Miami Jewish Health Systems sits on a 20-acre campus in Miami, caring for nearly 700 older adults and serving about 8,000 people each year through a mix of residential, medical, and community programs spread across South Florida. The main campus at 5200 NE 2nd Avenue has independent and assisted living options in the Irving Cypen Tower and Hazel Cypen Tower, skilled nursing and rehab in the Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation facility, and special care units for dementia. Skilled nursing gets high marks, with a 4-star CMS rating and recognition from groups like the American Healthcare Association for quality care. The Joseph Gringlas Center for Integrated Rehabilitative Medicine offers full-service rehab for chronic pain, mobility problems, and memory disorders.
Older adults can join Florida PACE Centers found in Miami, Hialeah, Westchester, Miramar, and Kendall, which help people stay independent by providing medical care and daily help. The Frank C. and Lynn Scaduto MIND Institute on campus focuses on brain health, memory care for Alzheimer's, and research, while clinic visits, therapy, mental health, kidney care, chronic pain management, and rehab make up a big part of daily services, both on campus and at home. There's also hospice care under the Seasons Hospice & Palliative Care program, and the community contracts with other hospitals and care centers to give even more options. A dedicated team, Miami Jewish EmpathiCare, works to understand how each person feels to give support and create steady routines.
The campus, which has about 500 licensed beds-some for long-term or rehab stays, and a special 30+ bed geriatric hospital-sits inside a protected, gated area open to people of all backgrounds. Guests can stay in on-campus suites and walk along trails lined with features like an aviary, ice cream parlor, salon, bank, gift shop, and market. There are regular lifestyle activities, fitness options, and chef-led dining, with easy access to Miami's arts scene. Infection control follows the latest CMS and CDC rules. Masks and designated visiting hours are in place, and there's a certified Hurricane Safety Zone with 24-hour security, emergency backup, staff, and supplies.
Miami Jewish Health Systems recently started a "FiftyTwoNorth" neighborhood, aiming for independent living with more modern touches. The campus remains home to a long tradition, spanning more than 85 years, of helping older adults stay as healthy and comfortable as possible, whether they need short-term recovery, memory care, home nursing, case managers, adult day care, or support with daily living. Even with a negative net income near $16.5 million against $53.6 million in revenue, the center continues its nonprofit mission and keeps full standards compliance as accredited by The Joint Commission. Miami Jewish Health includes programs like the no-risk Priority Club for interested seniors, and is part of a larger social care network powered by findhelp to connect people to services from meals to counseling. The whole goal centers on helping each person age well-physically, mentally, and socially-right in the vibrant heart of Miami.
