Identifier ReturnReference Explanation
    PART I, LINE 7: SCHEDULE H IS COMPLETED FOR THE LISA AND ERNEST AUERBACH GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY UNIT, A 10-BED ACUTE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. THIS UNIT, WHICH IS ONE SEGMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S OPERATIONS, DID NOT PROVIDE CHARITY CARE OR OTHER SPECIFIC COMMUNITY BENEFITS AS LISTED ON LINE 7 FOR THE YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2013. ALL CARE PROVIDED BY THE UNIT IS TO MEDICARE OR HMO/INSURANCE PATIENTS. THEREFORE, PART I, LINE 7 IS BLANK.
    PART III, LINE 4: THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A FOOTNOTE DISCUSSING BAD DEBTS.
    PART VI, LINE 2: EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING SENIORS TODAY. THE DIFFICULT CHANGES AND MEDICAL ISSUES MANY OLDER ADULTS EXPERIENCE FREQUENTLY LEAD TO IMPAIRED MENTAL HEALTH. NEARLY 20 PERCENT OF THOSE 55 YEARS AND OLDER EXPERIENCE MENTAL DISORDERS THAT ARE NOT PART OF NORMAL AGING. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OFTEN UNDER-RECOGNIZED, UNDER-TREATED AND, AS A RESULT, PREVENT SENIORS FROM ENJOYING A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE.TO ADDRESS THIS GROWING CONCERN, THE LOS ANGELES JEWISH HOME OPERATES THE LISA AND ERNEST AUERBACH GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY UNIT (AGPU). LOCATED WITHIN THE HOME'S JOYCE EISENBERG KEEFER MEDICAL CENTER IN RESEDA, THE AGPU IS DEDICATED TO SENSITIVELY AND SUCCESSFULLY TREAT PSYCHIATRIC DISEASE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS IN SENIORS.THE JEWISH HOME COMMITTED ITSELF TO CREATING THIS UNIT BASED ON THE FOLLOWING ASSESSMENT:* ACCESS - ACCESS IS LIMITED IN OUR AREA FOR GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY UNITS SINCE SEVERAL HAVE CLOSED IN THE PAST YEAR. AMONG THE CLOSED UNITS ARE ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL OF OXNARD LPS, SIMI VALLEY AVENTIS LPS AND LOS ROBLES HOSPITAL GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY. ALL OF THESE UNITS PROVIDED SPECIALIZED CARE TO PATIENTS 55 AND OVER AND ALL HAVE BEEN CLOSED PERMANENTLY.* LIMITED GERIATRIC BEDS - GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY BEDS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA ARE LIMITED. ENCINO HOSPITAL HAS 14 LPS BEDS, SHERMAN OAKS HOSPITAL HAS 22 LPS BEDS, AND VERDUGO HOSPITAL HAS 24 LPS. ALL ARE INVOLUNTARY UNITS. AGPU IS THE ONLY KNOWN VOLUNTARY GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY FACILITY IN THE AREA AT THIS TIME. THE AGPU OBTAINED ITS LPS DESIGNATION IN MAY 2010 AND MAY NOW ADMIT BOTH LPS AND VOLUNTARY GERIATRIC PATIENTS.* SPECIALIZED CARE - THE AGPU ALSO SERVES A VERY SPECIALIZED POPULATION - THE GERIATRIC POPULATION SUFFERING FROM PRIOR LIFE TRAUMA, INCLUDING THE HOLOCAUST, RAPE, ASSAULT AND ELDER ABUSE. OUR STAFF IS TRAINED TO DEAL WITH THIS SPECIAL POPULATION. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 70 OTHER RESIDENTS/PATIENTS ON OUR CAMPUSES IN VARIOUS LEVELS OF CARE WHO HAVE HAD PRIOR LIFE TRAUMA.* KOSHER - THE AGPU IS THE ONLY KNOWN GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT IS A KOSHER FACILITY. OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART, 10-BED, IN-PATIENT TREATMENT FACILITY INCORPORATES THE JEWISH HOME'S NATIONALLY-ACCLAIMED MODEL OF COMPREHENSIVE, HIGH QUALITY CARE BY ATTENDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE WHOLE PERSON-MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT - IN A CALM, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT. THE FOCUS IS ON REDUCING SYMPTOMS THROUGH AN INTEGRATED, MULTI-SERVICE APPROACH.THE AGPU SERVES SENIORS 60 AND OVER WHO ARE EXPERIENCING MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL CHANGES THAT REQUIRE INTENSIVE TREATMENT. PATIENTS MUST HAVE A PRIMARY PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS, AND ARE ADMITTED ON A VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY (LPS) BASIS ONLY FOR SHORT-TERM CARE. FOLLOWING TREATMENT, THE PATIENT RETURNS TO THEIR PRIOR RESIDENCE AND CARE OF THEIR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN.THE AGPU IS A NEEDED AND ESSENTIALLY DISTINCT AND VALUABLE ENTITY FOR THE SENIOR COMMUNITY. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT THE JOYCE EISENBERG KEEFER MEDICAL CENTER WAS CREATED AS AN ACUTE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. THE BEDS DESIGNATED AS GERIATRIC-PSYCHIATRY ARE INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE ACUTE PSYCHIATRIC NEEDS OF ELDERLY RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY.
    PART VI, LINE 3: DURING THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS, THE RESIDENT'S INSURANCE COVERAGE IS VERIFIED. THOSE RESIDENTS WHO ARE NOT COVERED BY MEDICARE OR HMO/INSURANCE ARE ADVISED THAT THEY MUST PAY THE PRIVATE RATE.
