continues. “
A consultation is 
helpful for difficult situations 
like, ‘How do we help some-
one stop driving?’ or if some-
one needs to move.
” 
JFS coaches caregivers on 
how to find a community 
that will meet their loved 
one’s needs, among other 
topics that some may not feel 
equipped to handle on their 
own.
For those without next steps 
lined up for caregiving, the 
Geriatric Care Management 
program also offers assess-
ments that help determine 
which path to take. “People 
may know their loved one is 
declining, but they don’t know 
what to do to bring some 
stability,
” Breuer said. “If that’s 
the case, someone from our 
team can do an assessment of 
that person and take a look at 
everything from their activ-
ities of daily living to what 
they’re able to do without 
assistance.
”
JFS can help make recom-

mendations for medication 
management, alleviating 
social isolation (especially 
throughout the pandemic), 
cognitive screening and other 
forms of support for loved 
ones in need of caregiving. 
They also offer a door-
through-door transportation 
service that helps take people 
to appointments, check them 
in and make sure they get 
safely to and from their loca-
tions. Kosher meal delivery 
services can also be arranged 
for individuals struggling to 
cook.

CAREGIVER HEALTH
Taking care of loved ones 
can take a significant toll 
on caregivers themselves. 
According to Caregiver.org, 
40-70% of family caregivers 
show clinical symptoms of 
depression. That’s why it’s 
essential for caregivers to also 
focus on their own physical 
and mental health to prevent 
burnout or other more seri-
ous complications. “People 
need to take care of their own 
health, so they are better able 
to provide care for people 
who are counting on them,” 
Breuer says.
Sleep, exercise and healthy 
eating all play an important 
role in overall health, some-
thing caregivers should aim 
to make a priority in life. 
Practicing calmness is also 
important, whether through 
meditation, journaling or sim-
