Graduation Celebrated the Next Generation of Certified Nursing Assistants Entering New York’s Healthcare Workforce

SkillSpring helps connect young people to careers that allow them to stay in New York and build dignified lives while strengthening the workforce that cares for our aging population.

Dementia is a growing concern for older adults and families alike. While there is no guaranteed way to prevent dementia entirely, research continues to show that everyday lifestyle choices can play a meaningful role in supporting brain health and potentially delaying cognitive decline.

At The New Jewish Home, we believe that caring for the brain is just as important as caring for the body and that consistent changes over time can make a real difference.

The decision to move into assisted living or a nursing home is an important one, made with care, concern, and love. While the transition can bring peace of mind, it can also raise questions for families and friends who want to remain involved and connected to their loved ones. At The New Jewish Home, we believe strong, ongoing social relationships play a vital role in helping older adults feel truly at home in assisted living or a nursing home.

For many older adults and their families, Adult Day Health Care programs offer the perfect balance of independence, community, and professional support. It’s a place where participants can connect, stay active, and receive essential medical care, all in a warm, welcoming environment. At The New Jewish Home, every day in our Adult Day Health Care is filled with purpose, engagement, and compassion.

Think games are just for kids? Think again. Research shows group games for older adults are essential to healthy aging, increasing happiness and life satisfaction, while reducing loneliness and distress. That’s why games and recreation are a big part of life at The New Jewish Home, at both our skilled nursing care and housing locations, as well as in our adult day programs in Manhattan and the Bronx.

Read on to learn how older adults can get in the game—and why they should.

New York City is more than skyscrapers and subways; it is a melting pot of neighborhoods, history, and the arts with people who make every borough come alive. For older adults, participating in local cultural events not only sparks joy but also enriches the heart and mind. 

There’s something timeless about sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying a great movie. For older adults, films can do more than entertain; they can spark memories, inspire new conversations, and create joyful moments with family and friends. At The New Jewish Home, we recognize that movies can be a powerful means of connecting across generations and celebrating the beauty of life.

At The New Jewish Home, a lifelong caregiver finds exactly what she needs to heal: expert rehabilitation, human connection, and a place to call home.
