Honoring Our Parents ... Together
JEWISH HOME AND
AGING SERVICES
T
hey used to call it the "old folks home" —
a place where elderly Jews lived out their
final years.
Today, "older folks" are a whole lot different.And so
is this 93-year-old agency of the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit.
Institutional housing is no longer the single answer.
Today, there are options. Home care and transportation,
volunteer services and assisted living. Day care for
individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Chaplaincy services for
residents of nursing homes and guardianship for those with
no family to see to their financial and personal well-being.
Jewish Home and Aging Services is more than a home.
Besides operating Fleischman Residence — an assisted
living facility with 108 residents — JHAS provides a wide
range of outreach services that are bringing comfort and
care to several thousand older adults.
Working closely with other Federation agencies through
the Commission on Jewish Eldercare Services, Jewish
Home and Aging Services relies on staff and hundreds of
volunteers to improve the lives of our community's
older members.
Their commitment is supported by Federation's Annual
Campaign, along with other funding sources like the Irving
A. Rubin Jewish Community Trust for the Elderly and
The Jewish Fund. And a whole lot of other people who
have set up funds to make the lives of our older adults
just a little bit better.
It's not easy, growing old.
But it's a whole lot easier when a community cares.
