If you are a senior living alone without family support or the parents of a mentally ill adult child, the future can be a little uncertain. Dealing with illness, handling important financial and life-altering decisions are major concerns. Having – and managing- the funds to ensure quality of life is the bottom line.

The Special Care Trust helps address those concerns before they arise and makes sure the funds are there should you become incapacitated or can no longer care directly for your loved one.

For a senior living alone, issues such as appointing a mandatory, homecare, medical decisions and religious concerns are addressed. The JCF will work with Cummings Jewish Centre for Seniors, who will oversee your care and well-being while the Foundation manages the financial assets.

For parents of an adult child living with mental illness, the JCF will work with Jewish Family Services to see to your child’s care and financial management after your lifetime.
