Residence: Feldman House, Leonard Florence Center
Favorite Activities/Hobbies: "I love teaching others basic knitting. I also love to read, watch game shows like Jeopardy, and do crossword puzzles."
What do you love most about living at the Center? ""Prior to coming here, I was in two other places for rehab. I was treated very badly and unhappy. My son came up from New Orleans and discovered this place for me. Everything here is very pleasant and I'm thrilled to be here. I'm very well taken care of and can't give anything but praise. I also enjoy being able to teach basic knitting skills to anyone interested- residents, guests and even staff!"

I believe in the work that the Foundation does because it believes in creating a better system, better facility, better program for the future. That matters to me.
I knew my mother would be well-taken care of at any facility that was under the Foundation, because of the reputation. And I was right.
This organization doesn’t treat my dad like a patient, they treat him like a person. He is given the best care possible, and it’s because they believe in treating the whole person, not just the illness.
I began volunteering at Foundation’s Chelsea Jewish Nursing Home and realized what a special place this was. Residents are happy, and the staff care. I enjoyed being here, too.
