A call to Elderlink can help you navigate through many various situations you may face when trying to understand the options available to care for a loved one who is aging.

• My husband’s Alzheimer’s disease is becoming too much for me to manage on my own. Where can I get help?
• I am concerned about my mother continuing to live independently in her home. What housing options can you suggest?
• I can’t drive anymore. How do I find transportation to medical appointments?
• My sister is hospitalized and I am her only family member … but I have medical problems myself, can’t visit and live in Canada 3,500 miles away. Does the Jewish community have anyone to visit her?
• My father recently moved from Brooklyn into my home in West Orange. Is there anyplace he can attend to make new social connections and play cards with other Jewish senior adults?

Elderlink can offer guidance on these and other questions you have. You can contact Elderlink by calling (973) 765-9050 or sending an e-mail to elderlink@jfsmetrowest.org
