Libia Moliner, a resident of The New Jewish Home, turned 104 this year. She is the second oldest resident to have ever stayed in our facilities. Born in 1918 she has been through it all; numerous wars, global epidemics and technological advances. In 1950 Libia moved to New York City from Cuba. She has been a New Yorker for over 70 years.

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.
