With JFS Care’s Independence Program, David now sees a caregiver 16 hours a month, the staff at JFS Care call him 4 times a week to check in, JFS Care arranges LYFT rides to get him to his activities, he has a Phillips Lifeline at home, and his JFS Care Case Manager comes to visit him each month.
Rita, a self taught gourmet chef, loves to cook for her family when they come visit, and she even hosts dinner for 10 every month. Rita can’t see as well as she used to, but with the help of JFS Care’s in-home services, she can still create wonderful meals for her loved ones.
