programs You have been heard... Being Momiji’s Education Coordinator has been an exciting and exhilarating time for me over these past four months. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting all the instructors and many of the students, and besides offering some great suggestions and ideas; I was so impressed with their passion and commitment to ensure the quality of their lessons. Well you have been heard and I am happy to report that the following changes will take place beginning in the Fall with more to come in the following months: Streamlining the Registration Process: 1. Payment in full is due upon registration. It is highly recommended that payment be made before classes begin (in person or by mail) in order to reduce the waiting times for making payment on the first day of class. 2. Credit card (VISA and MC) and Debit payments will now be accepted. Cheques will continue to be accepted. Course Length Extended: Many of the 8 week courses will now run a total of 10 weeks, thereby eliminating the need to add extensions, saving instructors, students and Momiji staff time. As usual classes will begin mid-September, but will now continue through to the end of November. New Classes: In the works are Ballroom Dancing and daytime Line Dancing. However these new classes are dependent upon instructors’ availability, fees and student demand. Stay tuned. Need a Ride?

Digital art, handmade note cards, prints, jewelry and much more greeted visitors to Momiji on Saturday, June 20th. In addition to the beautiful creations by our artists and artisans, there was a Café Boutique where vintage goods, collectibles and Japanese wares could be purchased. Our Art Café offered hungry shoppers a vast array of food including pulled pork sandwiches, quiche, Asian noodle salad, and dozens of homemade desserts from “Death by Chocolate Cake” and “What’s Up Doc Carrot Cake” to Strawberry Fields and Rhubarb pie. Once again this year, there was a beautiful quilt, lovingly handmade and donated by the Nimble Thimble Quilters, which was raffled off and won by Kathleen Pianosi. The money raised from the sale will support Momiji and its Education programs. For fitness classes, we strongly recommend that students consult their physicians before registering, and remain well hydrated during each class. 2. For art and cooking classes, we ask students to please be careful and clean up their area after each class. If a spill or accident happens, instructors should report it right away at Momiji’s Reception desk in the Lobby, so our staff can contact the Maintenance department. 3. Momiji Centre is an active seniors’ residence and community gathering place. Our Education Program students are more than welcome to socialize in our common areas, such as the Café area by the Momiji Store, the Atrium Lounge, and Zero Sun Restaurant, so long as they don’t disrupt any other activities that are taking place. Coffee and cookies are available by the Momiji Store throughout the day, for a small charge. This beautiful quilt was raffled at our Art & More Sale. It was made by the very talented Nimble Thimble Quilters and the “Earthy Frames” pattern was designed by Kaffe Srett. Caregiver Support An interview with Keiko Hoshi, Momiji’s Client Intervention Worker Q: How does Momiji’s Intervention Services help applicants on the waiting list and keep attuned to the pulse and current needs of Japanese seniors living in the community? A: Momiji’s Client Intervention services provide without charge social work case management to seniors living in the community and at the Momiji residence. A wide spectrum of services of clientcentred care is offered to maintain and improve seniors’ quality of life and independent living. There has been a rise in the need for crisis intervention services for seniors in the community. The two most frequent requests for immediate help come from two groups: 1. Isolated seniors many of which are Shin-Ijusya (new immigrant) who have lost their social network upon retirement from work, lack family support and access nearby, and are experiencing decreased mobility and cognitive abilities that hamper their independence and confidence. 2. Senior couples where one spouse’s caregiving needs have dramatically increased and family support is not accessible or available. The emotional and physical stress of caregiving beyond one’s ability is beginning to cause health issues for the caregiving spouse. In both these case types, Momiji’s Client Intervention Services make a home visit to assess the need for immediate help and to assist in referring the seniors to organizations that can address their immediate needs as well with the longterm view to decrease isolation and improve quality of life. CASE STUDIES provide. The following are two examples of how Momiji’s Client Intervention Worker (CIW) has been of assistance to seniors in need in the community: The caregiving husband is 87-years-old and looking after his 87-year old wife who lives with physical and cognitive impairment. They live alone in a house without any ongoing support. A daughter lives nearby, but is not asked for help since the husband does not want his daughter to feel burdened. The wife refuses to go to her physician, receive home care services as well as receive personal care assistance from anyone including her husband. The wife is mostly bedridden and the husband performs all household and day-to-day living chores. Case 1: Isolated couple has no family living close by, is unaware of services available to them and is confused on how to access them. The 88-year old wife is looking after her 90-year old husband who lives with physical impairment and mild cognitive impairment after multiple strokes. They live alone in a house without any ongoing support in place. Their children live out of the province and visit them a couple times in a year. The first time Momiji’s CIW visited, this couple did not know how to access community support or how to ask for their children’s involvement to help better understand their situation and options. Since then the CIW has helped this couple put in place the following services: • • • the husband is attending an adult day program 2-3 times a week with transportation services; they both receive daily lunch and dinner service delivery to their home; and the husband receives PSW support for personal hygiene needs. The wife has expressed she is much happier now since her stress level has decreased due to receiving respite from some of the daily caregiving demands and from having some time to herself. The CIW has observed that this couple is happy to stay together living in their home with continued community supports, instead of being separated and the husband being moved to the nursing home. Case 2: Couple where one spouse requires increasing caregiving needs beyond what the other spouse can The husband has expressed that he is overwhelmed with his caregiving role, but continues to follow his wife’s growing demands and requests. The CIW referred the husband to the Alzheimer Society for caregiver counselling and to a community agency for group support. The CIW also referred the wife, who has multiple physical problems and cognitive issues to the Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network (GAIN) clinic. The CIW continues to follow up on this case.

A: モミジのクライアント・インター ベンションはコミュニティとモミジレ ジデンスで生活するシニアの方々にソ ーシャルワーク・ケースマネジメント を無料で提供します。シニアの方々の 自立した質の高い生活が維持・向上さ れるように、クライアント中心の様々 なサービスを提供します。 コミュニティで生活するシニアの方 々への危機介入が増えています。最も 頻繁に即時支援を必要とするのが次の 二つのグループです。 1. 独居老人の多くは新移住者で、退 職後に社会との繋がりが断たれ、 近くに家族がおらず、運動能力や 認知能力が衰え、自立心と自信を 失っている。 2. 老夫婦で、片方の介護の必要が大 きくなる一方で家族の支援が得ら れない。介護をする片方は精神 的・身体的なストレスが蓄積し、健 康の問題を抱えるようになる。 どちらの場合にも、クライアント・イ ンターベンション・サービスはクライ アントを訪問し、即時支援の必要性を 評価し、支援機関を照会します。それ によって当面のニーズの対応と、孤立 の軽減や生活の質の向上を目指した長 期的な取り組みが始まります。 事例 モミジのクライアント・インターベ ンション・ワーカー (CIW) によるコミ ュニティのシニア支援の事例を二つ紹 介します。 事例1.独居生活で支援を求める方法 を知らない老夫婦の場合 度重なる脳卒中で身体障害・認知障 害となった90歳の夫の世話をする88歳 の妻。二人は家で暮らし継続的な支援 を全く受けていなかった。子ども達は 遠方に住み年に2〜3回訪ねる程度。 CIWが最初に訪問した時、老夫婦は コミュニティ支援を求める方法や、子 どもに関与してもらう方法を知らなか った。CIWの援助で二人は次のような サービスを受けるようになった。 • • • 夫に:デイ・プログラム週2〜3回 の通所。送迎サービス付。 二人に:毎日昼食と夕食の宅配サ ービス。 夫に:PSWによる身の回りの世 話。 毎日の介護の負担が軽減され自分の 時間を持てるようになった妻は、スト レスが減って嬉しく感じている。夫が 長期ケア施設に入居することもなく、 コミュニティ支援で夫婦が一緒に生活 できるのは、二人にとって幸せだとCIW は見ている。 事例2.老夫婦の片方の介護負担が大 きくなる場合 87歳の夫は身体障害・認知障害の87 歳の妻を介護しながら継続的な支援を 受けずに家で暮らしている。近くに住 む娘に迷惑をかけたくないため援助を 求めない。妻は、ほとんど寝たきりの 状態だが医者の診察をはじめ、家事・介 護サービスを拒否。夫は日常生活の全 てを担っている。 夫は妻の介護の負担が限界だと感 じながら世話を続けている。CIWは、 この男性にアルツハイマー協会の介護 者カウンセリングと、コミュニティ支 援機関のグループサポートを照会し た。この女性には老人病アセスメン ト・インターベンション・ネットワーク (GAIN) のクリニックを照会した。現 在もCIWの事例追跡は続いている。 料理本の販売 食は文化の中心。そしてモミジの多 くの人が情熱を注いでいるものです。 この度、新しい料理本「カリナリー・コ レクション」が、モミジ居住者シーラ・ マツイさんとボランティア委員会によ って作成され、モミジ・ヘルスケア・ソ サエティの支援で出版されました。レ シピと、それにまつわるストーリーは モミジのコミュニティの人々から寄せ られたものです。この素晴らしい料理 本は、日本とカナダの伝統的なレシピ のほかに、モミジならではの多様性に 富むレシピが掲載されています。 「カリナリー・コレクション」は一 冊15ドルで販売しています。全ての 収益はモミジの支援プログラムに活 用されます。ご購入はリーまで。Tel: 416-261-6683 内線224 Eメール: [email protected] マイルストン 特別なお誕生日おめでとうございます エイミー・マクリーンさん101歳 カズコ・ウメモトさん101歳 ヒサ・アナザワさん100歳 (イーホン) おくやみ ご家族の皆様に心よりお悔やみを申 し上げます。(2015年2月1日〜6月30 日にご逝去) モミジ・シニアレジデンス • • • • ショウジ・イトウさん キヨシ・ケンザキさん サダオ・キタガワさん アヤ・ドロシー・ニシジマさ ん イーホンセンター • • • ナミコ・アキヤマさん ケイ・ナガマツさん アキコ・ツクダさん All Things Momiji Celebrating our Healthy Environment doctor allows infected individuals quick and easily accessible medical attention. By Birgi e Robertson It is always rewarding to be able to reap the benefits of foresight and extra effort, as often a positive outcome is only materialized over many years. Momiji’s Outbreak Reduction Program is one example. After reading an outbreak report on other health facilities for seniors, it occurred to me that Momiji in its 23-year history has only had three outbreaks – certainly the lowest by any institutional standard (2006 May – Enteric, 2010 Feb – Enteric and 2012 Jan – Respiratory). There are many factors that I can attribute this remarkable success: • Momiji’s Living Structure: individual living spaces reduce the chance to pass on germs as potentially infected individuals are more easily isolated. • Momiji’s Reporting System: staff and tenants monitor infected individuals and report their conditions to Support Services for immediate action. • Momiji’s Maintenance: to reduce the spread of germs during flu season, elevator buttons, all door knobs in the common areas, stairway bannisters and tenant hallway railings are disinfected.
