We Help Those in Our Care Observe Jewish Holidays
David York Agency is well acquainted with the special requirements of kosher senior care. We keep a Jewish calendar along with the secular calendar and give notice to all aides when holidays occur during their shifts. If applicable, the home health aide can accompany the client to the synagogue. We also brief the aide on the special requirements of the day.
We are committed to providing the highest quality personalized care for the Jewish community. Our skilled and caring home health aides are dedicated to thoughtfully and empathetically assisting you or your older loved one in their home.
Jewish Senior Care and Meal Preparation
Good nutrition is critically important to all older adults. A healthy, balanced diet can prevent or slow many of the chronic conditions that are common as people age. This can be challenging for senior citizens who are no longer able to cook meals for themselves at home.
We are sensitive to the unique needs of those who practice a strict kosher diet. Typically, they are accustomed to running their own kitchens under strict laws and preparing their own meals. We understand these people may be particularly reluctant to let home health aides assist them with meal preparation.
Before assigning a home health aide to a kosher home, our home health aides are trained in the special requirements of Jewish home care services, including kosher cooking and meal preparation.
Every member of our executive staff is fully aware of the rules and requirements unique to observing a kosher diet. We impress upon our aides the importance of maintaining the separation between meat and dairy in a kosher kitchen. We also emphasize the importance of careful communication with us, or the client should a question arise.
