I truly cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for your compassion, and for JFS at Home. Our Companion, who has been coming to spend time with Mom, is terrific. Most important, Mom likes her a lot. And for us, she’s attentive to details, communicative, and generally so very willing to be helpful. She, the schedulers, the whole organization — you’re the difference between me feeling anxious/panicked and feeling concerned but confident that my mom is comfortable, safe and secure at home. It’s a tremendous thing and, once again, I thank you so much for helping to make it happen for us.

I want to tell you that my home health aide, Marie Jerome, is a gift from God. In this stressful time it is so wonderful to have kind, compassionate, fabulous individuals like Marie…thank you again.

One of the unique aspects of JFS at Home is its affiliation with JFS. We like the synergy and collaboration between the two agencies with the end goal of keeping seniors at home aging in place safely. We know how challenging it can be to care for a loved one and it's comforting to know JFS at Home is here, ready and able to help.

We contacted JFS at Home when my 92-year-old mother-in-law, Alice, moved into Sinai Residences a few years ago. JFS at Home provided daily aides for Alice for about 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, which allowed her to live independently in her own apartment, maintaining her sense of dignity and independence. And when Alice needed temporary 24-hour assistance, like when she came out of the hospital after surgery, JFS at Home provided that assistance as well. JFS at Home provided quality aides that varied in skill levels, contingent on my Alice’s needs, and relieved us of the obligation to arrange schedules and coverage, and gave us the peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for in good hands and not alone. We sincerely appreciated the availability and assistance of this service and support its existence to help us and other people in our community at a more reasonable cost than other private nursing and companion service companies.

Steve and I have lived in the community a long time and I was on the Board of JFS when the concept of creating JFS at Home was brought forward and ultimately approved. It’s gratifying to know that a home care agency is in our community and has such as strong alliance with JFS. JFS at Home complements services for seniors that JFS already provides and does so with the utmost compassion for all its clients.
