“We are honored to be a recipient of the MassMutual Foundation grant as part of the foundation’s national Community Service Award (CSA) program.

“I am very pleased that my dedication to Jewish Family Home Care has been recognized by the MassMutual Foundation,” said Eppy.“This grant will provide much needed funding to continue supporting our community through tailor-made home health care plans for Florida seniors. We’ve raised $30 million over the last few years, focusing particularly on Holocaust survivors, but always with a long-term vision to support future generations. This generous $10,000 grant, which is earmarked specifically for caregiver training, underscores our commitment to continuously improving our Home Care Services. It is a testament to our belief that providing the best care for our seniors now and for future generations is about more than funds; it’s about ensuring our caregivers are equipped with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional service.
