About The New Jewish Home
Careers at The New Jewish Home
Caring People are the Heart and Soul of What We Do
The New Jewish Home has cared for older New Yorkers since 1848. Throughout the years, it has been our staff of compassionate, dedicated senior care professionals who have made this a special place.
The New Jewish Home is one of the few nonprofit geriatric healthcare systems in the country that has an established research institute. Our team is exploring ways to make eldercare more effective, both for older adults in New York and around the world. The Research Institute on Aging has a multidisciplinary research team consisting of physicians and psychologists.
The New Jewish Home provides a supportive environment for diversity and is committed to promoting the changing face of aging.
Call it the wrinkling of the American population: in the next 30 years the number of people 65 and older will double to 80 million, but these wrinkles will be anything but uniform. The face of aging is changing as the elderly population in the U.S. becomes more racially, ethnically and socially diverse.
Consider this:
- Currently, 1 of 5 older Americans are members of a racial or ethnic minority. By 2030, this number is projected to total almost 1 in 3.
- By 2050, Latinos are projected to make up 20% of those 65 and older.
- Nearly 12% of seniors are separated or divorced, almost three times as many as in 1970.
- And by 2030 the number of LGBT elders will double to over four million.
- There will be a projected 200% increase in the Asian and Pacific Islander populations during the next few decades.
The challenge for those who care for elders is how to evolve along with the changing face of aging. The Jewish Home legacy of person-centered care is an anchor for an approach to caring for a more diverse population. But beyond recognizing the needs of each individual, there are implications for staff training and development, and evolution of activities offered, languages used, food served, and particularly the assumptions we make about the lives and families of the elders we serve.
Jewish Home is preparing for and adapting to the changing face of aging. From staff diversity initiatives to the provision of communication services for those with hearing loss or other disabilities to all-staff training to make our facilities LGBT welcoming (please read our LGBT FAQ) to offering telehealth devices with dialogues in many languages, Jewish Home is committed to being on the forefront of the changing face of aging.
