JFS Grateful to Temple Beth-El and Golden Manor Jewish Seniors Services

Jewish Family Service has maintained and expanded its Senior Case Management Services through the generous support both of the Kimmelman Charitable Fund of Temple Beth-El and Golden Manor Jewish Senior Services (GMJSS). Because of this assistance, JFS has been able to respond to the rapidly growing number of seniors who need and deserve community support. These seniors often face economic hardship, disability, or enormous stress related to mobility-impairment, home maintenance, transportation needs, medical emergencies, isolation, and mental illness. Even the most self -sufficient seniors may suddenly need JFS services.
