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.
