Abstract:
Jewish nursing homes are in the throes of a series of death spirals — government cutbacks of Medicaid funding, outmoded buildings that thwart the provision of quality care, location in declining neighborhoods, and a lack of close ties with the families of their residents and with the federation. These spirals interact to threaten the existence of Jewish Homes.
