This guide is a comprehensive resource for all, whether you are a newcomer to the Valley, a winter resident, an Arizona native or just visiting for the rst time.

elcome to the 2023 issue of the Jewish Community Directory, published by the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix. In this comprehensive guide of Central and Northern Arizona’s Jewish resources, you will ﬁnd essential information whether you are a member of our community for all of the year, part of the year or are just visiting.

The information inside will be of help if you’re searching for religious services, community agencies, education options, programs for youth, health care, Judaica, dining options and small businesses. This guide is updated annually but is meant to be a year-long resource with a variety of seasonal information including summer camps, Israel trips and music festivals.

Jewish News is more than 75 years old, and we look forward to many more years of providing local, national and international stories of interest to the community. JewishPhoenix.com, a sister program to the Jewish News, connects Arizona Jews to community organizations, upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, lifestyle content and much more.

The community has faced many challenges and changes in the last several years. Jewish News is no exception. Our parent organization, The Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Phoenix, integrated with the Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix to create the Center for Jewish Philanthropy of Greater Phoenix (CJP). CJP also launched JewishPhoenix.com, a sister program to the Jewish News, a site where visitors can easily connect to community organizations, ﬁnd upcoming events, discover volunteer opportunities, enjoy lifestyle content and much more.

Between these options — our print editions, JewishPhoenix.com and our website, JewishAZ.com we oﬀer the most comprehensive resources available to our expanding and diverse community. Though this directory is a massive undertaking for our small staﬀ, we are committed to providing the most accurate and extensive information. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have suggestions for improvements. We will do our best to incorporate your recommendations when designing next year’s issue.

e Jewish traditions related to death and mourning are intended to recognize death as a part of life. e traditions of preparing the body, sitting shiva (a seven-day period of mourning immediately after a funeral), saying Kaddish (prayer for the dead) and observing yahrzeit (anniversary of a death) provide a sense of structure at this di cult time of loss.

Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System AHCCCS azahcccs.gov

Arizona’s Medicaid agency, known as AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System), provides the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) for individuals who are 65 or older, blind or disabled and need ongoing services at a nursing facility level of care. However, program participants do not have to reside in a nursing home. AHCCCS (pronounced “access”) uses several contractors to provide long-term care services under ALTCS. An ALTCS contractor works like a health maintenance organization (HMO). e program contractor works with doctors, nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, hospitals, pharmacies, specialists, etc., to provide care. Each enrollee is assigned a case manager who will coordinate their care. Many ALTCS participants live in their own homes or an assisted-living facility and receive needed in-home services. To apply for longterm care, call or visit an Arizona Long Term Care System o ce.

RESIDENCES

Senior housing

Continuing Care

Retirement Communities)

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) o er residents the ability to “age

WELCOME TO LIFE PLAN COMMUNITY LIVING

in place” with the knowledge that they won’t need to move to other facilities for health reasons. Whereas most retirement communities o er independent living and assisted living only, Continuing Care Retirement Communities provide a continuum of care that includes independent and assisted living, secured Alzheimer’s care and skilled-nursing care. Each level of care is provided in a separate building and/or area of a campus and nearly all residents move into the community while living independently (without the need for assisted-living or skilled-nursing services).

Contracts

CCRCs may o er three basic types of contracts: life care (Type A), modi ed (Type B), and non-traditional (Type C). e primary di erence between the rst two is the amount of skilled-nursing care received, without a change in the monthly fee. In the third type, the resident is nancially responsible for all care.

Life Care Contracts

Type A

Life care contracts include unlimited enriched-housing/assisted-living care (if o ered by the community) and unlimited skilled-nursing-facility services, along with independent housing and residential services and amenities. e resident’s monthly fee

cannot change due to a change in the level of covered health care needed by the resident (except for normal operating costs and in ation adjustments).

Modi ed Contracts

Type B

Modi ed contracts include independent housing and residential services but include only a limited number of days in a skilled-nursing facility. e number of skilled-nursing days covered in a modi ed contract may vary, but the contract must include at least 60 days of skilled-nursingfacility coverage, exclusive of Medicare days. As in the life care contract, the resident’s monthly fee cannot change due to a change in the level of covered health care needed during the skilled-nursing-facility bene t period speci ed in the contract. Modi ed contracts may also include an enrichedhousing/assisted-living bene t (if this service is o ered by the community). If included in the contract, the resident’s monthly fee cannot change due to a need for enrichedhousing/assisted-living services during this covered bene t period. When the contract’s health-care-facility days have been exhausted, the resident must then pay a market or per diem rate if additional skilled-nursing-care days (or enriched-housing/assisted-living days) are needed.

Non traditional, fee for service contracts (Type C)

Non-traditional, fee-for-service continuingcare contracts include independent housing, residential amenities and social activities, and access to a continuum of long-termcare services. e long-term-care services, enriched-housing/assisted-living and skilled-nursing-facility care are available on a fee-for-service or per diem basis. ere is no long-term-care bene t included in the contract; the resident pays for long-term care if and when needed.

Senior housing

Assisted Living

Assisted living is an alternative to the CCRC independent-living concept. It is not appropriate for people who need 24-hour nursing care. Instead, assisted living is more of a philosophy of care that promotes the residents’ dignity. ese facilities provide supervision and assistance with activities of daily living, coordination of services by outside health-care providers and monitoring of resident activities that ensure their health, safety and well-being.

Senior housing

Skilled nursing Long term Care)

A nursing home is normally the highest level of care for older adults outside of a hospital. Nursing homes provide what is called custodial care and help with their activities of daily living, including getting in and out of bed, and providing assistance with feeding, bathing and dressing. However, nursing homes di er from other senior housing options in that they also provide a high level of medical care. A licensed physician supervises each patient’s care and a nurse or other medical professional is almost always on the premises. Skilled-nursing care is available on site, usually 24 hours a day. Other medical professionals, such as occupational or physical therapists, are also available. is allows the delivery of medical procedures and therapies on site that would not be possible in other housing. Skilled nursing is usually used to describe a Medicare stay for an acute medical condition, such as a broken hip or stroke. Once a resident has completed the therapy for standard recovery covered by Medicare, the resident either graduates and goes home or moves into long-term-care living at the nursing home.
