Our Culture Change Initiatives
Culture change is a “transformation anchored in values and beliefs that return control to elders and those who work closest with them.” Its ultimate vision is to create a culture of aging that is “life-affirming, satisfying, humane and meaningful.”
The William Breman Jewish Home began its Culture Change journey in 1995 when the present skilled nursing home and rehabilitation center was in its design phase. To learn more about our Culture Change initiatives, click here.
