Sustaining Donor Program

The Annual Sustaining Donor Program raises funds to enrich the lives of The Jewish Home’s residents. During its 27-years of support, the Sustaining Donor Program and professionals of The Jewish Home have collaborated to create meaningful programming otherwise unavailable to our 360 residents. Previous contributions have enabled the Home to fund the development of an award-winning Muscle Strengthening Program, redesign the Home’s Work Activity Center, Dining Room, and Bennett Solaria, expand the Residents’ Computer Lab, and create a state-of-the-art Recreation and Activity Room. The community’s generosity and the imaginations of the Home’s dedicated professional staff enable these and other programs to be made available.

Program allocations for 2004 include installing a closed circuit television system, which will allow residents to remain in the comfort of their rooms while also participating in the many programs that take place throughout the facility. The funding of additional physical therapy equipment is also planned and the enhancement of the Home’s Dementia Program will help to ensure that therapeutic activities intended to promote well-being remain a primary focus. The Great Performances Concert Series will again be offered to the delight of residents and family members and the on-going support of our Residents’ Computer Lab will enable more residents to learn to navigate the Internet and correspond with loved ones near and far.
