In 2018, Jewish Care celebrated its 170th anniversary and continues to touch more than 6,000 lives each year, helping individuals and families in the Victorian Jewish community receive the support they need to meet their challenges. We deliver high-quality residential aged care and in-home services to elders and people with a disability – underpinned by Jewish values. Community support services include: - a dedicated COVID-19 helpline - financial assistance - youth mentoring - disability services - mental health - family violence and parenting support programs - housing support - access to social workers - an employment service and - holocaust survivor support programs.
