Tricia Jacobs, Community Liaison JFS at Home
Jacobs Will Provide Education on Private Duty Homecare Services to Geriatric Care Professional
BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, January 26, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Boca Raton based JFS at Home, a non-profit licensed home health agency that is affiliated with Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (Rales JFS), announced today the appointment of Tricia Jacobs as the new Community Liaison. In her role, Jacobs is responsible for promoting JFS at Home services to a current and developing network of community professionals in the arena of Geriatric Care. She will educate professionals about private duty homecare and the unique qualities of JFS at Home.
JFS at Home is one of only three non-profit home health agencies in Palm Beach County. South Florida continues to see a caregiver shortage, and with many older people living in the area unable to afford care, agencies like JFS at Home are in high demand. The organization’s partnership with Rales JFS enables the agency to subsidize the cost of home care for clients and families who cannot afford services.
“Professionals in the arena of Geriatric Care often seek quality home care services for their residents, patients, or clients,” said Jacobs. “JFS at Home’s offering is second to none and I am very excited and honored to join the organization and to help spread the word about the unique qualities and programs we offer to seniors.”
Most recently, Jacobs held the position of Community Relations Manager at Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences, a continuing care community in Boca Raton. There, she assisted in admissions and was active in community outreach to health professional, physicians, hospitals and care managers within Palm Beach County. Jacobs has worked in the senior living industry for over 15 years.
JFS at Home focuses on non-medical, private duty needs, and over the past five years, the agency has helped clients transition from semi-independent to assisted living care, from memory care on to end of life. JFS at Home helps seniors age in place and offers different levels of support, often complementing skilled nursing and hospice care.
JFS at Home currently offers clients the following services:
• Personal Care: Baths, showers, dressing, grooming, oral hygiene, skin care, and toileting.
• Mobility: Range of motion exercises, ambulation, transfers, assistance with cane/walker use.
• Meal Preparation: Preparation of meals according to dietary needs and assistance with feeding.
