"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?'
