The main target audience of the Weinberg Village is the elderly community, adults over 55 years old. Weinberg Village is a Kosher facility so it attracts people of the Jewish faith. The village attracts mainly Caucasian adults of a higher economic class. There is a large Jewish population in the Tampa Bay Area. Around 70,000 Jews live in and around the Tampa Bay Area. Around seventy percent of residences at Weinberg Villages belong to the Jewish faith. Although Weinberg Village it a primarily a Jewish community it “welcome and celebrates diversity” (Weinberg Village). Florida as a whole has the highest percentage of adults over 65 in the country. The elderly population makes up 17.3% of the state’s population (NEW YORK). One of Weinberg Villages
goal is to enhance senior’s quality of life. The Villages memory support unit, extended congregate care, and rehabilitation services give Weinberg Village a competitive advantage. This competitive advantage is important because of the high amount of assisted living communities in Florida. Because of the Jewish population the kitchen at Weinberg Village caters to Kosher needs. They provide residences with three fine- dining Kosher meals a day along with a snack. The Kosher needs are important when implementing a menu. Not only will the chef need to be aware of Kosher cooking but so will dietitian and other healthcare members at Weinberg Village.
Has Bushwick changed for good? I am a Bushwick resident for many years now and have seen the changes that have happened. Yes, I agree some things are in the best interest of all who live in this area however after listening to many long-time residents, my opinion has changed. Over the past several years, Bushwick, a neighborhood spanning 1.3 square miles with a population of over 85,000 residents is the next new spot for white residents. Property owners began renovating old buildings and offering them as "lofts" to white residents who want more space, cheap rent and easy access to Manhattan. Transportations to the city is a must to almost all white residents, because of this the MTA began making improvements on the L train. The reputation of Bushwick was notably “ghetto”, this changed once listings began to pop up for
“Dubbed ‘the most popular poet in America’ by Bruce Weber in the New York Times, Billy Collins is famous for conversational, witty poems that welcome readers with humor but often slip into quirky, tender or profound observation on the everyday, reading and writing, and poetry itself” (“Billy Collins”).“Billy Collins was the American Poet Laureate from 2001 to 2003” (534). His work was highly recognized due to his use of literary elements and his high intellect in the field of poetry. Collins constantly receives praise from others. For example John Updike has been quoted praising his poems saying, “lovely poems...limpid, gently and consistently
... Time magazine called Levittown as “it epitomizes the revolution which has brought mass production to the housing industry” (Time). Levittown also reflected the demographics of the era. Levittown has very few old people. In 1950, few of its more than 40,000 residents were past the age of 35.
Castle Vale was built in between 1964 to 1969 to accommodate 20,000 people (Mornement, 2005). In the early days, the estate was comprised of 34 tower blocks alongside a mix of maisonettes and houses. This area was initially redeveloped throughout the 60s to provide houses to the people who had to be relocated through slum clearance in Birmingham City Centre.
In the end of 18th century to 19th century, more and more people began moving into developed cities. Especially in New York City, thousands of new immigrants were seeking a better life than the one they had before. Tenements were built as a way to accommodate this growing population, and the majority people who lived in tenements were working-class, cause back to that time most tenements were located near factories, tenements were highly concentrated in the poorest neighborhoods of the city. A typical tenement building had four to five stories, in order to maximize the number of renters and to maximize their profits, builders wasted little space and buildings that had been single-family residence were divided into multiple living spaces to fit in more people, early tenements might dwell in almost 90 percent of their lots. There were no housing laws to protect the rights for people who lived in tenements until they stated The First
The ethical discernment model described by Slosar (2004) and developed for use at Ascension Health will assist us as we analyze this case. It reminds us that discernment engages our spirituality, intellect, imagination, intuition, and beliefs. It is decision-making that reaches into the heart of our beliefs about God, creation, others, and ourselves. It therefore requires structured time for reflection and prayer from the beginning and throughout the process.
Saturday, November 30, 2013 marked the fourth night of Chanukah. It was also the day that my friend Brandon and I visited the Center for Jewish Life in Marlboro, N.J. According to the information I gathered from different online news articles, it is a fairly new reform Synagogue that opened its doors in another smaller location in 2004. The current site of the temple was the former Monmouth Worship Center. Rabbi Yossi Kanelsky, with the help of the members of the congregation, relocated to this 18,000 square foot building in 2011. The temple is currently located within a scenic community off of Route 79 surrounded by private homes. The Synagogue can accommodate more than 500 people and has 17 classrooms for various activities for both adults and children.

Half-way houses subsidize and contribute a lot to society. They help ex-criminals reintegrate back into functioning members of society. Half-way houses take this responsibility and take care of these ex-convicts by giving them help and attention. They also help drug addicts obtain support to get over their addiction, as well as alcoholics. They have to follow certain actions that necessitate for them to stay in the halfway house. I do agree on how halfway houses should only be for prisoners with minor offenses, however. There should be certain protocols in order for an ex-con or even a drug addict that want to be in a halfway house, such as wanting to get cleaned.
There are many variations that are often hidden within the special population. As of today the health care system inhabit the margins by exposing impoverished individual. The individuals that are part of the special population each carry a unique set of needs. The special population can consist of the uninsured, minorities, children, disabled people, elderly, prisoners, pregnant women, students, and sadly to say veterans and military personnel. Foundations of the special population consist of maintaining the self-perceived notion that fairness will apply to all individuals. It is important within the special population to distinguish the risk factors that is involved in health care. The best way to complete such a task is applying

It used to be a center for African-American culture and commerce, but now, older residents feel unwelcomed. (Gringlas) Carlos Pyatt, an elderly man interviewed by NPR, remembers an instance that shows how much property values have gone up in these areas and how expensive it is to move there now. His neighbor is an older woman, and she bought her house in Shaw in 1981 for $42,000. In 2017, the property tax assessment was more than $888.000. (Gringlas) The price of her house rose by $150,000 in just the last year. She says she is constantly harassed by developers who want her to sell, and it is tempting for her because it is hard to keep up with the property taxes. (Gringlas) So, many like her have decided to sell and have been effectively displaced. While not all longtime homeowners and renters are being displaced, the trend of gentrification is very limiting to people who want to move in. This has caused the percentage of blacks living in Shaw to decreased as well. Shaw was 78 percent black in 1980, but in 2010, that number dropped to 44 percent.
