On January 30, 2024, we offered an out-of-date description of Jewish Family Services on page 14. We would like to issue the following correction:
Jewish Family Service
Jewish Family Service strengthens lives and enhances our diverse community by providing exceptional and transformational human services.
JFS is guided by Jewish values, we strive for a community where everyone lives with dignity, security, and hope.
JFS helps enrich the Cincinnati community every day by providing high-quality services to individuals and families who need them. Guided by our values of compassion, integrity, and excellence—we help people from all walks of life move through the challenges and complexities of modern life in a way that feels comfortable, safe, and familiar.
It is a nonprofit social service agency that serves all individuals without regard to religion, race, age, disability, sexual orientation, or economic status.
Growing older is just another part of the total life process. But the later years can become lonely and difficult for many older adults and a stressful time for their families. The Aging and Caregiver Services program at Jewish Family Services was created to help older adults maintain their independence and enhance their involvement with their family and their community.
Along with aging, they offer counseling services to youth, young adults, older adults and caregivers.
A year ago JFS opened an Adult Day Services program for people that are dealing with cognitive issues such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. It also gives caregivers more time to themselves while knowing their loved one is being cared for in an educational and safe environment.
Jewish Family Service also offers support through the Barbash Family Vital Support Center, the Heldman Family Food Pantry, emergency food assistance, homelessness support, case management, delivery of Passover food for those unable to afford to celebrate the holiday, and help with food stamps.
