Jewish Home Lifecare, Manhattan

I had three recent stays at the New Jewish Home, the longest being close to a month. Overall I was happy with my experience. I will touch on the areas most people would be concerned with. Cleanliness: The facility is very clean, and my room was cleaned each day and garbage unloaded periodically through the day. Food: Three meals a day and they are plentiful. The meals were good and I felt they put some thought into them and tried to make them upscale and not just institutional. Tacos, jerk chicken and a St. Patrick Day’s cookie! Most important, the staff was attentive and nice. I had PT most days and you could see the staff really cared. Rosa and Anafe were particularly wonderful for PT. Elvira was my aid during the month visit and was so helpful and made me feel comfortable when she helped me shower. There are also little touches that I enjoyed. Musicians came around once a week to sing to each patient. Care dogs also made the rounds. There is a bird aviary and a small pond with turtles and koi fish which was a peaceful setting. Even the front desk staff is friendly. Thanks to Donneil who helped me get into my car when I left the last time.

I recently transferred my grandfather to The New Jewish Home (Manhattan) from another nursing facility, and the difference has been remarkable. From the moment he arrived, the staff made him feel welcome and genuinely cared for. The nurses and doctors are attentive, compassionate, and always take the time to address our questions and concerns. The rehabilitation services have also been excellent, helping him stay active and engaged in his recovery. One of the biggest improvements has been the variety of daily activities, which keep him stimulated and connected with others. What truly stands out is the ability for him to communicate comfortably in Spanish with both staff and fellow residents. This has made a huge difference in his happiness and overall well-being. Overall, our experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I’m grateful to have transferred grandpa to a place where my he feels safe, supported, and truly at home. Thank you to all the staff for taking good care of him.
