this topic for an educational program for
sisterhood and the community:' said Raya
Goldenberg of Royal Oak. "We were aware of the
unmet needs of older adults from our profes-
sional work as social workers and we wanted
others to know what our Jewish community
was doing to meet the challenge."
Peter Ostrow is program director at the
Dorothy & Peter Brown Jewish Community
Adult Day Program in West Bloomfield and
Southfield, which offers services integrated
with Jewish Senior Life and JVS.
"We make it easier for families to help people
who live with them and have dementia:' says
Ostrow. "We not only give family members a
break in their caregiving, but we provide clients
with activities that keep people in socialized
settings and stimulate thinking."
"The Club in the Plaza offers everything from
miniature golf to haircuts. For those who have
beginning memory problems, we teach memo-
ry techniques at the Memory Club, which meets
twice a week at JVS in Southfield. And for those
seniors who want to stay active and give back to
the community, we match them with volunteer
jobs in nonprofit organizations."
Extending Services
The last panel member to speak was Yuliya
Gaydayenko, director of Older Adult Services
for Jewish Family Service.
"My role is to help older adults and their
families get access to our community based
services so that they can age in place with a
quality life says Gaydayenko.
"I often find myself partnering with the cli-
ent and working with the client's family to work
out a care plan for the client. It is a holistic
approach that includes working with Jewish
services as well as with municipal services and
sometimes United Way. For instance, we provide
escorted transportation, which often amounts
to over 100 rides a day, primarily to medical
appointments. We also work with families who
have adult children that live out of state."
Candy Cuttner, a speech and language
pathologist based in Southfield, attended the
panel discussion with her mother, Inez Cane
of Bloomfield Hills. "I found the speakers very
informative and knowledgeable about the
topic," Cuttner said. "This is valuable informa-
tion about our aging population. I certainly will
do my share to let other people know about the
services."
"As the son of elderly parents, I felt it was
important for me to find out more about the
wide range of services that are available in our
community," said Chuck Seigerman, neuropsy-
chologist in West Bloomfield. "It is comforting
to know there is help available for all of us."
"No one stands alone in the Detroit Jewish
community," said Helene Cherrin of West
Bloomfield. "Everyone should be aware of what
our community offers and how fortunate we are
to have these services available?' E
