In their mid-80s and beset by Alzheimer’s disease and two types of cancer, respectively, Jewish Russian immigrants Dina and Isaak Freylikhman of San Francisco consider themselves blessed that the L’Chaim Adult Day Health Center exists.
However, the Freylikhmans and thousands of other Californians like them are in danger of losing the ability to live on their own. If the state Legislature approves Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposal to cut $1.7 billion from Medi-Cal, some $486 million for more than 300 Adult Day Health Care programs in the state would be eliminated.
