Since its inception in 1907 as a shelter for 25 indigent men and women, Parker Jewish Institute has evolved into a nationally recognized 527-bed, non-profit center for the health care and rehabilitation of adults, and a comprehensive network of community health care programs for adults. The Institute is a leading academic campus for the training of health care professionals, and an important research center for studies related to aging. Parker is a partner in AgeWell New York, a New York State authorized managed long term care plan and a Medicare advantage plan, dedicated to delivering the level and scope of care needed to feel well and live well at home.

2018 Highlights In May
we joined forces with Eldergrow to launch our new horticultural therapy offering. Dubbing it the “Eldergrow Garden Program,” Parker is aiming to bring the benefits of the outdoors into our senior care facility. The mobile garden will be available year-round, with Eldergrow educators teaching courses to residents, and building relationships through ongoing “enrichment classes” tied to horticulture, culinary learning and gardening art.
In April,
Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation was honored and humbled to accept a beloved gift of a Torah. Dedicated from the Raab Family, on behalf and in memory of the late Rabbi Robert A. Raab. The Torah was brought from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where it was used at Temple Adath Israel. Rabbi Robert A. Raab passed away in 2010 and served as head of the Suburban Temple in Wantagh, for 36 years. His legacy was remembered as Dr. Marjorie Raab, her son Joel Raab, family, and friends shared stories/ memories, about the Torah and the late Rabbi Raab. On behalf of the entire Parker family, we are grateful and thankful to Dr. Marjorie Raab and her family, for their gift and kindness.

2018 Highlights In June,
Michael N. Rosenblut, President and CEO of Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation, received the 2018 Humanitarian Award at the New York Board of Rabbis (NYBR) Annual Humanitarian Awards reception on Monday, June 11, 2018, at The Hotel Edison, New York City.
Parker’s Associate Board held their annual vendor appreciation event. It was a night filled with food and drinks to show our appreciation to our outstanding vendors!
In August,
Additionally, in June, Parker launched a Volunteer Hospice Doula program that provides emotional support and comfort to people who are approaching their final days. “Doula” is a Greek word that means “woman servant or caregiver.” Today it is associated with individuals who provide physical assistance and emotional support during and/or after childbirth. This program aims to mirror the concept by providing the same type of support at the final phase of a terminal illness. This initiative places a focus on planning for death with the elderly patient and family and provides continuous vigil as death becomes imminent. The program helps the elderly patients die comfortably, without fear of being alone.
10 | 2018 ANNUAL REPORT
Parker held their annual Senior Olympics! Patients and residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves as they competed in several fun games such as shave the balloons and wheelchair racing. We also held our Ice Cream Social in August. Parker staff got to enjoy a cold snack break during the hot summer month. We are grateful to our generous Past Chairman of the Board, Jerry Landsberg, and his wife, Gloria Landsberg, for making this event possible each year.

2018 Highlights We opened a new eighth floor, 6-bed Palliative Care Unit, dedicated to providing relief from the symptoms and stress of debilitating and serious illnesses. Parker’s program expands our existing palliative services and delivers unit-based, coordinated care to patients with advanced pain treatments and expert management of disease symptoms, with the goal of improving their quality of life. The new unit was made possible by a grant from the UJAFederation of New York.
