Since 1907, when the first Jewish Old Folks Home opened, Detroit’s Jewish community has provided care and compassion for its elderly members. The Home soon expanded and in 1925 a group of women recognized the need to provide entertainment, enrichment, and social opportunities to its residents. They founded the Women’s Auxiliary of the Jewish Old Folks Home, which evolved into FRIENDS of Jewish Senior Life (JSL).
This year, we celebrate 100 Years of Volunteers at Jewish Senior Life. We will commemorate the auxiliary and honor our current volunteers with a year-long celebration including:

This year, we celebrate 100 Years of Volunteers at Jewish Senior Life. We will commemorate the auxiliary and honor our current volunteers with a year-long celebration including regular events in their honor.
Since 1993, this cherished tradition brings together friends, family, and community to honor individuals whose dedication to repairing the world has shaped lives.
Jewish Senior Life - originally founded as “Jewish Old Folks Home” - remains true to its dedication to older adults, and the dignity of those whom it serves.
Jewish Senior Life provides equal housing opportunities to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability (handicap), familial status, without regard to actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status, source of income, or national origin.
