Management TEAM Letter from Pam Flynt Tambo, Executive Director Dear Visitor, The most critical questions we ask ourselves as managers of Hillside House are What makes a home? and What makes a full and interesting life? The answers to these questions guide our decision-making and form the principles we come back to when we plan for the future. Our goal is always that each person who lives here will experience the love, positive support and security that a home can provide. Many visitors, family members and residents have said they can feel the presence of these qualities as soon as they walk through the front door. If we are successful in creating these conditions, it is done through collaboration between our residents and our staff. Through the residents’ trust, hope and determination we are inspired to meet their needs and help them become increasingly more independent. There is beauty in this system. If you have not experienced it, we invite you to stop by for a visit. And if you know first hand what I’m referring to, we hope you will choose your own way to support and reinforce it. Pam Flynt Tambo, MA, CRC, Executive Director

Pam Flynt Tambo came to Hillside House in 2001 with a background including teaching and more than 25 years working in the disabilities field.

At Hillside House, we are very conscious of our responsibility to maximize our financial resources to provide direct services to our residents.

Letter from Jim Wolfe, Board President

Dear Friends,

     When I joined the Board of Hillside House in 2003, I did not yet know what an exceptional place Hillside House is.  It is only by visiting, by talking to the parents, residents and staff, by hearing the inspiring and moving stories over the years, and by seeing the level of care and compassion that is fostered, that one can truly appreciate the importance of what goes on here. After six years of service on the Board of Directors, I was honored to be elected President.  The Board is committed to doing our best to help this remarkable organization carry out its mission of creating an optimum life for each of its residents, a mission we have pursued for over 65 years.

     A compassionate and just society takes care of those who cannot care for themselves.  At Hillside House, we do more than care for the physical needs of the residents, we foster their individual abilities, dreams and passions, so that they can achieve their highest potential. 

     As a Board, we have the responsibility of looking after the longevity of Hillside House.  In recent years we have shepherded this organization through some tough times, establishing a more thriving and stable foundation, and we are planning for the future.  Every dollar we raise for Hillside House means a higher quality of care for the residents, more life-enriching experiences, more possibilities. The gap between what we receive in public funding and what we actually spend on the well-being of our residents is currently about $1000 a day.  So we work hard to form and strengthen partnerships throughout our community that help to close gap and help Hillside House to flourish.

     I encourage you to visit Hillside House.  I believe you will be touched by the quality of care and the enthusiasm for life of our residents, as I have been.

Sincerely,

Jim Wolfe, President
