Jewish Senior Services offers a wide range of care and services for older adults, so whether someone needs a little help at home or full-time nursing care, the place has options for many situations. The community uses a Household Model of Care, where residents stay in small groups of about 14 people, each with their own private room, but they often gather in shared dining rooms, living rooms, or out on the balconies together, and it does seem to help people feel more at home and less like they're in a hospital. Staff include caregivers, physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and clergy, and they're there to offer physical, social, and spiritual support, which can really help when someone has memory challenges or physical issues. There's a 294-bed skilled nursing facility for people who need long-term care, short-term rehab, or memory care, like for dementia or Alzheimer's, and each resident has a care plan that's tailored to what they actually need, whether it's help with daily activities, medication, or getting around safely.
People who need support during the day can go to the adult day program where there's social activities, recreation, and some help for caregivers who need a break, and others who'd rather stay at home can have the home health care team come over to help with things like recovering from an illness or getting therapy after a hospital stay. Jewish Senior Services also runs hospice care for people with serious illnesses, and the focus there is on making folks comfortable and helping with both the body and the spirit, so families don't have to face everything by themselves. If someone needs help planning for long-term care, there's eldercare navigation services, support groups, workshops, and even an Institute on Aging that handles geriatric assessment, physician services, and aging technology.
People living there have access to a lot of amenities, including kosher meals, fitness center, salon and barber shop, housekeeping, transportation, laundry services, activities rooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and property features like sprinkler systems and handicap access, so folks stay comfortable and safe. Those in independent living or assisted living can get as much or as little support as they want, and the memory care program is set up carefully to help avoid confusion or wandering. There are programs for recreation, health, and wellness, and the Center for Elder Abuse Prevention tries to make sure everyone is treated safely and kindly. The community is under the larger Jewish Home Family, which runs different residences and programs in the area. Overall, Jewish Senior Services tries to make life better for seniors by providing support in whatever way they need, in a setting that's warm and respectful.
