There is no true gracefulness which is not-epitetnized-goodness. —Samuel Butler The Jewish Home for Aged faci- lity at 11501 Petoskey will no longer participate in the Social Security Medicare program as of June 1. In a span of two years, the Home for Aged serviced some 300 extended hospital care patients, but as the government's regula- tions for application of the law be- came increasingly stringent, the Home found it impossible to serv- ice such patients. At present, there is no one in the home under the Medicare program. Mrs. Sylvia Serwin, administra- tor of the Jewish Home for Aged, explained that the home was forced to withdraw from the pro- gram partly because of the in- ability to obtain sufficient profes- sional nursing staff to render the special care, such as therapy, re- quired for Medicare patients. Mrs. Serwin said that the utili- zation of services was reduced to nil under the strict Medicare law. Originally, she said, the facility, and others like it, were covered for 100 days of service to each extended care patient. But then, the administrators of the Social Security program started to cut back. At the point where the Home for Aged withdrew, only seven days were being certified, she said. For an aged patient re- quiring therapy and other serv- . LETTER BOX Volunteers Praised for Giving Time to Aged and Lonely Editor, The Jewish News: Our community should take great pride in the activities of the women of various sisterhoods and the coordinating efforts of the nursing home committee of the Jewish Family and Children's Service. Six times each year, just before or during the holidays of Hanuka, Purim, Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashana and Sukot, over 100 wom- en pause in their own busy sched- ules to bring the beauty of our festivals to some 300 elderly, iso- lated Jews, residing in 14 area nursing homes. They bring with them, in addi- tion to the appropriate foods and observance of the holiday, a very special gift—the gift of time. Time to perform a service whose sole reward is knowledge that one has brightened the life of a fellow human being. Several of the sister- hood ttams visit their "friends" on a continuing bimonthly basis. Sisterhoods participating in this project are: Adas Shalom, Beth Abraham, Beth Achim, Beth Hillel, Beth Moses, Beth Shalom, Bnai D a v i d, Bnai Moshe, Livonia Jewish Congre- • gation, Temple Beth El, Temple Israel. Temple Emanu-El, Sha- arey Zedek and Young Israel of Oak-Woods. In addition, the "Person-to-Per- son" project of JFCS offers in- dividuals an opportunity to give meaningful volunteer service to the lonely of all ages living in our community. We are a community who cares, and we are very for- tunate to have within our midst men and women who have the abiity to give of themselves to enrich the lives of others. Our gratitude goes out to them for the magnificent job which they are doing.

"When the program was begun, everyone got on the bandwagon. The Social Security administrators weren't wise in projecting the costs that would be involved. But now, in clamping down, they've cut the aid to people who really need it." In many cases, commer- cial, proprietory homes require families of the patients to put down money in advance, just in case the Medicare funds don't come through, Mrs. Serwin said. She added that Medicaid, the Michigan program providing for skilled and basic care, is not affected by the withdrawal from Medicare participation. • r ju Greenfield-8 Mile Roads 4( -it -it •SATURDAY, • * * * * * MAY 1st!
