Our Annual Sustaining Campaign for Montefiore and The Weils is well underway! The compassionate, high quality and innovative care we provide to our residents and patients is possible because of the generous support of our donors! Significant cuts in health care funding make it increasingly important for us to reach out to donors and friends to assist us in fulfilling our mission and continuing our commitment to excellence. Every gift, no matter the size, is a vote of confidence.
Please consider joining us as a donor to this year’s campaign. You can donate online or call The Montefiore Foundation at 216.910.2350 if you would like to make your contribution by phone.
Welcome to Montefiore!
For over 129 years, Montefiore has cared for Cleveland’s aging Jewish and general community. We continue to provide excellent and comprehensive care to individuals as they age and support to families. We offer a full continuum of care including post-hospital, rehabilitation therapies, skilled nursing, homecare, dementia, long-term nursing home care, assisted living, hospice and palliative services and outpatient therapy.
In 2007, Montefiore celebrated its 125th anniversary and completed a three year expansion and renovation project. This included the refurbishment of all resident rooms, new atrium, offices, Shabbat elevator, gardens, courtyard, children’s play areas, private family dining room, kitchen and wireless connections. The true jewel of the project is The Mandel Rehabilitation Pavilion and 67 bed Post-Hospital Care Center featuring Rehab Road™, an indoor simulated neighborhood to help relearn the activities of daily living.
In 2010, a specialty orthopedic annex was created. Due to its tremendous success, a second orthopedic annex was added in 2011. Also in 2011, a heart failure unit was completed to educate and advise heart patients and their families about cardiovascular disease. We also expanded our services with an at-home sleep apnea testing and therapy program, partnered with Philips Lifeline Medical Alert Service and offer monthly wheelchair clinics with Health Aid of Ohio. Montefiore also has therapists certified in
lymphedema management and a variety of other specialties including orthopedics, cardiac rehab, Myofascial Release,vestibular rehab and senior strength training for both inpatient and outpatient clients. In December of 2011, a transitional care suite for rehab patients was opened. The suite provides several amenities including a private bathroom with shower, dresser, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator to help patients ease into the transition from rehab to life at home. We also provide transportation services if you need assistance with running errands or getting to medical appointments. Transportation services are performed only with the patient’s own vehicle.
The Weils, an active senior living community in Chagrin Falls, is an esteemed addition to Montefiore’s continuum of care and is open to all faiths.
