The New Jewish Home, Manhattan sits in New York City and has served older adults since 1848, welcoming people of all faiths, races, and income levels, and really, when you walk in, you notice they work with both Mount Sinai Health System and NYU Langone Health for specialized short-term rehabilitation care, so people who need help after a hospital stay, illness, surgery, or even COVID-19 can get expert help, especially since they're the only nursing facility in New York City with full-time physicians and nurse practitioners right there every day in partnership with Mount Sinai, which isn't something you see everywhere, and the place is also the first skilled nursing facility in New York State to get Joint Commission Certification for heart failure, which means they know how to care for people with serious conditions. The Manhattan Health and Rehabilitation Center inside offers different kinds of care, like post-acute rehabilitation, skilled nursing, adult day health programs, and geriatric care management, and if a family's looking for memory care or long-term stays, they've got rooms and staff to help with those situations as well, which you can tell by the way they do things, focusing on each person's needs with lots of support if someone's dealing with chronic conditions, mobility rebuilding, or recovery after surgery.
There's the Solutions at Home® program if someone wants to get help staying safe at home with Home Health Aides, and they put a lot of effort into the Hospitality Program, which offers special meals, celebrations, personal attention, and regular visits with doctors or therapists. People can use therapy gyms with specialized equipment and get physical or occupational therapy, or join the Center for Advanced Rehabilitation, and some might even try the Jintronix system that helps make rehab feel more like a game than a chore, which can make therapy easier for some. The building itself has gardens, common rooms, and bedrooms designed for comfort and to help people rest and recover, so families don't have to worry about crowded or clinical spaces all the time.
They also provide adult day health care, senior housing options, modern wound care, and emergency care because needs can change quickly, and with over a thousand staff members, there always seems to be someone around to answer a question. The New Jewish Home stays open all day and night, every day, offering services like assisted living, multicare support, home care, orthopedic and cardiac rehab, and even dedicated programs for family caregivers who need guidance.
