MENU

When the families of Ruth Katz and Ruth Webber made a generous contribution to JGS Lifecare, Ruth’s House Assisted Living came into being.

It is a welcoming, homelike residence for seniors of all faiths who value their independence but need assistance with day-to-day living activities. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds on the 23-acre JGS campus, Ruth’s House enables residents to live independently but with the support they need. They also have the option to easily transition into other programs or services.

CARE OPTIONS

Assisted Living

Each resident is offered an individualized care plan, with access to various levels of care. Care may include help with bathing, dressing and medication. Primary Care physician services are available on-site. A registered dietician is available to discuss your dietary needs. Residents enjoy private or companion suites that can be personalized. A life enrichment program is designed to promote physical, intellectual, and emotional well-being. Respite stays are also offered, providing accommodations when caregivers travel, individuals are recuperating from an illness, or simply want to discover the benefits of assisted living.

Memory Support Assisted Living

Ruth’s House Garden Level is a secure residence that meets those with memory loss where they are. The assisted living features a lively atmosphere with specialized activities that enable our residents to have “a successful day.” Our staff, certified in caring for those with memory loss, create a warm, secure, and interesting environment.

Throughout our residence you will see activities on the walls such as our innovative IN2L technology. All are designed to support those with memory loss. See how your loved one can thrive in our Garden Level!
