Our quality staff of healthcare professionals and on-site specialty clinics ensure our ability to deliver high standards of care to our residents.
Physicians are at the Home daily, and are on call 24-hours a day. All medical
staff are geriatric specialists, working under the supervision of an on-site
full-time medical director. The medical staff is complemented by Nursing, which employs more than 410 RNs, LVNs, nurse managers, and certified nursing assistants.
The Jewish Home’s Nursing department aims to enhance the residents’ independence
and well-being by promoting their optimal level of functioning, and by developing
supportive, caring interactions within a professional context.
As part of the interdisciplinary team identifying and addressing the individual
needs of each resident, the nursing staff coordinates and implements the plan
of care requirements.
Nursing provides gerontological education to staff through
orientation programming, staff development, and clinical consultations. Courses
cover advanced gerontological approaches to healthcare.
