CJE SeniorLife’s mission of enhancing the lives of older adults is based on the Jewish values of respect, advocacy, compassion, intention, innovation, and accountability.
We know that a healthy spiritual life is the foundation of the well-being of older adults and their positive aging.
Guided by our Jewish values of respect, advocacy, compassion, intention, innovation, and accountability, we follow a holistic model in serving our older adults and their families, providing for the needs of the entire person—mind, body, and spirit.
