Holocaust Survivors

We are dedicated to providing assistance to Holocaust survivors throughout Orange County. All services offered are sensitively delivered by professionals who have been trained in using a Person Centered, Trauma Informed method.

We offer supports through the following programs:

Case Management

JFS Orange offers case management as an opportunity to enable more support systems for older adults in their homes. Click here for more information about available services. This may include coordinating access to healthcare, mental health services, financial assistance, and social services. Understanding the historical trauma and its long-term effects is crucial in delivering sensitive care. Case managers work to create a supportive environment that honors the survivors’ experiences while helping them navigate resources and ensure their well-being in their later years.

In-Home Services

Jewish Family Service of Orange County, in collaboration with Rockland Jewish Family Service, coordinates and funds in-home aide and cleaning services for Holocaust Survivors. By facilitating these services, our case managers help survivors maintain a comfortable and clean living space, allowing them to live with greater ease and independence in their own homes.

Funding for Medical Services

A grant from RJFS allows for the cost of medical transportation, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and durable medical equipment to be partially covered. By alleviating the financial burden associated with these expenses, the grant plays a vital role in improving their quality of life.

Supplemental Needs

When a survivor is unable to afford necessities of daily living, we are here to provide support. JFS Orange will assist in providing vitamins and supplements, cleaning supplies, incontinence supplies, and financial assistance to offset the costs of groceries.

We are grateful for the support that we receive from our funders for the Holocaust Survivor Program:

Rockland Jewish Family Service and the Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County
