San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living

Founded in 1871 as the Hebrew Home for Aged and Disabled and previously referred to as the “Jewish Home”, the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (SFCJL) has a long and storied history of providing high-quality care to the community’s most vulnerable older adults. Guided by the values and principles of the Jewish tradition, our mission is to enrich the lives of older adults from all faiths and backgrounds.

Situated in the city’s Excelsior neighborhood on a state-of-the-art, nine-acre campus, SFCJL includes the 191-unit Frank Residences assisted living and memory care (open since 2020), and the 375-bed Jewish Home and Rehabilitation Center (JHRC), which has the distinction of being the largest, private, nonprofit distinct-part skilled nursing facility in the state of California. Additionally, our campus includes a short-term acute psychiatric unit, unique for its specialization in mental healthcare for older adults (200 served annually). All combined, SFCJL serves a vibrant and diverse population of more than 2,500 patients and residents annually.
