The Jewish Home is proud to be a leader in the field of gerontology and on meeting the special needs of older adults.

Short-Term Rehabilitation Unit

The short-term rehabilitation unit caters to seniors of all races, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds seeking specialized medical and rehabilitation services, usually following an acute illness, and with the goal of returning to the general community.

Short-term care residents enjoy the same high standards of interdisciplinary care and services available on all units of the Jewish Home.

Length of stay generally ranges from one to eight weeks, and is based on the physician’s determination of medical need.

Acute Psychiatric Unit

A special on-site unit is licensed as an acute psychiatric hospital. We offer individualized treatment for persons aged 55 or older, with serious emotional or behavioral problems, and support services for family members. Admission is open to the general community, as well as to the Home’s residents. Our diagnostic and treatment services emphasize socialization, reality orientation, and independence.

Psychiatric and medical staff are available 24-hours a day. The core team includes a staff psychiatrist, a psychiatric nurse, and a social worker. The psychiatric special care unit is under the direction of the Home’s medical director.

Patients have access to top geriatric specialists, activity programs, nutritional counseling, physical therapy, and our on-site pharmacy.

All rooms are private.

The Garden Unit

The Garden Unit is a specialized care unit for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses. The unit is housed on a secure, code-accessed floor. An adjoining enclosed patio, complete with trees, flowers and seating, allows for outdoor activities.

The staff’s mandate is to provide a safe, empathetic, stimulating environment, and a program of activities designed to meet the challenges of persons living with Alzheimer’s disease.
