Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation Where Excellence Is the Standard From its beginnings in 1907 as a shelter for homeless elderly, Parker Jewish Institute has evolved into an internationally recognized center of health care and rehabilitation for adults. Parker provides post-acute care/sub-acute care, short term rehabilitation, long term care, and a network of community health programs to more than 7,000 adults each year. The Institute is also among the regionβs leaders in the training of geriatric health care professionals as well as geriatric and gerontological research. An independent 527-bed, not-for-profit institution, Parker offers the most compassionate long-term care, distinguished by the highest levels of skilled nursing, comprehensive on-site medical services, and excellence in social work services, therapeutic recreation, and an on-site pharmacy. Parker is at the vanguard of patient-centered culture change and the introduction of new technology to long term care. In the mid 1980s, Parker was the pioneer in restorative therapy for older adults. Todayβs Parker is New Yorkβs single most active post-acute care/sub-acute care center for older adults. Its specialized rehabilitation programs serve adults recovering from the broad range of surgical procedures, stroke, amputation, injuries and illness. Some 1,300 men and women are discharged to home, family and community annually from the Instituteβs short term rehabilitation programs. An integral part of its comprehensive continuum of care, Parkerβs community health programs include adult day health care (a medical model), a social model Alzheimer day care center, long term home health care, and community hospice. These community health programs help adults avoid institutionalization and remain where they most want to be βin the comfort of their homes, in their communities, with their families and friends. In 1975, Parker established the first Geriatric Fellowship Program in the nation, and continues to be one of the leaders in the training of geriatric health care professionals and research. Parkerβs Nerken Center for Research and Grants is conducting studies related to Alzheimerβs disease and associated dementia, anemia, depression, flu, osteoporosis, Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension, palliative care, health information technology, and many other emerging issues of aging. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, managed care and many private insurance plans. For admissions and tours, please call 718-289-2163.
