About Us

• 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 region’s 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.
