THEJOYJ INITIATIVE ? HELPING THE ELDERLY

After a successful surgery and a rehabilitation period in a center on the west side, Josephine will return to her apartment on October 30. She is excited to go home! Thanks to the JOYJ volunteers who have visited her almost daily during rehabilitation. The volunteers have also prepared the apartment for her return with the new bed and furniture. Special thanks to Assembly member Linda B. Rosenthal and her office for the new bed donation and for directly handling all the applications to Medicare and other agencies on behalf of Josephine. Her office has secured all the services that Josephine is entitled to because of her age and economic condition. This has been a heartfelt team effort!!
