Thrive
Connection, Support and Resources for Older Adults and their Families.
If you are an older adult or a caretaker of an older adult – we are here for you.
To thrive, we all need community and connection, housing that meets our needs, healthy food and nutrition, transportation, and healthcare. Speak with JFS social workers to explore how we can assist you to meet these needs.

Kavod: Services for Holocaust Survivors
Thrive works with Holocaust survivors and their families to obtain needed services and supports, as well as ongoing programming and connection to our staff to address their unique circumstances.
There are so many choices to make, but not every option fits every older adult. Our social workers can offer you individualized recommendations and assistance so you can live your best life and thrive!
