The Reutlinger Community sits in Danville, California, as a nonprofit senior living community with a focus on providing Assisted Living, Enhanced Care, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and short or long-term Rehabilitation, and its roots go all the way back to 1950 when it was founded as The Home For Jewish Parents in Oakland. The 110,000-square-foot facility offers room and board for up to 180 seniors and has newly renovated areas to improve comfort and daily life, and the apartments, available as studios or one-bedrooms, have their own kitchens and bathrooms, so residents can enjoy privacy along with community features like communal dining rooms, outdoor courtyards, a gym, a museum, and a library. The Reutlinger Community puts a big focus on a "Continuum of Care" program, which helps couples with different needs stay together while getting the right care for each, letting people age in place while the staff, who have over 100 years of combined experience, work hard to treat every resident as the most important person in the building.
The community is proud of its Jewish heritage and values but is open and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, faiths, and identities, and as part of the Keshet network, supports equality for LGBTQ Jews and families, making sure everyone feels included no matter their age, , race, or ability. People here can receive help with daily living, emergency care, home care services, and even transportation via the community bus, and there are options for spiritual care and educational seminars, including Dementia Awareness sessions. The four levels of care-Assisted Living, Enhanced Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing-are designed so residents get the personalized support they need, whether recovering from illness or living with memory challenges, while still having the chance to take part in social events like their 75th Anniversary Celebration, enjoy art in the online Gallery, use features like Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram to stay connected, and relax in the newly refreshed common areas. The staff works to provide not just high-quality health care, but also daily support and a sense of community, all rooted in upholding traditions and values important to many, with the facilities, programs, and experienced team focused on making each day safer, easier, and more social for every resident.
