JFCS’ Senior Horizons Program staff has met with hundreds of families who are all grappling with issues related to an elderly loved one’s need for additional care. The callers usually don’t know where to begin and are looking to JFCS for guidance. We periodically offer a workshop titled: Options for Long Term Care, at several convenient locations in the Philadelphia area. The workshop covers many of the most common challenges families face, while our direct client services are tailored to the particular situation.

For more information, The National Care Planning Council provides an introduction to eldercare issues and very useful links to community and professional services http://www.longtermcarelink.net/. 

Share with us some of your common questions.
