Caregiver Support

Taking care of individuals with dementia and other chronic conditions can be challenging. Rales JFS offers caregiver education, support and well-deserved respite to help sustain them. Educational topics include home safety, community resources, and strategies in dealing with difficult emotions. Support sessions are currently being offered online four times per week. Our program is free of charge thanks to program funding from the Area Agency on Aging the Florida Department of Elder Affairs.

Holocaust Survivor Assistance

Social services for Jewish Nazi victims have been supported by a grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

The Holocaust Survivor Assistance Program helps provide for the needs of those who survived the brutality and persecution carried out by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War 2.

The program provides personalized case management and service coordination for vital services necessary to maintain maximum independence in a safe home environment. JFS has also assists the Survivors in our community with Holocaust reparations and financial assistance.

Emergency financial assistance funding is provided by KAVOD SHEF in partnership with Seed the Dream Foundation and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Holocaust Survivor Emergency Assistance Fund.

Supplemental Services

As seniors grow older, their day-to-day needs increase. Chores that used to be simple for them to perform can often be quite challenging. Rales JFS, and its dedicated team of volunteers, are committed to getting seniors the help they need to remain at home safely and independently.

June 1st marks the start of Hurricane Season and JFS will be opening up their storm registration for older adults living in the community who are not currently agency clients. JFS encourages older adults who live alone and have no family nearby register with the agency so that we can check in on them before and after a major weather event and connecting them with services as needed. This program is designed for seniors who DO NOT currently receive services from JFS, as JFS clients are already part of our storm response. If you would like for JFS to give you a courtesy call to check in on you before and after a storm, please fill out and submit this form.
