Worldwide, the Big Apple is second only to Tel Aviv in its number of Jewish residents, and some of New York\u2019s Jewish social agencies date back more than a century and a half. Today, care options range from Shabbat meal delivery and home visits to senior-centric fitness centers, award-winning skilled nursing facilities, and specialized assistance for the city\u2019s aging Holocaust survivors.<\/p>\n<h2>Jewish home care choices<\/h2>\n<p>From friendly visits to old-fashioned medical house calls, senior New Yorkers who live in their own homes have lots of resources available. A few examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dorot partners with other local agencies to offer social and wellbeing visits, assistance getting to appointments, frozen kosher meals, and fresh Shabbat dinners, and wellness programs.<\/li>\n<li>The Jewish Association Serving the Aging (JASA) offers similar help along with case-management and caregiver help, elder abuse prevention programs, and mental health care.<\/li>\n<li>The UJA-Federation of New York helps low-income residents and Holocaust survivors with case management, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/new-york-ny\/in-home-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #9d7bae;\">home care<\/span><\/a>, counseling, and cash aid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Several of the city\u2019s Jewish senior living facilities, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/local\/palisade-nursing-home-company-inc-bronx-ny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #9d7bae;\">Hebrew Home at Riverdale<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senioradvisor.com\/local\/jewish-home-lifecare-harry-and-jeanette-weinberg-campus-bronx-bronx-ny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #9d7bae;\">Jewish Home Lifecare<\/span><\/a>, also serve elders living at home.<\/p>\n<h2>Day programs for Jewish seniors in New York<\/h2>\n<p>Part of the joy of New York living is the never-ending list of places to go and things to see. That\u2019s even truer for seniors who live alone and want social time, fresh learning challenges, or a change of scenery.<\/p>\n<p>JASA operates two dozen senior centers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and on Long Island. The centers\u2019 offerings include art classes, health screenings, digital literacy training, and family style meals. Seniors with memory issues can take part in specialized JASA day programs that include dementia therapies and caregiver support. JASA also hosts lunch-hour talks on culture and history and offers college-level classes for older adults on topics like genealogy, creative writing, and technology.<\/p>\n<p>Medical day programs are provided by several agencies, including the Brooklyn centers run by Metropolitan Jewish Health Services. These centers bring together certified nurse assistants, physical therapists, social workers, nutrition specialists, and other professionals. The main MJHS Adult Day Health Center campus offers care in English, Russian, Spanish, and other languages.<\/p>\n<h2>Assisted living and continuum-of-care communities<\/h2>\n<p>When round the clock help is a must, check out New York\u2019s Jewish-affiliated assisted living and skilled nursing homes.
