HAREL
HAREL, which in Hebrew means "G-d's Mountain," began in 1975 for seniors who still desire an independent lifestyle without the burdens of living alone. HAREL is a Jewish independent housing facility consisting of private studio apartments clustered within a common living space designed to integrate the individual into a group environment. This arrangement provides residents with comfort, security and supervision that help foster and maintain independence. All HAREL members are encouraged to become involved in the varied group social activities available.
HAREL is located at 110 Vose Avenue in South Orange. The location is convenient to synagogues, shopping, library and other community services.
Eligibility Applicants must be at least 62 years of age, ambulatory (with or without assistance), mentally oriented, emotionally adjusted and independent in daily living tasks such as dressing, bathing, self-administration of medication and other personal care functions. Applicants must have a personal physician and be approved based on a personal interview. Applicants are expected to pay the full program cost.
In the event that the HAREL group living is no longer appropriate for a resident, an automatic application is forwarded to Daughters of Israel Social Service department. If the individual chooses another nursing facility, our professional staff will also assist in this process.
Facilities and Staff HAREL maintains four suites of six studio apartments and is located within a senior housing building. Each apartment is unfurnished to allow for personal taste, decoration and comfort. Apartments contain individual heating and air-conditioning units, private bathrooms, and ample closet space.
For protection and security, there are "grab rails" in all bathrooms and corridors, emergency 24-hour call bells in bedrooms and bathrooms, and an intercom buzzer system, which connects each apartment with the main entrance.
Services Provided · Three Kosher meals daily · Weekly housekeeping services, including bed linens and towels · Social services for support, individual and family counseling, and referrals to other community resources. · Medication reminders when necessary · Social activities and Jewish cultural and holiday programs
