Music Therapy Enrichment Program
We are developing a music therapy program to help a great number of residents receive an increased amount of service specially designed to help them enhance their quality of life. Through the magic of music, residents who were thought to be unreachable will now be reunited with spouses and families through past music memories. We have recently received a financial endorsement from the prestigious Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation to support this important program.

The Dean-Ovesen Enchanted Garden
The Dean-Ovesen Enchanted Garden is the centerpiece of our new Pavilion. A tranquil oasis where residents and visitors can comfortably enjoy the outdoors, this haven of trees, graceful shrubs, plants and beautiful flowers virtually extends the living space of our residents. Through a tax-deductible gift today, you can make a lasting donation to help maintain and improve the garden in perpetuity. This can be a wonderful way to honor or remember a special person or event in your life. Help us bloom! CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS ON HOW TO HELP OUR GARDEN GROW.

Pet Therapy
Animals from the New Rochelle Human Society make frequent visits to United Hebrew. Residents are encouraged to pet, interact, and play with them. These interactions often result in the improved physical health and mental well-being of our residents.

Birthday Celebrations
Who doesn’t enjoy birthday cake and celebration? Your gift will underwrite special birthday luncheons for a resident and his or her family members so they may celebrate their milestone with music and dancing. This gift is so meaningful for it honors those individuals who are very dear to all of us – our residents!

Pastoral Care Program
Our Pastoral Caregivers provide our residents with a truly compassionate, personal presence in times when they feel isolated, fearful and angry. They work with our residents in numerous ways – with words of comfort, prayer, and poetry. Our Spiritual Healing Circle provides a collection of programs and services that foster health and healing for the mind, body and spirit through meditation and positive imagery.

Spa Days
We want our residents to feel spoiled and relaxed! Spa days will provide hands-on healing and care through gentle massage, aromatherapy and yoga - all designed to foster relaxation and rejuvenation and to reduce stress.


Video/DVD/CD Library
We are expanding our video/DVD/CD library to accommodate residents who wish to view special movies or reminisce through music.

Beautification Program
Flowers evoke positive emotions with their sight and smell. We beautify our halls and common living areas with floral arrangements and bouquets.
