JFGH IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION!
It has helped me growth as an individual with a disability!
I love the staff and my fellow housemates!
JFGH has also helped my friends succeed with their goals!
I am very grateful to them!
JFGH is NOT a good organization to work for. They do NOT care about the employees. The company allows for unlawful activities to occur. Management gives favors to employees that they're having sexual contact with. In addition they cover up bad things that go on in the residential homes. Do NOT trust this company to do right by your loved ones!!
I have been involved with JFGH for 24 years. I began as a volunteer visiting the residents at their home and teaching dental health education. I can not begin to tell you how rewarding this was. To watch how independent and proud the residents were of their accomplishments and of their home was truly amazing. I was hooked! I have been on the Executive Board for years. I am proud of JFGH and what they do for our community!
My daughter has been a resident in a JFGH home for 16 years. Her development has been beyond our expectations. Her social skills improvement and emotional development has enabled her to maintain her job as a Food Aide with the Navy Dep't. JFGH has won numerous awards, including the prestigious top Charity Navigator Award for 8 straight years, a feat accomplished by only 42 non-profits nationwide. The direct care staff is well trained and management runs an efficient and effective organiztion.
For the past ten years, I have watched with awe the dedication and commitment of JFGH to the needs of the diabled community, and the deep appreciation felt by residents of the group living arrangements and their families. Every day, this organization provides essential and meaningful support to diabled adults and their families.
Ranked four stars by Charity Navigator for eight straight years (only 42 charities in the country hold that distinction), JFGH enables individuals with a variety of developmental disabilities and/or chronic mental disorders, principally developmental, to live more independent lives. Founded 26 years ago by a couple with developmentally disabled children, JFGH, is non-sectarian, and supports 180 individuals in over 65 sites in the Washington Metropolitan area including 23 group homes which are kosher. It runs a tight, but innovative and highly caring, ship and probably is the pre-eminent organization of its type in the country and certainly in the US Jewish. It has cared for my brother for 24 years and has brought him out of the closet to lead, with supervision, an independent life and to pursue daily work, use mass transit, etc.
JFGH is a wonderful organization serving the needs of developmentally-disabled adults. Our son lives in a JFGH group home. He has learned to live independently and has a job. The staff is warm and caring. JFGH is rated 4-stars by Charity Navigator. JFGH has become a model for group homes and transitional job training. The homes observe Jewish dietary laws.
