Providing the champions of United Hebrew residents a place to share, learn, and advocate.

 

You will notice that the name of this website is BecauseWeCare.LIVE--not .com, or .org--because helping our seniors LIVE , and live well, is the primary reason for our Council and this site. We all met through one common bond--the people we love are residents of United Hebrew Geriatric Center, and each one of us decided to make his and her voice heard as a member of the United Hebrew Family Council.

 

Through our own experiences with our aging relatives and/or friends, we all arrived at the same conclusion: our loved ones need loving advocates to help assure that they LIVE as vibrantly and happily as possible. 

​

Even in the very best of eldercare facilities, the residents need someone to support them and act on their behalf--especially when their medical state does not allow them to speak for themselves.  Sometimes, even if they can speak out on their own, they are hesitant to do so, fearing reprisal or ostracism, if they do.  Factual or not, this is a common perception shared by many seniors.

 

This is why they need each and every one of us to speak and act with their best interests at heart--BECAUSE WE CARE!
