Jewish Senior Services, known as Mozaic Jewish Home within the Mozaic Senior Life campus, has served as a trusted choice for families seeking long-term care options for more than half a century. With a legacy rooted in community and compassion, Mozaic Jewish Home is recognized for its warm, residential environment and its commitment to fostering a sense of belonging for every individual. The care model at Mozaic is centered around small Households, each housing fourteen residents who benefit from the privacy of their own rooms and baths, while enjoying access to shared living spaces such as the dining room, den, living room, and outdoor balcony. This design supports both independence and socialization, enabling residents to form meaningful connections with one another and to participate in daily activities that enrich their lives.
The Mozaic Jewish Home ensures that cuisine and dietary needs are met with great care, offering kosher style food throughout its facilities, as well as a strictly kosher Household known as Kaufman. Residents and visitors can also enjoy meals in the Berkowitz Family Courtyard Café, which maintains strict kosher standards under the certification of New England Kosher, with the approval of the Vaad HaKashrus of Connecticut. The spiritual and cultural life within the home is vibrant, with Shabbat and holiday services held both in the on-site synagogue and near the Resident Households to maximize accessibility and participation. The home maintains strong ties with the broader Jewish community through established rabbinical training programs with Yeshiva University and The Jewish Theological Seminary, reflecting a deep commitment to ongoing Jewish learning and engagement.
The leadership at Mozaic Jewish Home, including Rabbi Stephen Shulman, Director of Pastoral Services, prioritizes the spiritual wellbeing of residents by coordinating diverse programs and facilitating opportunities for spiritual expression and involvement. These efforts are enhanced by collaborations with community clergy, fostering a nurturing atmosphere where each resident’s religious and cultural needs are honored. Residents receive comprehensive support from an experienced team of physicians, nurses, rehabilitation and recreational therapists, social workers, and clergy, ensuring that care encompasses physical, social, and spiritual dimensions.
Daily life at Mozaic Jewish Home is enriched with a wide range of programming designed to connect residents with the surrounding community and keep them engaged. Activities include social events, family and volunteer visits, and excursions to theaters, museums, and local attractions. The home is particularly proud of its tradition of honoring longevity and wisdom within its community, celebrating residents who achieve centenarian status by gathering families, staff, and dignitaries to commemorate their lives and accomplishments. The dedication of the entire staff ensures that each resident receives the highest quality of care, tailored to promote optimal living and maintain dignity. Education and continual training for staff are fundamental, contributing to the integration of the latest treatment approaches and earning national recognition for quality assessment and teaching programs. Through this resident-centered philosophy, Mozaic Jewish Home upholds its commitment to enabling individuals to live life to the fullest, within a nurturing and supportive community environment.
