Seniors
Older adults and their families know that at JFCS, they will receive the care, attention, and services that will allow them to remain healthy, active, and independent for as long as possible.
JFCS’ highly regarded programs for seniors include Seniors At Home, our award winning home care and case management program, L’Chaim Adult Day Health Center, and our Holocaust Survivor Services.
Seniors At Home, the award-winning senior services division of JFCS, helps seniors live safer, healthier, more independent lives in their own homes. Services include:
Home Care: Exceptional care comes with caregivers of the highest caliber. Personal attendants and skilled nurses provide assistances after illness or hospitalization and enable seniors to balance their desire to be independent with their need for safety.
Care Management: From needs assessments and personal care plans to matched caregivers and ongoing support, we ensure older adults’ safety, security, and independence. We coordinate all the details, often in conjunction with physicians and medical groups, so our clients can be at ease.
Concierge Care: Help with everyday tasks, enabling seniors to continue living at home safely and comfortably. Designed for seniors not requiring home care services.
Palliative Care: For people of all ages facing a chronic or serious illness, our award-winning Palliative Care team helps improve quality of life and relieve physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering. We also support dying clients and their families.
Fiduciary Services, Money Management, & Conservatorships: Comprehensive financial services—bill paying, household management, and medical claims are handled for you. Our agency can also act as a durable power of attorney, a trustee, or executor, as well as conservator for at-risk clients. Our licensed fiduciaries make sure you are financially safe and allow you to maintain as much control as you like over your finances.
