The Year in Review Looking to the Future

Dear Friends of Resthaven,

The year 1945 was a significant one in our nation’s history. World

War II ended with the surrender of Germany (V-E Day) and of

Japan (V-J Day). The United Nations was created. The Detroit

Tigers defeated the Chicago Cubs in the World Series!!

It was also the year a small group of representatives from local

Reformed and Christian Reformed churches, headed by Rev.

Paul Hinkamp, formally organized Resthaven Care Community

in response to an identified need to care for senior adults in our

community. Resthaven began with a small house on the corner of

10th Street and College Avenue with 11 residents and a “matron.”

Today, we serve over 1,100 people with 383 employees by caring for

them in one of our residential settings or in their own homes.

For 70 years, Resthaven has been a not for profit, faith-based

organization dedicated to provide a continuum of quality care

and services to older adults. We are led by a Board of Trustees of

local community leaders who assure that we remain faithful to our

mission and manage the organization wisely. We are good stewards

of the resources provided us, including the charitable donations we

receive by many generous donors. We care deeply for the seniors

we serve as evidenced by the hundreds of notes we receive each

year from residents’ families and community members, and by the

outstanding results received from resident and employee surveys.

Our senior “saints” deserve the best care and quality of life

available, and for seven decades Resthaven has been a cornerstone

in our community in providing such care. In the following pages,

we hope to share with you a few glimpses into the life and mission

fulfillment that occur each and every day at Resthaven.

Sincerely,

Charles Vander Broek

Charles Vander Broek

Recently we had the

opportunity to sit down

with the children of Rev.

Paul E. Hinkamp, the

founder of Resthaven.

We wanted to capture

some of their memories

of their father’s efforts

to meet the needs

of seniors at a time when there were no senior care

communities in the area.

Q: Tell us about your father and how he developed

an interest in caring for older adults in the greater

Holland community?

Our father was a professor of philosophy, Bible

and religious education at Hope College from

1918-1945, then served as the college’s registrar

from 1945-1956. In the early 1940s, he recognized

that times were changing; older adults often

could no longer be cared for by their children or

other family members. His vision was to create a

“haven” for seniors in the community at no cost to

them, and the home would be supported by local

churches and individuals.

Q: What did it take for your father to gather the

interest in and support for such a home?

We remember, night after night, dad would finish

eating dinner and excuse himself to call on a

church board of elders, a church group or

an individual to present his case for supporting

a home for seniors. He solicited backing from

church leaders across denominations, always

Dr. James Hinkamp and Lois Hinkamp Boersma

seeing the creation of Resthaven as a cooperative

effort to benefit the community.

Q: When was Resthaven started?

In 1945, there were sufficient funds collected to

purchase a home on the corner of 10th Street

and Central Avenue. At first, it housed four men

(as it only had one bathroom), but eventually

housed eleven men and women, and a “matron”

responsible for the well-being of the residents.

One memory was of the residents complaining

on occasion that a guest preacher would pray so

long before a meal that the hot meal became cold!

Q: How long did your father remain involved in a

leadership role at Resthaven?

It soon became apparent that the need for senior

housing outgrew the small house, so again dad,

with many of the original board members, began

to seek funds to build a new facility. In 1948,

Resthaven purchased land on 32nd Street, then

“out in the country,” and opened a 26-room home

in 1955. The site is now Maple Woods, a home to

85 residents.

Dad remained involved with Resthaven,

sometimes even volunteering to do routine

maintenance, until his death in 1971. He would have

never dreamed that Resthaven would become what

it is today, serving over 1,100 seniors every year.

In 2012, the Hinkamp Garden was dedicated at the Resthaven Care Center in memory of Paul and Martha Hinkamp

VETERANS ARE HONORED AT COURTYARD CEREMONYIn July, in conjunction

with Hospice of Michigan,

Resthaven honored 22

World War II veterans who live at Resthaven at a

ceremony in the Care Center Courtyard. A brief

description of each veteran’s tour of duty was

read from a certificate given to them, and each

presented with a gold pin recognizing their service.

Several government officials participated.

Jarvis Zoet, age 90 years and resident of

Resthaven’s Maple Woods, was one of the veterans

honored. Mr. Zoet served in the Asian Theater as a

private first class in the US Marines during World

War II. He is pictured in his uniform, issued to him

at age 19 years.

RESTHAVEN RECOGNIZES A KEY VOLUNTEERThe 2015 Presidential Volunteer Service Award

recognized Barbara Beckford for her 2100+

volunteer hours of service to Resthaven. As a

retired work order

coordinator for a

local manufacturing

company, Barb has

become a valued

member of Resthaven’s

Care Center volunteers

assisting in tracking

and organizing

medical records, a very important process to

adhere to state and federal requirements.

“I love giving back,” say Barb. She joins

over 300 regular volunteers who assist in many

functions throughout Resthaven, and over 200

others who assist occasionally.

THE WARM FRIEND CELEBRATES 90 YEARSIt was 1925 when the

Warm Friend Tavern

opened in downtown

Holland as a hotel

“in the roaring 20s

that matched any small-town hotel nationwide.”

The six-story structure included an elegant lobby,

dining room, exhibit hall (later the Bier Kelder),

ballroom with orchestra loft, and hotel rooms and

apartments. Purchased by Resthaven in 1981, today

The Warm Friend is a comfortable home to 70

independent living residents.

On August 21, residents celebrated with

a lavish 20s formal dinner in the beautifully

decorated lobby, complete with entertainment

and reflections from a local Holland historian.

CONTINUINGOUR FAITH- BASED MISSIONSince its founding 70

years ago, Resthaven

has been committed to

providing a continuum

of compassionate care

to all served. This care

takes many forms. There are Bible studies and

worship services offered at each of Resthaven’s

residences. Our staff is trained to respect the

dignity, backgrounds and faith traditions of all our

residents and clients.

Rev. Leigh Van Kempen serves as Resthaven’s

Director of Pastoral Care and Chaplain. She

connects with residents and their families and,

when requested, supports them as they face the

challenges of aging.

GOOD SHEPHERD AWARD GOES TO MICKI JANSSENEach year since 2002, Resthaven

recognizes an individual or couple

who demonstrate an interest

in and passion for the care and

well-being of older adults in

our community with the Good

Shepherd Award. This year,

Resthaven recognized Micki Janssen with the award.

Micki served as an elementary school teacher for 32 years,

retiring in 2013. She served on Resthaven’s Board of Trustees from

1988 to 1996, and has spent countless hours volunteering to enhance

life enrichment activities for Resthaven residents.

COMMITMENT TO SERVICE EXCELLENCEFor the past two years a group of Resthaven staff members have

worked to identify standards by which all Resthaven employees reflect

our commitment to person-centered care. The standards are the

foundation of the “Resthaven Way – the Way We Behave Every Day.”

The five standards of service are: ownership, personalization,

professionalism, servanthood and teamwork. The Resthaven Way

guides our planning, our decisions, our leaders and our

direct-care workers. When staff is trained and empowered to make

good decisions guided by the Resthaven Way, residents and

workers are blessed.

The Resthaven Way team.

Looking to the FutureThe demographics are daunting. By 2040, 20% of the population will be over the

age of 65 years, and 3.5% (or 14 million people) will be over the age of 85 years.

The challenges of caring for this population include cost containment, the volatility

of funding sources including governmental assistance, recruiting and retaining

caregivers and other staff, and finding new efficiencies in care delivery.

Resthaven must enhance and expand our services, as we remain a local,

faith-based community offering a continuum of care for seniors. We must increase

our organizational strength in order to sustain and improve the ways we fulfill our

mission. We must build community awareness of the value of Resthaven and our

mission as we grow and improve our effectiveness.

Just as our founders sought community support to establish Resthaven over

70 years ago, Resthaven will need to reach out to our community supporters in

the months and years ahead to keep and enhance our services to seniors. We are

thankful for each and every donation we depend on which allows us to fulfill our

mission to seniors and remain a valued community resource.

During the past year, Resthaven’s financial position was positive. With an

operating budget of over $19 million, the revenue from residents and Home Care

clients, combined with our cherished contributions from donors,allowed Resthaven

to fulfill its mission of serving senior in the greater Holland/Zeeland area. Key

highlights include:

• 76% of the operating expenses were attributed to the housing, services and

life enrichment for the residents and clients we serve,

• Over $1 million was reinvested back into maintaining and improving our

facilities and equipment,

• The completion of the Care Center Courtyard which was made possible by

several generous donors and capital investment by Resthaven,

• Occupancy at Resthaven’s three residential facilities averaged 95%,

• Resthaven received contributions of over $280,000 from 390 donors and 274

memorial gifts,

• Resthaven contributed over $96,000 in benevolent care support to those who

were unable to meet the full cost of their care,

• The consolidation of Home Care and Administrative offices in the recently

purchased Washington Avenue location.
