Since 1899, the Levindale Auxiliary has been a vital service organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of the elderly and disabled at Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital.
In 2000, when Courtland Gardens Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, formerly Jewish Convalescent & Nursing Home, joined the fold, the Auxiliary expanded its services to include residents and staff at that not-for-profit health care center as well.
The Auxiliary is committed to helping to humanize institutional care. Members go beyond the scope of the excellent medical services provided and address the emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of the residents, patients and clients. They provide funding to promote companionship, cultural stimulation and mechanisms, which enable the elderly to maintain their dignity and pride.
The Levindale Auxiliary has members from the community who support the mission of the Auxiliary through membership dues, the Life Membership Program, contribution cards, and fundraising events.
