The Jewish Home of San Francisco is a not-for-profit, licensed skilled nursing facility and residential community specializing in programs, services, and care for older adults.

From our modest beginnings in 1871 as a residential center for twelve seniors, the Jewish Home has grown to a nine-acre comprehensive senior care center with five distinct buildings, serving more than 420 residents with diverse care needs, and providing rehabilitation services to numerous others seeking short-term care stays.

For 137 years, the Jewish Home has ensured that Bay Area elderly have always had a place to call home.
