Overview of Hebrew Home of Greater Washington

Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn

Hebrew Home of Greater Washington provides nursing home and skilled nursing care in Rockville, MD. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, and a doctor is on staff for physician care within the community.

The community offers rehabilitation, short-term rehabilitation, and respite care. Short-term rehabilitation supports a temporary recovery stay, while respite care provides a brief stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs time away or recovery.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover care. Residents may keep pets, use the beauty salon, dental clinics, podiatry care, and banking services, and receive kosher meals that accommodate special diets.

Religious services and rehabilitation services are available on site. The combination of ongoing nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and respite care may suit someone who needs nursing support, a temporary recovery stay, or a brief placement while a caregiver is away.
