“THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME”
The Jewish Home Family (JHF) recognizes that a majority of seniors prefer to remain at home whenever possible. For this reason, JHF recently unveiled a new program: the Jewish Home at Home (JH@H). Its mission is to provide the professional expertise and services necessary to enable seniors to continue to live in their own homes in the community and to provide support for their families. In addition to a full geriatric assessment, JH@H offers services in the areas of home health aide and companion, nursing care, personal emergency alert system (PERS), medication administration, telehealth monitoring, home modification, linkage to the Gallen Adult Day Health Care program, transportation to doctor’s appointments, counseling and psychotherapy services as well as kosher meals. Volunteer services will also be incorporated as part of the program. For further information, please call Susan Lilly at 201-750-4247 or go to our website www.jewishhomeathome.org
