What Does It Mean To Offer Care “In The Jewish Tradition?”



While JCHC is an organization founded to help Jewish seniors in the North Jersey area, that doesn’t mean we don’t want to help everyone. It turns out that living in a residence operating in a Jewish tradition is actually a philosophy that benefits everyone, and restricts no one regardless of religion, race, creed, age, or social status.

At JCHC We believe that nurturing mind, body, and soul is what keeps our independent and assisted living residents happy and healthy. Our goal is to empower our seniors while allowing them to live fully and safely. Care in the Jewish tradition is based on these values, Chesed (kindness/love), Kavod (respect), Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), and Tzedakah (charity). Regardless of who you worship, we feel these values can relate to anyone and everyone.

Senior Activities at JCHC

We do this by keeping a busy daily activity calendar as well as opportunities to enjoy the quiet on our patio or lovely nature walks. It’s your choice how to spend your time. At JCHC, delicious food is a priority in nourishing the body and soul, as well as the company we enjoy that food with. Monday through Friday consists of restaurant-style meals in our elegant, community dining room. Our chefs are happy to cater to any dietary restrictions, kosher or vegetarian for example.

Senior Amenities at JCHC

Some of the amenities you will enjoy at JCHC include a beauty/barbershop, a convenience store with pantry items and fresh produce, private dining rooms for when you’re entertaining family and friends, in addition to a card room, computer center, art studio, movie theater, fitness center, and lending library.

At JCHC our services range from senior housing, independent living, and assisted living to memory care and respite care. At all of our locations, we provide a culture based on our core values. Providing our residents with opportunities for fulfilling intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual activities. We maintain supportive, joyful communities where residents can engage in sharing life’s experiences. Our goal is to nurture a sense of pride and common purpose among staff, board members, and volunteers.
