Leavitt Family Jewish Home

Leavitt Family Jewish Home, which many people know as Julian J. Leavitt Family Jewish Nursing Home, sits in Longmeadow, MA, and serves seniors from the Jewish community and beyond as part of JGS Lifecare. This facility runs as a non-profit and offers a full range of aging services, like assisted living, long-term skilled nursing, memory support and Alzheimer's care, short-term rehab, independent living, and home health and hospice care through its own VNA program. There's also the Wernick Adult Day Health Center and the Sosin Center for Rehab right at the same address. Leavitt Family Jewish Home has a focus on Jewish culture, so residents can take part in religious customs and community events while receiving care from staff trained to provide services with compassion and skill in a home-like setting. Seniors get help with daily living where needed but also can keep independence, enjoy social time with others, and access fine dining in assisted living. For those with memory issues, there are special programs tailored to different stages, and for people leaving the hospital, short-term rehabilitation aims to help them recover and return home when possible. Adult day health services give seniors a safe place to socialize and get medical help when family isn't available during the day. The facility's approach covers many needs that come up as people age, including counseling related to health or transitions in care. Prices can start around $275 and can go up depending on the kind of care; families can get more exact pricing and community details by asking directly or using the free consulting service on the website, and reviews-of which there's currently one, with a 3.0 star rating-are mostly verified for accuracy. Leavitt Family Jewish Home also participates in healthcare safety campaigns and quality committees, works on preventing falls and reducing unnecessary medication use, and tries to support comfort and respect at the end of life. Everything focuses on supporting seniors' needs and helping families find the right fit, whether through skilled nursing, memory support, adult day programs, or help planning future care.
