They are committed to compassionately putting the person before the task and to connecting genuinely with one another.They strive to be a center of excellence focused around seniors and based in Jewish values, always innovating ways for people to continue growing and connecting within and beyond our walls. Our volunteers support ongoing programs such as music bingo, knitting, horticulture, to name a few. We also make financial contributions for resident programming. Can we please ask you to support our work with local agencies by donating to the Diane Kaplan Social Action Fund?  We can only do this with your support…..any amount goes a long way!!
