BENEFITING OUR COMMUNITY

Nestled in San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood on a nine-acre campus, the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (SFCJL) is a leading senior services organization in Northern California, providing a continuum of comprehensive care and social services to support older adults in San Francisco. From our founding in 1871 to our modern campus today, we proudly serve over 2,500 individuals annually. Previously known as "the Jewish Home," we continue to build and expand upon our legacy, deeply rooted in a heritage of compassionate support, and inspired by enduring Jewish values.

 

2025 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT

SFCJL collaborated with the San Francisco Health Improvement Partnership (SFHIP) to develop the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), which serves as a vital tool for identifying key health issues in the community and for guiding the work of healthcare organizations serving San Francisco. Required every three years under the Affordable Care Act and IRS regulations, the CHNA is also a cornerstone for public health accreditation and planning. SFCJL uses the results of the assessment to identify priorities in the care and services we provide.

The 2025 CHNA highlights the community’s continued need for access to care, behavioral health services, and economic security. The SFCJL Acute Geriatric Psychiatry Hospital Unit and our Skilled Nursing Facility, which provides short term rehabilitation and long term care, plays a vital role in addressing these needs, particularly for the growing population of older adults. SFCJL also remains committed to meeting the needs of the greater community especially as it pertains to economic security and the development of a workforce for the future.
