June 29, 2003: JUJ and the Community Task Force for the Needs of the Jewish Elderly held a Town Hall meeting attended by over 150 people. The Findings and Recommendations about the Jewish Center for the Aged were presented and people attending expressed their concerns and ideas for solutions. These concerns will be attached to the full report and sent to JCA Board members and Task Force members. The report strongly recommended that all aspects of the JCA maintain a high quality of care and a strong Jewish character in a facility that is affordable for the whole community. In June 2003, JUJ received an award for Democracy In Action from the American Jewish Congress for our work in challenging the JCA's proposed cuts in Medicaid beds and to encourage the JCA to recommit to its mission to serve all Jews who needs long-term care, regardless of their ability to pay.
