Daughters Of Jacob/Geriatric

Daughters Of Jacob/Geriatric sits at 1175 Findlay Ave in the Bronx and offers seniors a place where people can get help with daily living, healthcare, and memory care in a safe community that tries to treat everyone with kindness and respect, and although you won't find pools or luxury spas, the suites come with en-suite baths, kitchenettes, and spaces where people can have privacy, plus the staff stays nearby at all hours, ready to help with things like medication, personal care, and emergencies, while meals are served daily and events fill the calendar so people can stay active with music, games, and cultural activities. The site is part of the Centers Healthcare network, and you see a focus on help that fits each person's needs, whether that's assisted living, skilled nursing, dementia care, or just a day program meant to give seniors a place to spend time with others, and they also have respite stays for those who only need care for a short while, which can make things easier on primary caregivers. People who come for the Matthew B. Rosenhaus adult day health care program get an upbeat spot with bright banners and decorations, a stage and pianos for visiting performers, and a chance to try new meals the chef puts together, sometimes using vegetables grown by the residents in the program. The nursing staff stays in close touch with people's doctors and there are regular visits from doctors and a podiatrist, plus a recreation therapist and daily exercise groups with music, dancing, and board games, all designed to help keep folks moving and engaged. The community sits close to hospitals, doctor offices, pharmacies, parks, and even several restaurants and cafes, making it easy for families to visit and for residents to do errands or enjoy meals out, and with transportation choices nearby and a place of worship in the area, most daily needs and activities are covered. The center also runs a defined benefit pension plan handled by the DOJ Support Organization, and this plan pays out a monthly amount to retirees or, in some cases, in divorce settlements, to an alternate payee, but it's a frozen plan, meaning people only keep what they've already earned but won't earn more in the future, and benefits are paid monthly for life once someone reaches the set retirement age, which helps with steady income after retirement. There's no fancy advertising here, just a steady effort to give seniors a comfortable, respectful place to live or spend their days, and while the focus stays on practical help and care instead of fancy extras, some reviews mention high satisfaction with the adult day care services. There's a goal to make every elder feel as independent and supported as possible, both for daily needs and for being part of a lively community.
