Honor Thy Father and Mother…
Keeping the Promise
Capital & Endowment Campaign

Our parents and grandparents are living longer than ever before, thanks to the advances of medical science.  Fortunately, there are a wonderful range of options for elder care that affords them maximum independence and comfort – up to a point.  Many of us have however reached the point with a loved one where we must look for long-term, skilled care.  When we do, we want a place that will treat our loved one like family.

For more than 100 years, Daughters of Israel Plafsky Family Campus has been that place.  Daughters has upheld the promise imbedded in our Jewish faith and heritage to honor our parents.  Daughters is widely recognized for its outstanding services to the elderly, provided in a Jewish environment rich with care and compassion.

Over the years, Daughters has prided itself in meeting each challenge and change it has faced to assure that the elderly, who require continuous or specialized care, are provided with safe, comfortable and dignified living arrangements and the highest quality care and services, regardless of their social or economic status.

Today, we must ensure that Daughters’ entire facility continues to maintain these high standards our community expects. The increased age and longevity of the residents of Daughters necessitates that the Home’s environment is the most modern and technologically up-to-date.

It is for these reasons that Daughters embarked on a Capital and Endowment Campaign to raise the funds necessary to reconstruct and modernize the Slobodien and Women’s League Pavilions.  Both Pavilions were outdated, worn from years of heavy use and were ill suited to the accessibility needs of the residents, whom are now 75% wheelchair bound.  The renovation of the two pavilions will be completed in October 2009.  The residents living on these pavilions now have the same optimal quality of life and dignity as the residents in the rest of our building.

The significant changes as a result of the “Honor Thy Father and Mother…Keeping the Promise” Capital and Endowment Campaign are:

• 26 newly refurbished private resident rooms with modern décor and furnishings, enlarged living space, personal storage space, and private showers.

• 42 newly refurbished semi-private resident rooms with a new shared entry, private sleeping quarters, greater private personal living space and storage of personal belongings.
