At the top of their class. People don't realize the world of difference an ethical nonprofit makes over a for-profit granny-mill. The Jewish Home not only provides the best care but proves Kosher food can be delicious too.

Not sure I understand the negative 1 star reviews. My parents have been here for a couple of years. It is the third assisted living facility they've been to in many years, and this is by far the best run one I've ever seen. The staff is incredibly professional, and they work every day on even the small details. We sleep better knowing they're being taken care of at the Jewish Home.

The receptionist is extremely rude & unprofessional! I called to ask a simple yes or no question but instead, she stated she didn't have time and immediately hung up!
