Set amidst 16 scenic acres featuring a gazebo, pond, and walking areas, this distinctive community is designed to enrich the mind, body, and spirit of each resident. The campus boasts 136 private long-term care rooms and 60 brand new private rooms specifically for individuals undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. These accommodations enhance comfort and privacy, supporting a diverse range of medical and cognitive needs from long-term skilled nursing to specialized rehabilitation and memory care.
At the heart of Jewish Home At Rockleigh's approach is the Green House model, which prioritizes autonomy, dignity, and individualized care within a true household setting. This innovative model transforms traditional elder care by fostering a real home environment, empowered staff, and elder-directed living. Residents of Jewish Home At Rockleigh experience the benefits of this model through close-knit relationships, meaningful engagement, and tailored support that respects each person's independence and preferences. Programs such as the Charles P. Berkowitz Center for Rehabilitation Excellence underscore the commitment to specialized, innovative therapies and rehabilitation services for individuals regaining independence after illness, injury, or surgery.
The community also offers dedicated support for those living with Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and other forms of dementia. Memory Lane is a specialized unit on campus designed for individuals with mild to moderate dementia. In this secure, real-home setting, residents enjoy the comfort of 24 private studios and a safe park-like outdoor space, complemented by gourmet meals with table service and engaging activities led by dedicated professionals seven days a week. The focus on personalized memory care extends throughout the community, with a specially trained staff using the Green House philosophy to enhance residents' quality of life, ensuring their days are filled with dignity, purpose, and joyful engagement.
