Jewish Home recently launched The Clare & Jerry Rotenberg Center for Excellence in Dementia Care at an event featuring a panel discussion with memory care experts and a keynote by actress, director and Alzheimer’s advocate Ashley Williams — who shared her journey with Alzheimer’s in her family.

The Dementia Center will improve quality of life for those living with dementia and memory loss and empower and support their families and caregivers through innovative programs, education and training, and resource navigation. Community partners, such as Alzheimer's Association and Lifespan, participated in a resource fair during the event. The formation of the Dementia Center is driven by a growing need for compassionate care and comprehensive resources. Learn more at https://jewishhomeroc.org/dementia-center-of-excellence/

The Summit Knitters are once again warming more than just hearts this season.

The busy friends made many donations this year — to Baden Street Settlement, Bethany House and Jewish Family Services.

Thank you, Camy and Phyllis, for leading this meaningful community project (pictured here making donations to Jewish Family Services and Baden Street).
