Dear Friend:
Living Resources began 2008 with its corporate energies diligently focused on organizational
growth and community opportunities. Coupled also with a strong desire to meet the ever-emerging
needs of those who come to us for services, we again produced the kinds of service results on
which this agency has built its reputation. This past year agency services grew by 9%. This
growth was evident in most programs, but most especially in residential services, day services and
the College Experience Program.
We continued to recruit and retain excellent staff. With our expanded in-house training programs
emphasizing the latest information about disabilities and care-giving skills, we have enhanced our
standard of care and raised the bar for all who serve individuals with disabilities in our communities.
The employees of this organization are on a mission to treat everyone with dignity and respect
and to achieve valued outcomes. We measure quality first and foremost by the happiness, skill
acquisition and wellness of the individuals we serve, by the annual family satisfaction survey, and
by the frequent regulatory approvals from the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental
Disabilities and the Department of Health.
The annual family survey again showed high levels of satisfaction for the services received and
family members were very complimentary of the responsiveness of communication with staff at
all levels. Our relationships with government funding agencies also remained very positive and
cooperative during most of the year, but the outlook for funding new initiatives in 2009 does not
appear to be as rosy. We are ever mindful that New York State’s budgetary concerns may affect
the development of future services and may even affect the delivery of some current services.
So far, our strategies to preserve the fiscal health of this organization are paying off.
The unmet needs for services, specifically in residential and day habilitation programs, service
coordination and supportive services for families, remained strong priorities throughout the year.
We have been working closely with our families and funding sources to create new services that
address the needs being expressed: The After School Program expanded its services to include full
day programs for students during school vacation breaks; the very popular Carriage House Arts
Center programs have become more accessible to community families because of Medicaid waiver
certification for the Albany and Malta sites; and, the Acquired Brain Injury Program and Employment Services have been able to increase their service capacities.
The challenges we faced in 2008 were weathered because of careful decision-making and responsible
fiscal supervision. As a result, our financial outcomes for the year mirrored our equally impressive
program and operational achievements. In spite of the turbulence of the financial markets and the
global recession, we are more confident than ever about the near and long-term health of this
organization. No matter how uncertain the economic climate may become, however, Living
Resources will still have the benefit of its well-qualified staff and dedicated boards of directors
vigorously working to preserve and protect the quality of its programs and its fiscal viability.
Perhaps more than any other corporate assets, it is the wise council of board members and the
talents and endurance of the staff that deserve the lion’s share of credit for where Living Resources
is today. Our thanks to you all.
Sincerely,
Donald D. Bourque, Ph.D.
President, Board of Directors
Fredrick W. Erlich
Chief Executive Officer
2008The Year in Review
The Employment Services program, with its goal to help individuals with disabilities find and maintain
jobs that match their interests and abilities, increased its capacity by 13% over 2007. In addition to
serving 126 individuals throughout the year, Employment Services began developing internships and
providing job coaching for the students in the College Experience Program. Some of the completed job
placements during the year included clerical positions, stock clerks, food service workers, assembly
jobs and a floral assistant. The average wage for those placed was $9.84 and the average number of
hours worked was 20 hours per week.
positive
The College Experience Program (CEP) in collaboration with
The College of Saint Rose continued to respond to the demands to expand college experience opportunities for individuals with disabilities in the Capital District. By August 2008,
the program had 13 students in the two-year certificate program and the agency had acquired and renovated another
house near the college campus for student housing. On May
10, 2008, the second CEP class of four was awarded certificates of completion at the college graduation ceremonies at
the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. This year the staff was
also heavily invested in creating new outreach efforts to high schools, guidance counselors, case
managers, parents and students. It is their hope that these contacts will provide a steady stream of
interested applicants and that CEP enrollment will continue to increase.
In addition to providing services such as skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapies, and
speech language pathology services, the Living Resources Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA),
also performs Peer Review Instrument assessments (PRIs) for most of the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
programs in the region. These assessments which are required annually by TBI waivered programs can
only be billed to Medicaid by a CHHA or a hospital. In 2008, the Living Resources CHHA provided
this service for 147 individuals. Fifty-eight of these individuals were receiving at least one other service
from Living Resources, but the other 89 individuals were recommended to our CHHA for their PRIs
because of our reputation for timeliness and accuracy.
accessible
The Acquired Brain Injury Program (ABI) expanded the Out-N-About
activities to include more community-based opportunities for
individuals who wish to increase the job and social skills they have
lost as a result of an acquired or traumatic brain injury. One of the
most popular work sites established in 2008 was the collaboration
between Living Resources and Proctors Theater in Schenectady. The
work site started out to include predominately janitorial services, but
because of the hard work and commitment of the ABI participants
and staff, Proctors has expanded the work experiences to include the
running of the used book store in the Proctors Arcade. The ABI
crew can be found operating all phases of the business on Fridays
from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. In 2008, the ABI program also
expanded its client base to begin serving veterans.
MeetingLife’s Challenges
Named for one of the Living Resources
founders and first board president, the Bishop
Howard J. Hubbard Awards Luncheon took
place on April 24 at the Albany Marriott. The
2008 honorees were Dr. R. Mark Sullivan,
President of The College of Saint Rose and
Assemblyman James Tedisco, Minority Leader
of the New York State Assembly. The award
recipients were honored for their extraordinary support of individuals with disabilities:
Dr. Sullivan was instrumental in establishing
the partnership between Living Resources and The College of Saint Rose which became the very
successful College Experience Program; and Assemblyman Tedisco was honored for his strong advocacy
of the disabled throughout his career in state government.
confident
The After School Program (ASP) included new opportunities for its
students with the addition of the Adventure Program. The purpose of
these new activities is to provide families with a safe and interesting
daytime schedule for their youngsters during school vacations when
parents still must work. In 2008, school vacation activities were
scheduled for Regents exam days in January, February winter break
days, and the last two weeks in June. Activities included a variety of
indoor and outdoor events such as day trips to museums, parks and
attractions such as Howe Caverns. There were also plenty of opportunities to participate in all sorts of sports from swimming to bowling to
miniature golf. The success of the Adventure activities has insured that
the ASP vacation programs will continue to be offered in the future.
Living Resources was named the 2008 Charity of Choice for the GHI
Workforce Team Challenge. This annual event, sponsored by the
Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club, takes place in downtown
Albany every May and attracts almost 7,000 runners and walkers
representing nearly 400 public and private companies/organizations
and school districts. Living Resources race participants and volunteers
used the race to raise $4,800 for the Employee Appeal which benefits
the individuals who receive program services.
cooperative
After several years of providing services at only one location in Albany,
Site Based Day Habilitation completed the establishment of three “close
to home” sites across the Capital Region: Albany, East Greenbush and
Schenectady. Living Resources site-based day habilitation now can
serve a maximum of 70 people which is a 16% increase in program capacity over previous years. A special “Senior Room” was also started in June 2008 at the Schenectady
site which focuses on daily activities of interest to individuals who are 55 years old and older.
2008The Year in Review
The Human Resources Department had much to be proud of in 2008. Job applications from friends
of current employees increased by 10% over the previous year indicating what we all know: Our employees believe that Living Resources is a great place to work and often refer their friends to the
agency when there are job openings. The department also reduced the number of First Aid and Workers Compensation claims by 50% (only 54 claims in 2008 as compared to 108 in 2007) with a series
of safety and wellness articles in the agency newsletter and individual follow ups with employees who
may have been injured on the job.
dedicated
Thanks to a very generous donation of $25,000 from CDPHP, the Living Resources Employee Health
and Fitness Center was opened for use in July. Officially named for Dr. William J. Cromie, the retired
President and CEO of CDPHP, the center was dedicated on June 18 at a recognition ceremony and
luncheon in his honor at the Albany headquarters on Washington Avenue Extension. At the dedication
ceremony, Dr. Cromie praised Living Resources for its commitment to employee health and wellbeing
and said the health center at the CDPHP headquarters was one of the most important benefits his
company had provided for CDPHP workers during his tenure.
The Living Resources Annual Agency Picnic for program participants, families and staff took place on July 18 at the
Krause’s Pavilion in Clifton Park. The staff and program participants were presented with bright yellow Living Resources
T-shirts as this year’s picnic favor and five of our residents received their “25 Year Club” jackets. Almost 20% of the individuals who come to us for residential services have lived with
us for 25 years or more.
talented
With the benefit of Voluntary Residential Maintenance Program grants from the NYS Office of Mental
Retardation and Developmental Disabilities totaling $294,000, the Living Resources Maintenance
Department was able to complete several residential repairs and renovations throughout the year. New
fire alarm systems were installed in seven houses, some roofs, floors and garage doors were replaced,
and four bathrooms and one kitchen were renovated. Other major
residential projects included the installation of central air conditioning
for one residence and the vinyl siding of another.
The Carriage House Arts Center shows and events were very much in
demand throughout the year. In addition to producing 17 shows
around the state, the arts program also monitored six permanent
collections of pieces created by our artists at various sites in the Capital
Region. 2008 shows featured at the Miller Sanders Gallery at the
Living Resources headquarters included “Music and Motion = Art,”
“Magazine Pop Culture” and “Wonders of the Circus.” In 2008, our
art services program also received state certification making it part of
the supplemental day habilitation program services. As a result of this
change, after school and weekend art services will now be available to
families with Medicaid waivered individuals living at home.
MeetingLife’s Challenges
Living Resources was the recipient of four Legislative Initiative
Grants in 2008: Senator Hugh Farley sponsored a grant of
$25,000 which was used for computer equipment and residential
renovations; Senator Joseph Bruno’s $20,000 grant was used for
renovations and landscaping at various residences and for
educational and therapeutic instruction for the new After School
Program music initiative; Assemblyman Ron Canestrari sponsored
a $5,000 grant which was used for technology supplies in the
College Experience Program and art supplies for the Carriage
House Arts Center; and Assemblyman George Amedore sponsored a grant for $3,600 for Automated External Defibrillators
(AEDs) for two program locations.
The 18th Annual Culinary Cornucopia in November was truly a night to remember. The sold-out event
was the culmination of a day-long competition among chefs who were being judged by Master Chefs
from the American Culinary Federation; the judges took into account the presentation of the dishes, the
choice of recipes and overall cooking techniques. In all, 16 executive chefs from the Capital Region’s
most elegant restaurants competed. The Presenting Sponsor for this year’s event was Northeastern Fine
Jewelry owned by board member Ray Bleser. The 2008 “Heart of the Cornucopia” Award was given to
David Ginsberg for over ten years of behind-the-scenes support of the event. The duties of hosting the
event were shared by Channel 13’s Benita Zahn, Master Chef Dale Miller, and owner of the Reel
Seafood Company LeGrand Serras. And, the food was priceless!
At the 2008 State of the Agency luncheon, the Employee
Appeal Disbursement Committee announced that the
following funds would be available to programs in 2009:
$3,000 for the use of summer residential activities including
vacation and day trip expenses; $2,000 for summer activity
expenses in non-residential programs; and $4,000 for the
traveling arts program for residents who are unable to get
to one of the three art centers located in Albany, Saratoga
and Schenectady. The Employee Appeal Fund was created
by employees for the benefit of those who come to Living
Resources for services.

Donations received January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008
Living Resources is grateful for the support of its many community partners. The important work of
this agency on behalf of individuals with disabilities and acquired/traumatic brain injuries can only
continue with a commitment of time and a sufficiency of dollars from all segments of the community.
Without the ongoing support of board members, those we serve and their families, our employees,
interns and volunteers, and our community stakeholders, innovative programming and the successful
delivery of requisite services would not be possible. Thank you.
