Working Together to Help you be A.T. H.O.M.E. at Shalom Village

The key to Shalom Village's philosophy is our unique "AT HOME" approach to care. Our goal is to help our residents maintain their quality of life as they move home to Shalom. While a person might need some assistance with daily living, there are many life experiences that they have come to value, and we aim to provide opportunities for them to continue to participate in activities that have meaning to them. We believe that everyone should be able to live in a place where they are valued, live with dignity, and have the opportunity to remain a part of their community.

Providing the opportunity for the continuity of life interests, goals, values and relationships for individuals requiring long term care, supportive housing , respite or day program services within the context of Jewish culture, values and Kashruth.
