ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
Founded in 1912, the Los Angeles Jewish Home for the Aging (the Home) works to provide excellence in senior care reflective of Jewish values. Today, the Home serves 1,500 seniors in residential programs (Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Rehabilitation Services, and Acute Psychiatric Treatment) across three campuses. It serves an additional 2,500 seniors annually through community-based programs that include a medical clinic, hospice, palliative care, PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) and senior day care.
GRANT PURPOSE
To launch the Home’s first-ever telehealth program. The program will significantly reduce barriers to care, improve overall care, reduce costs, enable access to more specialists, and keep patients and caregivers safer during and after the pandemic has passed.
