We treat the whole person and strive to improve his or her life physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. While non-sectarian, we uphold the Judaic principles of our founders by treating elders with dignity and respect. We practice this in our continuum of care—in their homes, in the community and in Jewish Home residences and healthcare facilities. 2006 was a year of challenge and growth in our New York communities. It was also the beginning of an important change: re-envisioning long-term elder care and reinventing the concept of nursing home life.
