| | Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland Records
| | | | Creator: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1957-1978 | | | | Abstract: | The Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland, previously known as the Jewish Convalescent Hospital, was established in Cleveland, Ohio, through the combined resources of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society (later known as the Jewish Chronic Relief Society) and the Bikur Cholim Sick Relief Society, and with the cooperation of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Cleveland and Mount Sinai Hospital. Founded in 1937, the nineteen bed facility was located at 18810 Harvard Rd., and met the needs of tubercular patients who were released from the Warrensville Sanatorium and the City Hospital. The hospital expanded in the 1950s, and with the decrease in tuberculosis, began to serve the chronically ill. In 1967, the name was changed to the Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland, reflecting new services provided. In 1979, the facility was sold to a proprietary nursing home operator. The collection consists of administrative records including annual reports, Board of Trustees rosters, constitutions, correspondence, and a patient care policy manual. | | | | Call #: | MS 4693 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center of Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Hospitals, Convalescent -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Rehabilitation centers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Health facilities -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Tuberculosis -- Hospitals -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Chronically ill -- Institutional care -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

The first foundation in the United States to deal primarily with the needs of the elderly, the Benjamin Rose Institute worked initially to keep the aged in their communities and avert their institutionalization. The Institute developed a national reputation for geriatric standards, care and research under Margaret Wagner, director from 1930-1959. The Benjamin Rose Hospital was opened in 1953 and operated jointly with University Hospitals of Cleveland (Ohio) specializing in old age rehabilitation and health care. The Institute presently runs the Margaret Wagner House, a nursing home. The collection consists of administrative files, files pertaining to the Areawide Model Project on Aging (a federal demonstration project involving elderly care at the Riverview and Cedar housing estates in Cleveland, Ohio), files on group psychotherapy for the aged, files on old age and nursing homes (e.g. Margaret Wagner House), subject files, and individual case files. | | | | Call #: | MS 4492 | | | | Extent: | 16.40 linear feet (17 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Benjamin Rose Institute -- Archives. | Cedar Housing Estates (Cleveland, Ohio) | Riverview Housing Estates (Cleveland, Ohio) | Geriatrics -- Endowments -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Home care -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Health and hygiene -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Case studies. | Aged -- Mental health -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aged -- Services for -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Social group work -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Community health services for the aged -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Chronically ill -- Institutional care -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Old age -- Research. | Old age homes -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Nursing homes -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Nursing home patients -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Case studies. | Social work with older people -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
