Jewish Home history

In 1872, the Society purchased the site at Silver and Mission, constructing a rambling two-story wooden Victorian building.

The legacy of supporting older Jewish adults in Greater Cincinnati, began in 1883 and continues today as the Jewish Home of Cincinnati.

In 1891, the doors opened to 12 residents.

In 1908, the Texas Jewish Herald was established in Houston.

The 82-bed Koret Center was opened in 1984 to provide maximum medical and nursing care and rehabilitation.

In 1992, history was made when the two organizations merged to create the Jewish Home of Cincinnati, Inc., doing business as Cedar Village.

The Howard A. Friedman Pavilion, a 120-bed state-of-the-art skilled medical and nursing care facility, opened in 1995, providing specialized rehabilitative services, short-term and long-term care in a space defined by its soaring atriums and skylights.

Following a successful fundraising campaign led by the community’s philanthropic trail blazers, on March 16, 1997 history was made when 185 residents from Glen Manor and the Orthodox Jewish Home moved from Bond Hill to their new home in Mason, Cedar Village.

The Barbara & Richard Rosenberg Family Center opened in October 2006.

Although as of 2018, the Jewish Home of Cincinnati no longer owns the Cedar Village building (now called Majestic Care at Cedar Village), the Jewish Home of Cincinnati is committed to serve and impact Cincinnati area Jewish seniors wherever they reside.
