Building bridges to support our Boulder clients 

Stuart Feinhor, MA, MAHL, MFA, Programs Coordinator, Care Manager

Every day, our JFS Boulder team helps individuals overcome difficult life challenges and reach their full potential by providing programs and services that keep them supported, connected, and engaged. 

Stuart Feinhor, MA, MAHL, MFA, Programs Coordinator, Care Manager, joined JFS Boulder in 2020 and focuses on providing care management services to older adults, co-facilitating the Caregivers Support Group, developing additional programs for older adults, and providing emergency financial support for individuals facing housing instability or are unable to pay for basic needs. He also works closely with staff and volunteers to match Friendly Visitors with his older adult Care Management clients. 

In his role, Stuart fills an important gap in providing services to help our clients, like Mary Beth, become self-sufficient and thrive. 

A New Yorker by birth, Mary Beth lived in Boulder for many years before a friend referred her to JFS. She was struggling, including recovering in a rehabilitation facility after a fall and needed help. Stuart worked with Mary Beth and ensured she received financial assistance and mental health support. In addition, when Mary Beth was new to Boulder and didn’t know many people, she participated in our Friendly Visitor program, which promotes connection, engagement, and fun between older adults and volunteers. “You guys did a lot for me,” shared Mary Beth. “JFS has wonderful people who’ve been extremely kind to me and [who’ve] stepped in when I needed support, both financially and personally.” 

Thank you, Stuart and our entire JFS Boulder team, for your commitment to helping those in need throughout our community. Also, many thanks to Mary Beth for sharing her story.
