Mission
Statement

They used to call it the "old folks home" - a place where elderly Jews lived out their final years.
Today, "older folks" are a whole lot different. And so is the Jewish Home & Aging Services, a mainstay of the Metropolitan Detroit Jewish Community since 1907.
Jewish Home & Aging Services is more than a home. Besides operating the Fleischman Residence/Blumberg - a licensed Home for Aged located on the Eugene and Marcia Applebaum Jewish Community Campus - Jewish Home & Aging Services provides a wide range of outreach programs and aging services that bring vital supports and services to several thousand older adults.

nstitutional housing is no longer the single answer. Today, there are options such as support services that provide assistance with living. Day care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, respite care for older adults and guests, chaplaincy services for residents of health care facilities and guardianship for those with no family to see to their financial and personal well-being are just a few of the services and programs offered by the Jewish Home & Aging Services.
Special events, volunteers, holiday celebrations, and community outreach enrich the cultural, spiritual, and educational environment.
Working closely with other Federation agencies through the Commission on Jewish Eldercare Services (COJES), Jewish Home & Aging Services relies on its professional staff and hundreds of volunteers to improve the lives of our community's older adults.
The agency's commitment is supported by Federation's Annual Campaign, along with other funding sources such as the Irving A. Rubin Jewish Community Trust for the Elderly and the Jewish Fund, with many other individuals who provide funding to enhance and enrich the lives of our older adults.
It's not easy, growing old, but it's a whole lot easier when a community cares.
