All the Comforts of Home—Close to Home

Whether the goal is to get back home or find a new place to call home, we want your loved one to feel comfortable. That’s why we encourage our patients to bring a favorite chair or dresser, paintings, pictures and more. Little things like these go a long way in making loved ones feel secure and happy.

Professional care that feels like family

Metropolitan Jewish Geriatric Center (MJGC) is known for providing superior care, including many services normally found only in hospitals. This high level of expertise makes your loved one’s stay more comfortable because many tests can be done on-site, eliminating stressful trips to the hospital.

We offer a complete range of care provided by skilled and dedicated staff, including:

• Doctors (on-site 24 hours a day)
• Registered nurses
• Physical, occupational and recreational therapists
• Speech pathologists
• Dietitians
• Social workers
• Audiologists

Caring for your loved one means caring for his or her traditions too

Culture and traditions are an important part of life and vital to good health. That’s why we support our residents’ spiritual and emotional needs in many ways:

• Delicious menus prepared to fit your dietary and nutritional needs
• Programs and activities in different languages
• A variety of religious services, including:
• Sabbath services weekly
• Catholic services every Sunday
• Monthly Mass
• Daily Minyanim
• Oneg Shabat
• Clergy available for other services upon request

And because we believe a healthy respect for culture and traditions means happier patients and families, we offer culturally sensitive programs and activities too.

From fitness classes to bingo, we cater to your diverse needs and languages. We even have staff members who speak multiple languages and attend diversity training.

More than a facility—a community

The mind and spirit need support to stay healthy, too, and we offer a variety of activities and entertainment to encourage participation, learning and a sense of community. Examples include gardening and craft classes, games (such as bingo, Scrabble^® and Pokino), birthday parties, holiday celebrations, concerts, trips to the movies and more!
