LA Jewish Home: 

"The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, has been quite controversial especially when it comes to getting Americans registered online. But there have also been success stories. A Jewish organization in Los Angeles that serves seniors, has implemented an innovative program that meets new governmental regulations. At the Brandman Center, run by the Los Angeles Jewish Home, senior citizens are getting health care through the 'Program of the All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly.' It's called PACE for short."

Charles E. Smith Life Communities: 

A sweetheart of an event

 

At a "Sweetheart Social," seniors who call Charles E. Smith Life Communities home danced under The Fillmore Silver Spring's colorful lights to the live swing and jazz music of Night and Day. This is the third year that The Fillmore, a dynamic venue for music performances, invited campus residents to be their guests at this special event, and this February, families and medical students attending the Uniformed Services University at Walter Reed, Bethesda, added to the fun. 

 

The outing is one of hundreds of recreational and cultural events made possible by donors and support through Montgomery County grants that ensure a rich and engaging life for the 1,000 seniors living at the Hebrew Home's Smith-Kogod and Wasserman Residences, Landow House, Ring House, Revitz House, and Cohen-Rosen House.

Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly:

50th Anniversary

 

With their exceptional gift of $50,000, Brookline Bank is the first contributor to the "50 x 50" campaign to secure 50 gifts for our 50th anniversary year in 2015. Over the next 18 months, we will engage our supporters and community as we honor the past and look forward to the future. The Bank's generosity helps us raise funds for the vital programs and services that enable residents to age in community rather than in isolation.
