River Garden Hebrew Home
rivergarden.org |  Case Statement
Since 1946, River Garden Hebrew Home has been a caring community providing service to older people. The primary mission of River Garden is to respond to long-term care needs in a residential setting while supporting all aspects of Jewish identity and activity. River Garden is also a leading provider of convalescent and short stay rehabilitative care. The availability of respite care, hospice care, adult day care and geriatric assessment/counseling makes River Garden a social service resource to the entire community.
Serving older people with Jewish needs was an original goal of the Ladies' Hebrew Sheltering Aid Society which was founded in 1922. With the purchase of land and a house in Riverside in 1946, River Garden Hebrew Home was founded. From the beginning the home served people with special Jewish needs as well as others with special care needs from the greater Jacksonville community. River Garden quickly developed into a model of excellence in long-term nursing home care. In 1955, 1963 and 1969, the Home was modernized and enlarged. In December of 1989, the home relocated to its present location in Mandarin. Situated on a beautiful 35 acre campus, the Home continues its rich tradition of excellence in care and service. A long-term commitment to excellence in care plus a variety of social, cultural religious and recreational programs help to make River Garden a Gold Seal Award winning community.
River Garden is fully licensed by the State of Florida and certified for participation in Medicare and Medicaid.
