Dear friends,
As I reflect on this past year at the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living, I’m reminded that our greatest achievements are not measured by numbers but rather by moments.
From the healing care at the Jewish Home and Rehab Center to the vibrant community at Frank Residences, our campus is a rich mosaic of life experiences. Residents braid round challahs for Rosh Hashanah and cheer for their favorite chef at our latke contest. They attend spirited poetry readings, listen to live jazz music, roll up their sleeves to bring colorful murals to life, and plant herbs for the kitchen. Our intergenerational programs bring laughter to our halls and enrich the lives of both older adults and teens.
Our staff provides support for the profound, quieter moments with compassion and empathy. Offering solace to a family member after a loved one’s passing, a calming hand to steady nerves during rehab therapy, or watching a face light up at the sight of a cherished dish from childhood.
As programs grow and evolve, we embrace both the beauty and challenges of aging, understanding that community and connection are at the heart of every experience. We provide innovative programs for those with memory loss, celebrate diverse traditions, and guide individuals and their families through new life chapters that balance independence with personalized support.
Above all, we focus on bringing dignity, purpose, and joy to those in our care every single day.
I am proud to share this report, which reflects what you make possible through your generosity. Every gift helps carry forward the values we embody: excellence, community, and compassion. With your partnership, we can ensure this campus prospers for future generations.
Thank you for your trust and support and for being an integral part of our community.
With gratitude,
How Innovation Deepens Compassion
We’re all familiar with the saying, “To truly understand, walk a day in my shoes.” At SFCJL, we’re putting that idea into practice—giving our team powerful tools to connect more deeply with the lived experiences of our residents and patients.
One such tool is a groundbreaking virtual reality training program developed by Embodied Labs. By seeing and hearing the world through the perspective of individuals with dementia or other cognitive impairments, staff gain new insight into the daily challenges of aging and disability. “This experience builds empathy and provides valuable insights to enhance the care our team members provide,” explains Amanda Eckford, Senior Recruiter and leader of the initial training sessions. “It’s not just about understanding—it’s about transforming that understanding into compassionate action.”
This innovative approach is just one part of our broader commitment to advancing dementia support. Our Memory Care Experience Station uses sensory engagement—touch, scent, sound, sight, and taste—to help reduce anxiety, agitation, and depression. And programs like our Dinner Party spark meaningful connections through food, tapping into personal memories and evoking joy.
By combining technology, creativity, and heart, we’re building stronger bonds and delivering more responsive, thoughtful care.
Whole-Person Healing
SFCJL’s Acute Psychiatric Unit (APU) founded in 2008 is one of only two centers in the Bay Area specializing in the mental health of seniors aged 55 and older. Our APU staff are uniquely multidisciplinary, integrating physical and mental well-being into every patient’s plan of care. “We really do try to treat the whole person,” said Dr. Stephen Hall, APU Medical Director.
Every person admitted to the unit receives internal medicine, social work, dietary, physical, and occupational therapy evaluations. Three times a week, the entire treatment team convenes to discuss the needs and progress of every patient in their care. It’s a level of attention and focus on individual needs that leads to extraordinary outcomes.
“It’s remarkable to see somebody who’s in a wheelchair, very depressed, socially isolated, withdrawn, not eating, and not talking much,” Hall said, “to be able to leave the hospital three weeks later, feeling upbeat, walking, making eye contact, talking, and eating well.”
Redefining Normal and Challenging our Ageist Beliefs
As CEO of the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living, Dr. Adrienne Green brings together medical expertise and Jewish values to champion dignity and high-quality support for older adults. Her approach is grounded in both evidence-based care and a deep respect for elders.
That vision was tested when Dr. Green’s 85-year-old father asked, “Where do the normal people live?” referring to assisted living. His friend added, “We don’t eat in the dining room. It’s for people with walkers.” Their remarks echoed a stigma Dr. Green sees too often—the belief that mobility aids or memory loss make someone less whole. Yet, the reality is that most adults over 85 face mobility issues, and many experience hearing loss or cognitive changes.
It’s time to shift the narrative. Rather than seeing aging as decline, we can view it as an opportunity to support independence through the right tools and compassionate care. From exercise and mobility programs to cutting-edge dementia therapies and memory- supportive environments, SFCJL offers spaces where older adults thrive. Each day, residents connect over meals, engage in the arts, study Torah, and support one another through life’s challenges. These moments reflect not only the success of holistic care, but the heart of a community where aging is embraced—and valued as the gift it truly is.
The Dinner Party Where Memories Are Served
For centuries, sharing a meal has been a powerful way to connect. At SFCJL, we’ve reimagined this tradition, combining food, memory, and storytelling in a meaningful new way.
In collaboration with the UCSF Global Brain Health Institute, our team worked with two Atlantic Fellows to explore how food can unlock cherished memories. Over the course of two weeks, the fellows joined five residents in the kitchen, helping them recreate recipes tied to pivotal moments from their past.
The project culminated in a heartwarming Dinner Party event, where residents shared the personal stories behind the dishes they had prepared. Designed specifically for individuals living with dementia, this initiative taps into the sensory and emotional power of food to bring forgotten memories back to life. Through intimate interviews, residents shared the emotions tied to each dish, while our culinary team meticulously brought their recipes—and their stories—to life.
Partners in Purpose
Caring for older adults is a community effort and we are fortunate to collaborate with extraordinary partners who uplift the lives of our residents and patients—and in turn, find their own lives enriched through these connections.
For more than 40 years, the San Francisco SPCA’s Animal Assisted Therapy program has brought weekly visits from furry companions, offering the kind of comfort and delight that only animals can provide.
Our Jewish and Spiritual Life programs are strengthened through partnerships with Brandeis School of San Francisco, Congregation Emanu-El, Peninsula Temple Beth-El, and Jewish Family and Children’s Services. Together, they help create meaningful intergenerational connections—including Brandeis 8th graders who have volunteered nearly every Shabbat for the past five years.
We’re also proud to serve as a career launching pad for hundreds of local students each year through partnerships with Enterprise for Youth, ACHIEVE, and the Career Pathways Program at John O’Connell High School. Through internships, service projects, and hands-on learning, these students build valuable career skills—and lasting relationships with our residents and staff.
“Some lessons that I’ve taken away from this experience include gratitude for the healthcare system and its workers, and especially a newfound appreciation for those who care for the elderly. It’s given me experience working with patients, which will be invaluable if I pursue a healthcare career. It’s also given me a new perspective on my own health and independence, helping me cherish my own capabilities and mobility as they are now. I’ve had time to reflect on how we age and the blessing of having a supportive community during this time.”
– Melina C., Enterprise for Youth Volunteer
From Bedsides to Bright Futures
At the Jewish Home and Rehab Center, compassion and connection fuel everything we do. Physicians, therapists, nurses, case managers, and healthcare professionals work as a seamless team, serving thousands of patients each year in both short-term rehab and long-term care.
“In short-term rehab, we form deep bonds because we’re guiding people through some of the hardest moments of their lives. We become their biggest cheerleaders,” says Inna Budovsky, Executive Director of Rehab Operations. “In long-term care, it’s different but just as meaningful—we become part of their extended family, learning their stories, celebrating their milestones, and sharing their lives.”
This commitment to personal, high-quality care leads to extraordinary success stories like Laura’s. After a traumatic brain injury, Laura arrived needing full assistance for even the simplest tasks. Through expert therapies and consistent encouragement from her care team, she relearned how to get out of bed, walk, eat, and care for herself.
Today, Laura continues to thrive, a testament to her resilience and the support of her caregivers.
A Healing Journey
Dr. John Watson, one of eight children raised in the Ida B. Wells housing project on Chicago’s South Side, has always met life’s challenges with remarkable resilience. John earned a doctorate in biochemistry and built a distinguished career as a scientist, educator, and Associate Dean at UCSF. Alongside his equally accomplished wife, Valerie, the two have spent a lifetime defying odds with grace, strength, and perseverance.
But after a serious medical crisis, John faced one of his greatest hurdles yet. Valerie, carrying the emotional weight of finding the right place for his recovery, was determined not to settle for a facility that didn’t meet their high standards. A trusted doctor recommended SFCJL—and it changed everything. “When John arrived and saw his room with the big windows and the trees outside, he smiled for the first time in weeks,” Valerie recalled. “It felt like a miracle.”
During his three-week stay, John received expert and compassionate care that transformed his recovery. He returned home stronger, healthier, and no longer diabetic. Today, the Watsons are back to their routines, full of hope and humor.
“The medical people did a lot of work to learn about me, always making sure I had my medicine on time… The physical therapy people, the occupational people, they all took fabulous care of me. And it just felt… first class. They spoiled me. And I’d come here again in a heartbeat.”
– John M., Rehab patient

Barbara Cohen Rosenberg
1932–2024
Barbara was a passionate and dedicated trustee and board chair of the Jewish Home and Rehab Center (JHRC), steering it through a surge in Jewish emigration from the former Soviet Union in the mid-90s. As board president, she ensured trustees arrived an hour early for meetings to visit with residents, emphasizing their commitment to the people they cared for.
Years prior, her mother and mother-in-law both found comfort at the JHRC in their final years, leaving an indelible mark on her. Together with her late husband, Dick Rosenberg, she generously supported the organization throughout her lifetime. In 2006, she and Dick, accompanied by three generations of their family, inaugurated SFCJL’s Rosenberg Family Center. Following Jewish tradition, two of her grandsons placed the mezuzot that still adorn the building’s doorways.
Barbara is profoundly missed; may her memory be a blessing.
