LeVine also is overseeing a project surveying the needs of nurses who work in homes for aged. Riskin says they want to find out how long-term care nurses view their role. Then they want to develop a set of recommendations and guidelines for nurses for the long-term care national organizations, such as the federal Health Care Financ- ing Administration, educators and public policy makers. "We need to make changes," Riskin says. "Now there is no body of information with guidelines for long-term health care nurses." The last project is educa- tion. LeVine is coordinating an Aging in the Future Con- ference for September 1990. tella LeVine describes her late father-in-law as a man who felt elderly people were neglected. He believed deeply that religion meant taking care of one's own people, she says. The Jewish Home for Aged began in 1907 on Brush Street in Detroit. Only a place to live, not nursing care, was provided. It moved in the mid-1930s to Petoskey in Detroit, where 52 people liv- ed and nursing care was pro- vided. The LeVine family donated a wing at the Petoskey home in 1954. As the population shifted, the Jewish Home for Aged moved to Borman Hall. A LeVine family memorial no longer existed; at the sugges- tion of former Home Ex- ecutive Director Chuck Wolfe, the Institute was founded to perpetuate the LeVine name. "Wherever the Home goes, LeVine will go with it," Stella LeVine says, adding she hopes to become a more active voice in the institute. Included in the LeVine family display at Borman Hall are antique tools made by the now-defunct family business, Federal Engineer- ing, a replica of a shop and a cube made by David LeVine. Riskin sits behind the same desk once used by David Cheryl Riskin: Working for the elderly. LeVine, the founder of Federal Engineering.
