We act with integrity, uphold the highest ethical standards, and respect confidentiality. With compassion and collaboration, we build inclusive communities where no one feels alone, fostering open communication and partnerships that benefit our residents and the greater community. We hold ourselves accountable to those we serve, our donors, and each other while advocating for dignity, choice, and independence for older adults.
Jewish Senior Life (JSL) of Metropolitan Detroit traces its origins to 1907, when the Anshe Chesed Shel Emeth Society established the "Jewish Old Folks Home" to support elderly Jewish immigrants. Over the decades, JSL expanded its services and facilities, including creating the Jewish Home for the Aged and the Jewish Federation Apartments. In 2009, a merger between Jewish Home and Aging Services and Jewish Apartments and Services formed JSL, uniting their missions to provide comprehensive care for older adults. Today, JSL operates multiple residences across two campuses, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all while honoring Jewish traditions and embracing individuals of all backgrounds.
