The Jewish Home for the Elderly of Fairfield County

The Jewish Home for the Elderly has a good reputation. The therapy is very good.

My grandmother is very much enjoying the environment. The staff is incredibly friendly and treat her with respect. She enjoys being able to socialize with the other residents and enjoys the planned events and games. She has access to many types of food which she enjoys and the facility is easy for me and other members of my family to access to visit her. The staff was also able to respond to questions about the area when we were searching for somewhere to take her on her day out. After losing her husband, she has had trouble being happy and making friends, but we are confident that this facility has restored her confidence. We would easily recommend this facility to anyone looking for an assisted care facility. We looked at many before this, and while we were impressed with some, this one offered the most amenities to provide her with a comfortable and enjoyable life.

I would say that the facility has very clean and well maintained grounds and interior. The seniors are brought outside and assisted with moving around the facility very graciously. The food appeared adequate and the nurses were attentive. There seemed to be some difficulty regarding the loss of personal items from time to time in the rooms but it was not a significant complication. When I visited it was mother's day and the facility was hosting live music. The music was relatively good for the venue and my grandmother was very happy to be able to enjoy it with her family. The space each senior has seems a bit small to me but perhaps they place them based on mobility. My grandmother, being largely immobile, perhaps does not need a whole room to herself that may be why she is placed in a smaller room with a roommate. The room had a window that opened out into the lovely well maintained grounds and it catches the sunlight very well, so I imagine many of the other rooms do as well.

A SNF which provides dedicated, individualized thorough care for all of its residents/patients. JHF Elderly offers a safe, clean, supportive environment for all patients.Aides, nurses, social workers, medical personnel and administrators are attentive and very responsie. Highly recommend to fellow gcm's,caregivers and elder adults.Larry Segall
