Skalet Pavillion
Scheduled to open in spring 2009

Our New Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

We are dedicated to meeting the growing demand of the senior population and to continue to provide the competitive quality and innovative services that our families depend upon. We are nearing completion of the renovation and modernization of the Lola and Saul Kramer Pavilion and the construction of the Lucile and Joseph Skalet Pavilion.

This $56 million renovation and construction project will propel United Hebrew into the future with a state-of-the-art nursing facility to better serve the senior population of Westchester County and the neighboring areas. This project reflects our dedication to caring for our seniors, their changing needs, and to providing the most appropriate types of programs and services.

We are proud to announce that the Campaign for the 21st Century was recently awarded a $1,500,000 challenge grant from the nationally renowned Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation. United Hebrew must raise matching gifts of $1,500,000 to take full advantage of the Weinberg Foundation’s generosity. This means that the value of every donation made toward our Campaign before July 2009 will be doubled. With this “gold seal of approval” from a foundation so highly regarded in the philanthropic arena, we have much to be proud of.

We are proud to present these unique and innovative features in our new world-class nursing facility:

  • Private resident rooms with private bathrooms for privacy and choice

Naming Opportunities

There are many ways for you to perpetuate the honor of a family name, the good works of an individual, or the memory of a loved one:

  • Dedications
  • Endowments
  • Memorials

The Skalet Pavilion offers many opportunities for naming a room, a center or a special place of honor. Please contact Grace Ferri, Director of Development, at (914) 632-2804, x190 to discuss.
