THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Family Service Seeks Applicants for Elderly Housing Jewish Family Service is seeking applicants for an experimental Group Resi- dences for Elderly program. JFS President Gilbert B. Silverman said the project is aimed at senior adults who are unable to manage independent living but who are not so infirm as to need nursing home care. They will be able to remain in the ommunity in a family set- ting, rather than an institu- tional setting. Each group residence will be a three-bedroom, two- bath apartment in a high- rise apartment building lo- cated near shops, synagogues and bus lines. Three senior adults will share each apartment. Al- together 12 persons in four separate apartments will be served during the experi- mental phase of the pro- gram, which has been funded with a grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of United Jewish Charities. Residents' monthly fee will include rent and all utilities, food and the services of a housekeeper five half-days a week. Residents who can't af- ford the full fee, esti- mated at $600 a month, may be subsidized, Sil- verman said. However, subsidies are limited, and the agency also is seeking applicants who can pay the full fee, perhaps with assistance from their families. Our target groups are people who just can't live alone, either because of physical handicaps or be- cause they're becoming forgetful as they grow older, and who also have need for socialization," said Arlene Goldberg, casework super- visor at Jewish Family Service, a Jewish Welfare Federation member agency. For example, one gent- leman whom we've accepted into the program is a widower who lived inde- pendently in an apartment until he fell and broke his hip. He was in a nursing home to convalesce, but now he's better, although he's still weak and must use a cane to walk. "Since his accident he's been unable to manage his wn apartment; he can't do s own housework, laundry 1 1117 shopping. But he's alert and sociable and still inde- pendent — he doesn't want Aa Deli, Programs at MSU Hillel A kosher deli has opened at the Bnai Brith Hillel Jewish Student Center at Michigan State University.

The Group Residences for Elderly program is per- fect for him." Paiticipants will have to be able to take care of themselves, Mrs. Goldberg said. They'll have to be able to use the phone and stove and be capable of bathing and dressing themselves, but the housekeeper will do the shopping, cooking and cleaning to the ex- tent the seniors will need assistance. A few similar programs are in existence in other communities and they have been working out well, she said. Two years of planning went into the project, Sil- verman said. The idea was initiated by Joseph Garson and Al Colman, past presidents ofJewish Family Service. Marvin Daitch, who chaired the project planning committee and is currently chairman of the agency committee overseeing the project, said the agency hopes to have the first group residents operating by the end of November. Residents will be encouraged to furnish their own bedrooms but the common areas, such as the living room and kitchen, will be furnished by Jewish Family Serv- ice. Zena Baum, a JFS social worker, has been interview- ing applicants for the pro- gram. "Compatibility is very important when we decide who should live together," she said. "It's hard for ,people who have been living on their own to give up their own home, so we're trying very hard to find people who will get along well together and would enjoy the shared living of a groups residence in an apartment setting." Persons interested in the program should contact Mrs. Baum at the Jewish Family Service, 559-1500.
