The Hebrew Center for Health & Rehabilitation

After years of dealing with less than favorable Nursing Rehabilitation Homes for my mom on and off for several years, she recently ended up being placed in Hebrew Home. I was a bit skeptical at first but once I walked through the entrance door, I had a good feeling about this place. From the warm welcome from the woman sitting at the lobby desk to the aid, (Brianna) & Nurse, on my mom’s first day there. Other places let my mom sit in bed wet for hours and didn’t get her up for days- this place gets her up every day and the aids & nurses are very attentive. I am so grateful that the caring staff are taking care of her to enable her to hopefully come home soon. I can finally sleep a little better knowing my mom is well cared for!

I have had the experience of placing my beloved mother in a facility in Florida and at this facility Hebrew Center and I have to say this facility was super impressive. They update you constantly and provide many options to ensure that Mom was given additional care as needed which is amazing. The facility was amazingly clean and the cleaners are visible at random times of the day ensuring the place was clean. The staff was extremely caring for the most part and allowed you to voice your concerns and made adjustments to support you. Mom’s last day was peaceful for her and I have to say that everyone there was supportive of the entire situation making my last day with Mom as comfortable and peaceful as possible given the circumstances. Thank you Hebrew Center for helping us and being there for Mom.

My mother was here for 2 years in the memory care unit and passed away there last month. The overall facility is clean, organized and maintained well. The 4th floor supervising nurse, stationed nurses, care manager and some nurses aids were good at responding to our concerns about my mothers health care and living needs. Most residents share a room with another resident and bathroom but each will have their own closet to hang clothes and personal items. There is a special shower space for aids to give residents a bath. They have a living room area, dining room and sensory room for the residents. The activity director does her best to keep the residents engaged and active throughout the week. Like any place they could still fine tune and make some health care staff improvements and/or training. No place is perfect but I would recommend this nursing home for anyone who has a loved one that has Alzheimer's or other dementia.

Today when we came to visit my father ~Leslie Lawson on 8/4/24, his aid had him up, dressed and sitting in a chair ready for our visit! We we able to take him outside and when we came back his aid had provided more chairs for us to continue our visit comfortably. We did NOT ask for the chairs. She did this on her own. That was a tremendously thoughtful thing to do- in light of all she has to do!! We were super grateful and impressed by this act of kindness! We had a great visit. We did not get her name. But she deserves recognition!

Upon arrival the CNA staff made sure I got comfortable in my room. She arrange things around, adjusted my bed to my satisfaction. The next morning all the intake paperwork was done in a timely manner. Nursing staff is very accurate with dispensing of medication, it is very comfortable to see nursing staff check, and recheck to make sure that the right person is getting the right medication. The Administration Director (name A K) is very considerate, and very kind, making sure you get everything that you need, when you need it. For example. ... My room became uncomfortable with the room mate that I had, she, the Administrator, adjusted the situation to where not only I was satisfied, but the roommate was satisfied as well, I was admitted due to an amputation, the physical therapy team is very professional in administering the training that I need in order to become independent and continue on with my life, on a positive note. Thank you Hebrew Center for your exceptional care, and for going that extra mile. Sincerely Earl G.Dudley

It's never easy when a loved one has to go into a nursing home or rehab facility. So with that said, I will say that everyone there was so friendly and helpful and attentive to our needs for our loved one. In my opinion, Hebrew house is the best! They are even given the whole facility, a facelift.

My husband was a resident of the The Hebrew Center for Health and Rehabilitation for 3 years on 4 South. He recently passed away at the age of 65. Although there were moments that could have been better, I am grateful for the many dedicated nurses and CNAs on 4 South who consistently displayed expertise, warmth, and empathy every day. As I reflect on the past 3 years, I especially want to take a moment to thank the Memory Care Director Karen Moemeka for the compassion and kindness she showed my husband while he was a resident on 4 South at the Hebrew Center. Her ability to truly see him not just as another resident but as a person with dignity and a need for engagement was so meaningful. Instead of letting him sit in the hallway , she would take him to the sensory room where he could experience more comfort and stimulation. That small act spoke volumes about her commitment to providing the best possible care. Her support towards me, as I navigated the challenges of advocating for my husband, was a constant source of comfort. Her professionalism was evident in everything she did, but it was her compassion that stood out the most. The skill with which she engages residents, keeping them connected and involved, shows her deep understanding of the unique needs of those with memory challenges. It's not just a job to her - it's clear that she cares deeply about the well-being of everyone. The attached photo from the 2024 New Year Celebration is an example of the many activities planned throughout the year where challenges were turned into opportunities for connection and understanding that were meaningful. The transformative power of music allowed the residents to momentarily set aside their health challenges and immerse themselves in the joy of the holiday season. As a family, we will treasure this moment and the smile on Ed's face. Thank you Karen!

My mother is currently at the Hebrew Center long-term and I couldn’t be more happy with the care she is receiving. Her nursing staff are great and attentive. The social worker is always amazing and he gets things done. Administration has been very helpful through the process and answering my questions. Thank you Hebrew Center
