Are you familiar with JEVS Care at Home (JCAH)? You may have seen our blogs or social posts, but we’re taking this opportunity to share about who we are and what we do.
JEVS Care at Home provides non-medical home care to seniors and adults with disabilities. ”Non-medical” care includes help with personal care (grooming, bathing, dressing), and “activities of daily living,” including light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, and other essential tasks. JCAH caregivers also provide help with transitions from hospital to home, companionship, and other services.
As an affiliate program of JHS, we are aligned with the organization’s mission to work with individuals to create paths to independence and economic security.
The JCAH Difference
In addition to our not-for-profit and award-winning status, we differ from other home care providers in several important ways.
JCAH works with a broad range of clients.
While some providers only work with clients who pay for services out of their own resources, we work with the broadest possible range of clients, including eligible Veterans and qualified Medicaid recipients, who can receive services at no cost.
We support clients through the application process.
Our Community Engagement Specialists, Mason Wallack, Rachel Fein, and Tim Lawson, are experts in helping clients with low income or selected disabilities navigate Pennsylvania’s application process for “waiver program” services.
We have fun!
Mason, Rachel, and Tim also support the community by partnering with senior centers and other community organizations to provide educational and entertainment programming. For instance, Mason, who’s also a talented musician, hosted a “Piano and Pizza” event at Scottish Rite Senior Apartments in Center City, and Tim gave a talk on “Black Leaders in Health Care” at The Firehouse Senior Center in West Philadelphia.
