Roberto Bosch first came to Jewish Home Lifecare for rehabilitation services to recover from his knee replacement surgery. While there, he met a few seniors who urged him to attend Jewish Home Lifecare’s Adult Day Care Program.
“I knew it would get me out of the house, and it was a big relief for my wife,” he laughs. “It gave me a reason to get up early in the morning again.”
Roberto is used to leading an active, busy life. He’s worn many hats: as Korean War soldier, mechanic, funeral director, city agency coordinator and Catholic Church Deacon. He and his wife have been married for 48 years. Their eight children, three of whom are adopted, live throughout the country, building their own lives.
He has been coming to Day Care three times a week for the past seven years. He leads a Bible study group every Wednesday and attends the Spanish group with other Hispanic seniors to discuss current events, share life experiences and each other’s company.
He says, “It was an absolute blessing that I discovered the Adult Day Center and I couldn’t be more thankful for finding a ‘second’ home.”
The benefits of Day Care haven’t just been social. Roberto finds that the anxiety and depression he had as a result of being a war veteran and an inactive retiree are now a thing of the past. He also appreciates the medical monitoring he receives while at Day Care.
