Long Term Care • Rehabilitation Services • Home Care • Hospice Day Services • Advocacy and Education • Long Term Care Protection

For over 40 years, The Jewish Home has been a leader and trusted provider of skilled nursing and senior care services. Through the years, the needs of seniors and the community have changed and we have responded by introducing community programs with “Jewish Senior Services” as the umbrella for our services. Our vision is to be the premier provider to support individuals and families.

Jewish Senior Services’ nearly 800 staff members provide care and services with compassion and a commitment to excellence. Thanks to their efforts and dedication, we have been awarded a 5-star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and a Top Nursing Home designation by U.S. News & World Report.

Our flagship nursing home, The Jewish Home, is known for its commitment to education and teaching programs. We partner with area hospitals and train students and nurses from a number of universities and programs. Our clinical staff receives ongoing education to ensure that they are providing the highest possible quality of care — and quality of life to those in our trust.

Each of our programs and services reflect a Person-centered philosophy that fosters commitment with a customized care plan to meet individual needs. We welcome the opportunity to serve you in either our home or yours through one of our many services.

On behalf of our Jewish Senior Services “family,” thank you for considering us to meet your needs.

Sincerely,

Andrew H. BanoffPresident & CEO Jewish Senior Services
