When Hipólita Cáceres’ name was drawn in the lottery for one of the 49 subsidized one-bedroom rental apartments in the Kenneth Gladstone Building, it was a dream come true for her.

At that time, Hipólita lived in a building without heat or hot water.  “The paint was falling off, the plumbing didn’t work, and the landlord would do nothing except charge crazy rents I couldn’t afford,” she recalls.

Now, at the Jewish Home Lifecare’s Gladstone Building, Hipólita is happy and active. She receives the care she needs and finds friends at the Bronx Division Adult Day Healthcare Center right across the street.

“How I love my new, cozy apartment,” she enthuses. “It’s more than I hoped for. I relax and cook all my favorite dishes, and have so many friends here, too. I still think I’m dreaming.”
