Getting Started
Help is Just a Phone Call Away
JFS at Home is dedicated to helping seniors and those with chronic illnesses to live independently in a safe, comfortable, and supportive setting. Independence, however, doesn’t mean having to do it all alone. Whether you need a little or a lot, JFS at Home can help you or your loved one.
In-Home Assessment
You are not like anyone else. Neither are your needs for care. That’s why JFS at Home starts the care coordination process with a personalized intake to ensure we understand all that is needed. When you call, our intake specialist will listen to your concerns and work with you, your loved one, family and medical providers to evaluate available options. At your convenience, a JFS at Home specialist will come to your home to review those aspects of your residence and lifestyle that impact your ability to live a safe, healthy, independent life.
Together we will examine:
• Physical and emotional health
• Social activities
• Home safety and maintenance needs
• Needs for transportation, housekeeping, meal preparation, running errands,
bathing, dressing, etc.
• Financial resources and need for assistance managing finances
Plan of Care
Once the in-home assessment is completed, JFS at Home will prepare a personalized plan of care. This plan, which we will review together:
• Outlines specific areas of concern we have identified
• Recommends actions that will address the plan of care
• Establishes a timeframe for implementing the plan of care
