JFS Allies in Aging Expert Malka Young Provides Thoughtful and Knowledgeable Guidance to All Clients

“Malka was the best. I can’t say enough about her professionalism, knowledge and the compassion she had for my client. My client had no family in the States, so even though I have known him for over 40 years, I’m not family. At times I was uncertain what to do. Malka did and that I will always appreciate.”

JFS Elder Care Managers Support Families Through Difficult Transitions

December 11, 2018 Amanda Coughlin Care Management, Testimonials elders , GCM testimonial , geriatric care management , life planning

TESTIMONIAL

[JFS Allies in Aging Geriatric Care managers] “stuck with me from the beginning to the very end when my relative was placed in a wonderful memory care unit. Malka went far beyond the call of duty. She always knew what services were available and if she didn’t know, she found out, fast! She even found pet sitting services for us.

Malka really knew the ropes and provided me with helpful guidance through the whole process. My relative said she really liked my “nice friend” who used to come and visit her. Thank you!”

Allies in Aging Geriatric Care Managers Provide Family with Expert Guidance to Support Mom

TESTIMONIAL

“The best decision I made in the care of my mom was hiring JFS of Metrowest. Malka and Karen walked me through the situations where it was needed, and took care of so many issues that I didn’t have to be, or was unable to be involved in.

I can’t imagine how Anne and her family would have made it through this without the guidance, love and compassion of these two ladies.”

JFS Healthy Aging Helps Frail NORC Residents Improve Memory and Mobility

July 26, 2018 Amanda Coughlin Healthy Aging, Testimonials

TESTIMONIAL

“JFS has been wonderful to us at Hastings House. They brought Joni, our exercise instructor, to Hastings House to teach weekly chair aerobics classes. If JFS did not send Joni, I would have to go to the Wellness Center for exercise which means I would have to pay and wait for The Ride each way. My doctors are so thrilled that I am getting weekly exercise at my apartment building between chair aerobics and bowling. The lunch group and trivia have been very helpful too. It is an excellent way to use my mind, especially after my fall this winter I feel that I have lost some of my memory and the trivia really makes me think. The trivia group helps me learn too. JFS works so hard to get outside speakers and entertainment to come to us. I am so thankful that I don’t have to leave the building for activities and that JFS brings them to us!”

Allies in Aging Geriatric Care Managers provide Expert Guidance when Mom Needs to Move

July 25, 2018 Amanda Coughlin Care Management, Testimonials GCM testimonial , geriatric care management , housing

TESTIMONIAL

“Malka was a great help; very knowledgeable, insightful, sensitive and caring, regarding my mother’s need to move from the facility she was living in, to another Assisted Living facility. She worked with me and was very much my advocate, even though she has ongoing relationships with all these facilities, and doesn’t want to ruffle them either. I was quite impressed with how quickly she was able to get her hands around our total situation. That included my mother’s health, the geography, and the financial limitations of the situation.

I have and will continue to mention her name to anyone who I think could benefit from her services. She’s a rock star in her field!”

TESTIMONIAL

“We received help finding assisted living for an 80-year-old couple whose personalities were challenging even before they began to suffer from cognitive loss. The understanding and help we got figuring out where they should be placed was the key to getting them into an appropriate situation. I can’t imagine how we would have done that by ourselves.”
