1Title:  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.
