JFS Senior SolutionsKeeping Rose in Her Home—Safely and with Dignity
“Rose” is an 83-year-old widow living independently in her own home. She came to JFS six years ago after her husband passed away. Rose has no children or family living close by. Initially, JFS provided Rose with housekeeping through the homemaker program and transportation to and from medical appointments. Rose no longer drives and because of her increasing health issues, cannot perform everyday housekeeping chores. As Rose has become more frail and homebound, JFS began providing her with Kosher Meals on Wheels as well as a weekly volunteer who provides friendly visiting and companionship.
The care manager now helps Rose with her monthly bills, coordinates her medical appointments, and oversees all of the other services that JFS provides. The care manager has also brought in yard cleaning and home maintenance services provide by JFS’s community partners. When Rose needed help with selecting a Medicare drug program the care manager was able to find her an affordable plan that fit her prescription needs.
