Real testimonials from sponsors and JAS residents 

From a cost standpoint Meer is the best deal for my dad, and being a child of the Depression, a good deal is very important to him. 

My family has peace of mind and confidence knowing there are many safety procedures in place for the residents' well being, and the staff is very aware of every resident and their needs.

Recently, our mother became a resident of the Meer Apartments. Much to the surprise and thrill of us all, it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of her and our lives! 

“I feel like I’m on a cruise everyday” is what our mother told us after moving into her apartment! She’s met so many fascinating people and has numerous new “best friends.”

My mother’s spirits have soared since she’s been there and I want to thank you.

I must tell you how proud I am to be part of the Jewish community of Metro- Detroit and to be able to offer my mother such an outstanding home for her enjoyment.

On behalf of my mother and the rest of our family, I just wanted to say thank you to all the people who were influential in creating and now maintaining such a wonderful place. We acknowledge your efforts and want you to know that your work is truly appreciated

You have all provided my father with four years of extreme happiness and I believe he will never forget it and neither will his family. You have enriched his life and the lives of countless other seniors.

I want him to know how much I appreciate the moral support your Jewish Apartments home has given me. You deserve a great deal of praise.

Living here has given me a purpose in life.

The kosher meals are wonderful. It’s important for me to be able to keep kosher. Living at Prentis gives me a sense of security and safety. It’s also nice to know this continues after hours with the 24 hour building oversight.

I love the variety of dinners. The service is wonderful. I’m so glad you’re doing the cooking!

Words cannot express our appreciation for your hard work you out in during the electrical outage. Your leadership, supervision and staying cool, calm and collected made everybody around you feel safe and at ease.

Every immigrant knows and understands this very difficult process of adjusting to a new country. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the Jewish Apartments & Services for giving us the opportunity to live here in this beautiful place. 

Our mother loved her life at Meer. She cherished her new found friends, appreciated all the activities in and out of the building and greatly respected the staff. Every time we would attend a meal or an event with her, it was obvious that there as a great deal of love and respect being passed around.

Our family will always hold you dearly in our hearts. You became part of our family during my mothers seven years at Meer.

My Aunt lived at the Meer Apartments for five great years. I wanted to share with you how compassionately and efficiently your staff assisted us during this difficult time. We want to express our thanks to your staff and Board of Directors for providing us with this level of support and care.

Our Mom absolutely loved living at Prentis Apartments. She appreciated your thoughtfulness and how well you went above and beyond to take care of her. We’d like to thank you for your patience and kindness which helped her maintain her dignity to the end.

I know I speak for the extended family when I express our gratitude for the way you made it possible for our Aunt to live in comfort and dignity in a caring environment. Our lives were changed and have been touched because the relationship we had with her in her last years.

JAS satisfied all of my Mother’s wants and needs. The philosophy of our Jewish agencies toward the elderly should be a model for our country.

I have just made my 9th consecutive membership contribution to the Friends and Family Society at JAS. Supporting an organization that does so much for our seniors is a pleasure.

My mother loved her recent stay at Butzel Camp in Ortonville and my wife and I would like to thank the Friends & Family Society at JAS for making it all possible. We are happy to support such an important part of JAS.
