The Moldaw Family Residences at 899 Charleston has 193 maintenance-free modern and private residences scattered throughout several buildings on the Taube Koret Campus for Jewish Life.
But the senior living facility has something else to brag about: It’s the first and only Jewish-sponsored senior living community in the south Peninsula area.
Now open at East Charleston and San Antonio roads in southern Palo Alto, the Moldaw Family Residences enables seniors to make connections with those outside of their own generation thanks to its location on the Taube Koret Campus.
“Older adults we talk to about Moldaw Family Residences are excited about the maintenance-free lifestyle of a senior living community,” said Daniel Ruth, president and CEO of Moldaw Family Residences and of the Jewish Home of San Francisco, the sponsor and developer of Moldaw Family Residences.
“But they also want to make sure they are not being segregated with only people in their own age group. These seniors want to live in a vibrant neighborhood filled with daily interactions between those of all ages — staying engaged, sharing life experiences and contributing to the community as leaders, volunteers and mentors.”
The campus’ neighborhood design will foster opportunities for older adults to engage with individuals of all ages as they participate in activities and organizations on the campus.
The ability to have multi-generational connections did not happen by accident.
“We took that principle to heart in designing and developing our multi-generational campus approach,” Ruth said.
Residents will enjoy services and amenities such as fine and casual restaurant-style dining, a private dining room available for entertaining, a fireside lounge, concierge services, housekeeping and linen services, underground valet parking, scheduled transportation and a beauty salon.
They also will receive complimentary membership to the new Oshman Family JCC.
“Between what Moldaw Family Residences offers and their membership to the OFJCC, residents will have an unparalleled array of resources just outside their door to enhance the physical, social, cultural and spiritual aspects of their life,” said Ruth. “All those elements are proven to help older adults live happier and healthier lives.”
As a continuing care retirement community, Moldaw Family Residences will support access for residents’ future health care, if ever needed.
Personalized assisted-living services will be available, and the community will include memory support suites. Residents will also have priority access to skilled nursing care through affiliation with the Jewish Home of San Francisco.
