The Mayer-Rothschild Foundation
I was honored to be named Executive Director of The Mayer-Rothschild Foundation as of January, 2018.
I have worked with the Foundation, and its predecessor, the Hulda B. & Maurice L. Rothschild Foundation, and its late founder and President, Dr. Robert N. Mayer, for over two decades.
I am proud to work with our President, Debra E. Weese-Mayer, MD, in pursuit of a person-centered care designation of excellence denoting residential settings serving older adults across the nation.
The Foundation is pleased to announce its new research partners for The Mayer-Rothschild Foundation Designation of Excellence in Person-Centered Long-Term Care in November 2023. Updates can be found at www.mayerrothschild.org
In December 2023 the Foundation is proud to launch its work with New York University's Hartford Institute of Geriatric Nursing and Rory Meyers College of Nursing as our research and practice partner.
In addition the Foundation and NYU have selected five Centers of Excellence as design participants and data collection portals for our research and application strategies:
Bethel New Life, Chicago, Illinois;
Garden Spot Communities, New Hope, Pennsylvania;
The New Jewish Home, New York, NY, and Westchester County;
Beatitudes Campus, Phoenix, Arizona;
Sequoia Senior Living, San Francisco and Oakland, California.
The idea is to embed the resident's voice at the center of all care, treatment, built-environment and governance decisions of the care communities where they live.
Evanston Animal Shelter Association
Our firm was engaged in 2021 to sercure the private funds needed to build the new Evanston Animal Shelter in Evanston, Illiinois., The City of Evanston recently demolished the old building, and the new, $7.2 million, no-kill, LEED Silver Evanston Animal Shelter serving Evanston, North Shore suburbs and unincorporated Cook County, will be open in Spring, 2024. Many thanks to Cook County for its $2.85 M grant to the new Shelter, and to the people and government of Evanston who have commited to this vital new community center.
The public phase of the Shelter's capital campaign launches in January, 2024 with the announcement of acquiring $600,000 in private funds toward its $1.2 M goal.

A Shelter is not a pound; it is now a social service agency.
