The Jewish Tower

The Jewish Tower, found at 3160 Howell Mill Road Northwest in Atlanta, is a senior living community for people aged 62 and above, with 60 independent living units, and the place is part of the Jewish HomeLife network so you get a sense of community and care that's guided by Jewish values, and you'll notice they put a strong focus on dignity, cultural values, affordable rates with income-based rent, and helping people feel like they belong, and they do have a full-time Service Coordinator to help with resident needs, which helps take the pressure off folks who need some support but still want to live on their own as much as possible. People living in Jewish Tower can pick from care options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, private home care, hospice, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing, and they give these communities their own names, like The Balser Tower, The Zaban Tower, The William Breman Jewish Home, Aviv Rehabilitation Center, Berman Commons, Eckstein Home Care, and Weinstein Hospice, so if someone needs extra help or special care, they can usually find it right there or nearby, and when it comes to daily life, residents get features such as 24-hour onsite supervision, air conditioning, restrooms, a laundry room, parking, WiFi, and outdoor seating, though it's worth saying that the laundry room does have some vents with covers turned upside down, maybe to hide some of the dirt, so that's something people should probably know ahead of time, and while the community has nice things like a reading room, fitness area, yard spaces, and rooms for games and movies, there have been safety problems with dirty carpets, fire hazards from blocked equipment and messy ductwork, so it's not always spotless. Residents can take part in regular events like movie nights, music, art programs, fitness schedules, animal therapy visits, and trips outside the community, and staff help with transportation to doctor's visits or faith-based services as needed, plus on-site meal programs provide up to three home-cooked meals daily with the ability to adjust diets for clinical needs like diabetes or high blood pressure, which is handy. Housekeeping and laundry services help keep things tidy, and the staff can help seniors with bathing, dressing, and hygiene, plus medication and medical needs, like insulin or two-person transfers when required, and there's always someone around in case of emergencies. Folks also get to enjoy evening events, hairdresser visits, and other things that make it feel more like home, but anyone living here should be aware of both the social activities and the practical side-like the need for better maintenance to fix dirty carpets and clear out fire hazards-because while the Jewish Tower wants to support aging with dignity and offers affordable and community-focused living, there's still room for improvement with building upkeep and safety.
