The New Jewish Home, Manhattan

I had three recent stays at the New Jewish Home, the longest being close to a month. Overall I was happy with my experience. I will touch on the areas most people would be concerned with. Cleanliness: The facility is very clean, and my room was cleaned each day and garbage unloaded periodically through the day. Food: Three meals a day and they are plentiful. The meals were good and I felt they put some thought into them and tried to make them upscale and not just institutional. Tacos, jerk chicken and a St. Patrick Day’s cookie! Most important, the staff was attentive and nice. I had PT most days and you could see the staff really cared. Rosa and Anafe were particularly wonderful for PT. Elvira was my aid during the month visit and was so helpful and made me feel comfortable when she helped me shower. There are also little touches that I enjoyed. Musicians came around once a week to sing to each patient. Care dogs also made the rounds. There is a bird aviary and a small pond with turtles and koi fish which was a peaceful setting. Even the front desk staff is friendly. Thanks to Donneil who helped me get into my car when I left the last time.

My Mom was there for 3 weeks. Staff was wonderful. PT & OT were very patient & thorough. Nurses were caring. Just discharge day was difficult. Need someone to help patient get a cab that uses a wheel chair. Otherwise pleased. 👍😍

The care teams are responsive and supportive and the facility, while old, is clean. We've had a couple of family members here and other facilities for SAR and SNF over the past couple of years and The Jewish Home is our facility of preference. Excellent rehab support and wound care. The only negative we had was typical for all facilities we have experienced- no in house pharmacy. A particular shout out to the NP Sonya Choudhury who was a beacon of light and support, helping care for our mom when she transitioned to comfort care.

I can’t say enough about the care my sister received at The New Jewish Home. She was admitted to the nursing home with a terminal illness and was later placed in hospice care. Throughout it all, the entire team—staff, doctors, and nurses—made sure she was as comfortable and peaceful as possible every step of the way. The administration was incredibly supportive as well. They kept my family and me informed throughout the entire process and made us feel at ease during a very difficult time. When my sister eventually passed, they continued to show compassion and helped guide us through the arrangements with kindness and respect. I’m truly grateful for the care and dignity they gave my sister, and for the support they provided to our family. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of compassionate care.

I recently transferred my grandfather to The New Jewish Home (Manhattan) from another nursing facility, and the difference has been remarkable. From the moment he arrived, the staff made him feel welcome and genuinely cared for. The nurses and doctors are attentive, compassionate, and always take the time to address our questions and concerns. The rehabilitation services have also been excellent, helping him stay active and engaged in his recovery. One of the biggest improvements has been the variety of daily activities, which keep him stimulated and connected with others. What truly stands out is the ability for him to communicate comfortably in Spanish with both staff and fellow residents. This has made a huge difference in his happiness and overall well-being. Overall, our experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I’m grateful to have transferred grandpa to a place where my he feels safe, supported, and truly at home. Thank you to all the staff for taking good care of him.
