Daughters Of Sarah Jewish Foundation Inc

The organization's goal - to support, enrich and enhance programs and services for the well and infirm elderly - is accomplished by issuing grants to the daughters of sarah housing company to provide housing scholarships that subvent the cost of residency at the daughters of sarah housing company's assisted living residence. This grant enables needy individuals, unable to pay the full cost of care, to receive the level of personal care assistance they need to carry out their regular activities of daily living and to remain in a least restrictive environment for their personal care needs, where they can receive kosher meals in accordance with jewish dietary laws and programming, entertainment and activities in keeping with their cognitive skill level and based on jewish traditions. Grants have also established a lifelong educational learning program, bringing rabbis and college professors to present courses on jewish cultural, religious, historical and political topics.

The organization has provided funding to support the enhancement of resident focused services at the daughters of sarah nursing & rehabilitation center, such as: (a) grants for a tuition reimbursement program to reimburse tuition costs expended by staff seeking to improve their skills and knowledge for the betterment of resident care by procuring additional professional degrees (lpn, rn, msw, etc); (b) funding to enhance facility-wide activities, and to provide life-long educational learning programs for residents; (c) funding for a program to help alleviate staffing shortages by hiring potential nursing aide trainees, providing these economically disadvantaged persons lacking healthcare skills with gainful employment and on-site training to qualify for nursing aide certification at no cost to the employee, along with continued employment once certified. This program enables them to meet their daily living expenses while studying, improve their marketable skills, and ensure the prospect of continued employment.
