When an older adult is recovery from a fall, the first few days or weeks in a skilled nursing facility is an underutilized time to review current prescriptions and make recommendations.

We're proud to be one of 42 sites participating in a study called PRISM (Prevention of Injury in Skilled Nursing Through Optimizing Medications) that seeks to uncover more effective ways to manage medications.

“This is more than a job for me...and if you care about healthcare, about seniors, about people, this is the place.”

We're shining a spotlight on two incredible staff members who first walked through our doors as volunteers. Turning their passion for selfless service into professional careers is just one example of how we are truly a community built on care. Hear their stories and see if this sounds like the place for you, too: https://vist.ly/4z9xj

We hosted 200+ volunteers and staff at this past weekend’s citywide emergency preparedness drill in partnership with San Francisco Fire Department Neighborhood Emergency Response Team and San Francisco Fire Department Neighborhood Emergency Response Team on the 120th anniversary of the Great 1906 Earthquake and Fire.

This five-hour intensive exercise ensures we’re organized and equipped should disaster strike our campus, while strengthening the broader community by enhancing preparedness, improving coordination, and reinforcing critical safety systems across the Bay Area.

A big thank you to KTVU Fox 2 for live-streaming the action-packed day.

We're pleased to announce an important update for The Campus Academy, a tuition-free, "earn-and-learn" Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program at SFCJL. As we approach the graduation ceremony for our inaugural class next week, we're also getting ready to expand. Initially focused on existing campus employees and their families, the program is now being broadened to reach individuals seeking meaningful entry into healthcare work, removing cost barriers while offering hands-on, real-world training in a senior living environment.

Although our Campus is a place of welcome for all, we are rooted in Jewish values that guide our community. Tonight, as we observe Holocaust Memorial Day (Yom HaShoah), we remember the six million lives lost and the heroism of those who endured. We honor their legacy by ensuring the next generation carries their light and resilience forward. We've been privileged to care for many survivors over the years, including the late Henry Estreicher, whose journey from having a secret Bar Mitzvah to experiencing liberation is remarkable.

Chag Sameach! Led by our very own Rabbi Gray, the JHRC Passover seder was filled with spring flowers, sweet blessings, and, of course, lots of matzah. We dipped, we sipped, and we retold the story of the Exodus from Egypt. Our dedicated Life Enrichment team and talented nutritional and dining services are always working behind the scenes to bring Jewish traditions to life for our residents.

“We want to change lives. Not just titles, or salaries, or people’s confidence, but their family’s future."

We’re setting our sights on the future of care with the Campus Academy, a new nurse training initiative. As the population over 85 is projected to exceed 14 million by 2040, SFCJL is ready to meet the need for a bigger workforce by starting at home.

Hear from Chief Nursing Officer Edwin Cabigao on how this tuition free, earn-and-learn program is his way of giving back to the community.
