Jewish Senior Life Earns Quality Accreditation

Rochester, N.Y. August 19, 2015– Jewish Senior Life (JSL) has earned its second consecutive five-year CARF-CCAC accreditation from CARF International, an independent, nonprofit accrediting body of continuing care retirement communities and similar human services organizations.

Approximately 12 percent of long term care facilities in the nation are accredited as continuing care retirement communities by CARF International.

“This achievement is an indication of dedication and commitment to improving the quality of lives of persons served,” noted CARF International President and CEO Brian Boon, Ph.D. “Services, personnel and documentation clearly indicate an established pattern of practice
excellence.”

Jewish Senior Life successfully renewed its certification as a Continuing Care Retirement Community as well as Adult Day Health Care, Assisted Living, Person-Centered Long-Term Care and Person-Centered Dementia Care. Jewish Senior Life also received three-year certifications for its Weinberg Manson Transitional Care and Atkin Center Outpatient Rehabilitation programs.

“We’re very proud to be recognized by CARF for high quality medical care and for our commitment to person-centered care, for those of all faiths,” said Jewish Senior Life President and CEO Michael King. “Our mission since 1920 has been to help older adults thrive in an atmosphere of respect, compassion and individuality, and this accreditation affirms our achievements.”

Jewish Senior Life is the only senior care facility in Rochester to offer the full continuum of care all on one campus. Its Life Care program allows residents to pay a one-time entry fee to cover any future assisted living and long term care needs so that residents can enjoy the
full continuum of care, knowing that their costs will not change even if their needs require additional care services.
