A family approach to healthy aging
Vibrance. Independence. Vitality. These are the precious qualities we all hope will nourish and sustain us as we age. They are also the underpinnings of AVIV Older Adult Services - a division of Jewish Family & Career Services dedicated to serving older adults and their families.
AVIV stands for Aging with Vibrance, Independence and Vitality. AVIV fulfills JF&CS' mission to deliver aging services holistically - that is, caring not just for the older adult but considering the needs of the whole family with a comprehensive wellness plan.
It takes a plan: Geriatric Care Management
The most comprehensive approach to AVIV services is through Geriatric Care Management. AVIV offers Care Managers who are trained to conduct in-home assessments. They look at the older adult’s physical, functional, emotional and even financial situation.
Step by step, the Care Manager leads the client and caregivers through:
- In-home Assessment, with an R.N. as needed
- Development of a Wellness Plan
- Service Coordination
- Ongoing Monitoring
- Financial Planner and Legal Advisor Available
