The Jewish Home for the Elderly of Fairfield County

Extreme Disappointment

I have an elederly parent who is there for rehab care after a broken hip. At 95 she is if frail but is totally with it . The care she has gotten is deplorable. I think greater care is taken for a dog at a veterinary facility.

She requires a assistance going to the bathroom howe...

My mother is in the short term rehab section of the Jewish Home. She specifically requested that she be sent there s/p angioplasty, having had a positive experience there 4 years ago s/p hip surgery.

She was given a "2 minute" shower...

The Jewish Home for the Elderly is an excellent nursing home where my grandmother has stayed for 5 years. She's checked on regularly, her health is closely monitored, and has a wide variety of meals to choose from. While the facility primarily serves Jewish elderly, my grandmother has been Christian her whole life and has never been judged. She would say she is unhappy but she hasn't taken full advantage of the benefits of JHE, including the outdoor courtyard and gardens where families can eat ...
