ith little more than a
month's notice, some local
familieS found themselves
•
scrambling to secure a new
facility for their senior relatives when
Elan Village closed its doors in
Southfield on July 31.
By all accounts, Elan Village,
Michigan's only private and kosher assist-
ed-living facility, had given its 50 senior
residents a wonderful Jewish home. The
families appreciated the concern from
administrators and staff about where
Morn, Dad and Aunt Sadie would live
next. .
A group of 14 residents moved this
summer to Farmington Hills Inn. And
with their presence, the licensed home
for aged is quickly developing a Jewish
flavor.
"When new residents move in, it's a
huge adjustment on the part of the resi-
dent, their family and staff," said Julie
Norman, administrator of the facility at
30350 West 12 Mile Road in
Farmington Hills. "We're doing our best
to accommodate them."
The 85-resident Farmington Hills Inn
has been owned and operated by Jewish
partners Don Dishell of Franklin and

Carl Rube of West Bloomfield since
1980, yet had attracted few Jewish resi-
dents until now With the large influx of
former Elan Villagers, the owners and
their staff want the new residents to feel
at home. That's why they've turned to
West Bloomfield-based Jewish Home
and Aging Services (JHAS) and its
Jewish Community Chaplaincy pro-
gram.
The purpose of the chaplaincy pro-
gram is to show Jewish older adults in
non-Jewish assisted-living facilities, nurs-
ing homes and retirement communities
that "they are still connected to the
Jewish community and we will be with
them," said chaplain Rabbi Dovid Poker.
Margot Parr is executive director of
JHAS and Carol Rosenberg is associate
director.
Realizing the stress that some of the
Jewish residents are experiencing in leav-
ing a familiar setting, Rabbi Poker said
the chaplaincy program is "being sensi-
tive, and seeking to give them a sense of
their roots, as they had at Elan Village.
We want them to know we realize what
they're going through and make the tran-
sition as easy as possible."
Available for counseling and friendly
visits, Rabbi Poker is told which resident
might benefit from special attention
whenever he visits the facility. He and his
