Our warmest congratulations to the glorious Iris Apfel on turning 100! Can you imagine anyone celebrating becoming a centenarian with more style? The New Jewish Home was honored to celebrate Iris Apfel in 2017 as an honoree at our Eight over Eighty Gala.

The New Jewish Home has a proud legacy of empowering older adults to live with purpose and enhanced well-being. We’ve been around since 1848 as one of the nation’s first nursing homes, and now serving older New Yorkers of all backgrounds through a portfolio of health care services, including post-acute care and rehabilitation, skilled nursing, adult day care, assisted living, and at-home care.

See how we continue to elevate health care for older adults through our Research Institute on Aging and our SkillSpring program (formerly known as Geriatrics Career Development program), which empower teens and young adults to begin careers in health care.
