When Rosa (name changed) first connected with JFCS East Bay’s Adult Services team, she was living alone, recently widowed, and struggling to manage a new disability diagnosis. The loss of her spouse left her overwhelmed and isolated.
With the support of a case manager, Rosa was able to apply for In-Home Supportive Services, gain access to a medical provider who understood her needs, and received home-delivered meals.
Now, Rosa says she feels like she’s “part of something again.” She attends weekly wellness workshops, has reconnected with neighbors, and knows who to call when she needs help. Her journey is one of many we witness every day, reminders that with the right support, people can regain stability and continue to lead full, meaningful lives.
