Our ServicesJFGH offers
several options for receiving residential care and support
services. The focus of all our programs is to enhance the
independence, dignity, choice, and community inclusion of
the individuals we serve. JFGH is distinguished in part by
the quantity and quality of the enriching cultural,
recreational activities offered to residents, as well as by
an emphasis on providing opportunities to observe one’s
faith.
Each resident participates in meaningful day activities such
as jobs, supported employment, day habilitation programs,
and volunteer work. All JFGH residential counselors receive
training in First Aid, CPR, and medication administration,
introduction to developmental disabilities, seizure
training, behavior management, Judaism, and Kashrut (Jewish
dietary laws).
Families also play an integral role in the lives of
individuals receiving JFGH services. JFGH offers activities,
such as the Sibling Network, which are specifically designed
for family members and residents to spend enjoyable time
together.
In 2008, JFGH will launch the Meaningful Opportunities for
Successful Transitions (MOST) program, a unique, one-year
program of services and support for young adults with
disabilities who need, but have not found, a placement in an
appropriate day program after aging out of educational
entitlements.Our
