Jewish Healthcare Center (Worcester)

This campaign was unique in that for the first time, Worcester's non-Jewish residents were asked to contribute to a Jewish organization in the city.

[4][5] In 1932, the Home relocated to 1029 Pleasant Street where it was able to care for 14 children and 22 senior citizens following the successful building campaign.

[2] The current 141-bed facility at 629 Salisbury Street, an example of Brick Brutalist architecture, opened in February 1975 after another successful campaign raised $3.5 million.

[2] On May 3, 1998, ground was broken on land immediately adjacent to the Home on The Gery and Emil Eisenberg Assisted Living Residence, an 80-unit facility named for the parents of Denise Rich who donated $1 million.

[8] On April 29, 2014, JHC launched the "Namaste Care" program, a new holistic approach to end-of-life care for dementia patients in which they experience massage, familiar foods and music (via iPods) and other comforts in a soundproof room.
