Jewish Senior Services (Fairfield, CT):
New Nursing Home Designed to Make Seniors Feel at Home

In Bunny Kasper's travels across the U.S. looking for ways to improve the lives of people in the care of Jewish Senior Services, there was one nursing home model that stood out from the rest -- the "household model." On Thursday, Kasper was one of more than 50 people to watch the last steel beam lifted into place on the frame of JSS's new $75 million campus on Park Avenue -- the first "household model" facility in the state. The white beam was adorned with colorful signatures of hundreds of residents, JSS staff, construction crew members and city officials.
