Jewish Family Service is a non-profit social service agency that specializes in assisting seniors and their families with counseling and case management.

Jewish Family Services is a non-profit agency designed to assist and support the local senior community by helping seniors and their families. Established in 1914, Jewish Family Services aids seniors in improving the quality of their lives by helping them to stay healthy, happy, and safe. Many seniors struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, and grief, along with the stress of caring for the

The agency also helps seniors stay connected to their friends, family, and community. Other services that are provided by the agency include family interventions, medicine regulation programs, and community education programs on topics such as Medicare and home downsizing.

August Topic:
"The Stimulated Mind" by Dr. Tommy Wood

As we age, our brain becomes the most critical part of our body. But why do we often overlook its health compared to our heart and joints? With increasing struggles to focus and a rise in dementia and Alzheimer’s cases, it’s time to prioritize brain wellness.

Dr. Wood’s insights reveal that a brain that continues to flourish with age is not solely dependent on costly medications or advanced breakthroughs. Instead, it’s shaped by manageable lifestyle choices—like diet, sleep, physical activity, social connections, and stress management. His innovative “3-S” model emphasizes that Stimulation, Sleep, and Nutrient Supply are essential for a thriving brain throughout life.
