4. What is Jewish Home Lifecare?
• We are a 165 year old not-for-profit agency that offers health
services and assistance to elders at our campuses in Manhattan,
the Bronx and Westchester.
• Our 3 skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities have 1,600 beds.
Our nursing home campuses offer:
• Special Therapy Centers - Swallowing, Hemodialysis, Vision
• Beautiful gardens, cafes, libraries, media centers, lifestyle and
religious programming and activities
• Senior Housing: Kittay House, 3 HUD 202s in the Bronx

5. Community Services Division
Care and support to keep elders healthy and independent in their
own homes.
• Home Care in Bronx and Manhattan
• Adult Day Programs at all three nursing home campuses
• HAPI Home Health Care Agency
• Telehealth: HealthMonitor and Medication Dispenser Services
• Solutions at Home – Geriatric Care Management

6. Reasons for GCD Program Creation
1. Need for elders to have meaningful roles within the
nursing home.
2. Value placed on intergenerational relationships.
3. JHL’s commitment to community & youth.
4. Lack of mentors for at-risk youth & lack of understanding
of college & career paths.
5. Workforce development critical strategic issue for JHL
• Shortages of geriatric professionals (eg MD, RN, & OT/PT).
‣ Reassessment of JHL’s existing
intergenerational program.

services is expected to more than double from 14 million in 2000 to 27

• Only 8.0% of all RNs are under the age of 30. The average age of the
RN population in the United States is 46.8 years.
