Beit Baruch Assisted Living Facility for the Elderly (Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly - JCHE; Hebrew Senior Life - HSL)
This beautiful residence, a combination nursing home and assisted living facility is home to 60 older adults, most of whom were living in isolated,
substandard housing. JCHE has established various exercise programs, including a cutting edge gym, and a fall prevention initiative. Boston professionals facilitate video conferences with Beit Baruch staff to encourage a model of care that integrates physical, mental, and social aspects of the residents’ lives.
Shaker Bidrah - Hip Fracture Program
In 2005, with special funding from the Israel and Overseas Commission of CJP, JCRC and Hebrew SeniorLife launched Shaker Bidrah, a hip fracture surgery program that provides medical care for elderly Jews who have fractured or broken their hips. More than 100 people have received life-saving hip replacement surgery, nearly half of them at no cost to them.
