Star Icon Program of- Jewish Federation of Cleveland
The Community Options program under the auspices of the Jewish Federation provides the necessary program supports and services for older adults to continue to live independently in two apartment buildings in Cleveland.
Ellen Miller, Senior Director, Community Services
The Community Options program is geared towards seniors living in the community in “NORCs”, a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community, where there is a concentration of seniors that happen to be in a particular apartment building or neighborhood.
The program is a part of a national demonstration project in conjunction with the United Jewish Communities’ Washington Action office. Many communities have similar NORC programs.
