A LETTER FROM THE CEO-PRESIDENT

At the conclusion of another meaningful year in our
development, it strikes me that the Jewish Home is like a fne
wine: strong, bold, and better with age. In 2013, our programs
and services already national models for quality senior care
continued to set new standards for innovation and excellence.

I am particularly proud of the newly launched Connections
to Care. With a single phone call, seniors and their family
members or health advisors can now access the Jewish Homes
wide array of in-your-home, community-based, and in-residence
programs and services. These include independent living, adult
day healthcare, community clinic, home health and personal
care services, short- and long-term care, hospice care, palliative
care, acute psychiatric care, and personalized bridge programs.
Today, the Jewish Home is both a leading provider of senior
healthcare services for the community and a premier residential
care facility. Connections to Care enables all seniors in need to beneft from the Homes life-
sustaining warmth and expertise.

It is the unfagging commitment of supporters, volunteers, staff, and countless others that paves
the way for the Jewish Homes track record of achievement. Your energy, passion, and generous
contributions of time and resources have allowed us to sustain our services, to expand our
capacity, and to establish groundbreaking initiatives, from Care Transitions and the Brandman
Centers for Senior Care to the ongoing development of our remarkable new Gonda Healthy
Aging Westside Campus in Playa Vista.

Of course, there is still much work to be done. Meeting the full breadth of seniors needs,
throughout our community, will require even greater dedication, more collaboration, and a
shared vision of where we want to go. The coming year is sure to bring fresh challenges and
new opportunities. Working together, we will continue to do exceptional things.

CEO-President
