Exceptional care is more than simply providing clinical services.

As health care professionals and caregivers, we all strive to respect and respond to the religious and cultural needs of the individuals in our care. This challenge is difficult when a caregiver is unfamiliar with the religious and cultural requirements of a specific religion or culture.

The Art of Jewish Caregiving Video Series is an invaluable tool for hospitals, health care facilities, Jewish communal agencies,  hospice and home health agencies serving Jewish individuals.

The Jewish Home & Aging Services offers a one-day retreat every Fall for health care professionals. Recognizing, respecting and maintaining religious and cultural sensitivity in a health care facility is a challenge, we all strive to meet. Spend a day with us broadening your horizons and developing the understanding needed to enhance the spiritual and cultural needs of the Jewish individual in your care. This one-day retreat is designed to address the unique needs of Jewish older adults in the hospital setting or living in a care facility.

The topics addressed include: The Diversity of the Jewish Culture, the Jewish Sabbath,  Jewish Holidays, Jewish Dietary Needs, Jewish Customs and Traditions Related to Death and Dying, and Nourishing the Jewish Soul. A panel discussion explores successful techniques to address the emotional, spiritual and dietary needs of Jewish older adults. The remainder of the day focuses on learning to recognize and meet the special needs of the Holocaust survivor. Following a guided tour of the Holocaust Memorial Center, a Holocaust survivor will share her personal story and a clinical psychologist will discuss issues unique to Holocaust survivors in a health care setting.
