CAPABLE
Community Aging in Place
Advancing Better Living for Elders
CAPABLE (at JFS sponsored by Beth Sholom) is a free program to help older adults function safely in their homes. Teams comprised of an Occupational Therapist, a Registered Nurse, and a Handy Worker help individuals identify their own goals which can allow them to remain in their homes for longer.
The CAPABLE team evaluates the home environment and works to improve medication management, problem solving ability, strength, balance, mobility, nutrition, and home safety while decreasing isolation, depression and fall risk. The services are offered in the home during 10 visits over 4 months.
JFS is proud to partner with Project Homes, Functional Home Transformations, and CAPABLE.
