Children from most Jewish schools, including Beth Tfiloh, Torah Institute, Chizuk Amuno and others, visit our residents and share the joy of the holidays. A Jewish Culture Hour, Yiddish Club and Jewish learning sessions are also offered.

Small group activities are geared to residents who need special attention. Room-bound residents can enjoy fulfilling activities that are brought to them.

Family Involvement

We understand that placing a family member in a nursing home can be difficult. That’s why we encourage family members to join activities, to visit loved ones frequently, and to share in special occasions like quiet Shabbat dinners. Children and grandchildren can make a relative’s day a joyous occasion. Families are also encouraged to attend art and music programs and enjoy wine and cheese receptions with our guests.

Our Social Work Department coordinates family counseling, conducts support groups and is always available to discuss family concerns.

Community Involvement

Residents can develop special relationships and stay active when volunteers visit from schools, synagogues and other community institutions. Speakers provide enriching cultural discussions and lectures, and residents participate in special events at Jewish Convalescent & Nursing Home, including ritual shearings, sheva bruchot ceremonies and donor luncheons.
