Los Angeles Jewish Home

Los Angeles Jewish Home is a non-profit provider for senior healthcare services in Los Angeles, California.[1] It is also commonly known as “the Jewish Home,” or simply “the Home.” Over the past century, the organisation has mainly focused on providing their healthcare services for the seniors throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

The Jewish Home's Reseda campuses offer independent living, residential care, skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and Alzheimer's disease and dementia care. The Home's Gonda Healthy Aging Westside Campus in Playa Vista offers independent living as well as assisted living and memory care.

History

On Passover, 1912, the Los Angeles Jewish Home began when a small group of neighbors gave shelter to five homeless Jewish men.[2]

In 1916, the first permanent structure for the Home was purchased in the Boyle Heights section of downtown Los Angeles. The Jewish Home made plans for a facility in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. This facility became known as the California Home for the Aged.[3]

In the 1940s and 1950s, the Home built new facilities and senior residences in Reseda in the San Fernando Valley. The new site became known as the Grancell Village Campus.

In 1972, the California Home for the Aged was renamed Menorah Village. Four years later, the original Jewish Home for the Aged moved to a new location in the Reseda area of the San Fernando Valley. The two San Fernando Valley locations merged, becoming the Jewish Home for the Aging of greater Los Angeles and, ultimately, the Los Angeles Jewish Home.[4]

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the Home constructed new clinics, residences, and facilities as the resident population grew. The Victory Boulevard Campus was named the Eisenberg Village Campus.

Expansions since 2000:

2002: Opening of the Goldenberg•Ziman Special Care Center for Alzheimer's disease and age-related dementia.[5]

2004: Skirball Hospice began providing end-of-life care, and the Jewish Home Center for Palliative Medicine, focuses on the needs of those with chronic medical conditions.[6]

2007: The Joyce Eisenberg-Keefer Medical Center on the Grancell Village Campus opened. The complex had an acute psychiatric hospital, 239 nursing beds, and a geriatric research center.[7]

2010: Opening of the Fountainview at Eisenberg Village, the Home's first Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). The community has 108 residences for independent senior living.[8]

Introduction of Jewish Home Care Services, a home health agency offering nursing, personal care assistance, and other assistance to seniors living at home.[9]

2012: Brandman Centers for Senior Care (BCSC), a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), opened.[10]

2017: Opening of the Gonda Healthy Aging Westside Campus featuring Fountainview at Gonda Westside, a CCRC community in the Playa Vista area of West Los Angeles. It contains 175 independent living Brandman Residences and 24 residential units for assisted living and memory care.[11]
