The Jewish home specializes in rehabilitative therapy. Rehabilitation at the home means restoration of someone to a useful place in society, even at an advanced age, where a hopeful future may seem dim; the treatment of physical disabilities by massage and electrotherapy and exercises, guided by specialists and dedicated care givers adds years of meaningful life to seniors who without the treatment would feel useless and may lose their spirit to carry on. At the Jewish home, all life is precious. As long as one clings to life, the Home is there to provide the best quality of life possible.

Features of quality managed care facilities:
