Jewish Home Lifecare – proudly accredited by JCAHO

Jewish Home Lifecare’s campuses in the Bronx, Manhattan, Westchester and our Home Healthcare programs proudly fullfill the rigorus standards required for accrediation by The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and have earned the JCAHO “Gold Seal of Approval.”
