A SUMMER VACATION IN CLEVELAND…AT THE WEILS!
I’d like to tell you about my mother’s vacation this past summer. She is 91. Mom left her Bayonne, New Jersey home for a happy retirement in Boca Raton back in 1981. Since moving to Florida, her golden rule has been that she would travel to visit the kids and grandkids, only if the sun was shining where they lived and the temperature was at least 70 degrees.

The Rehabilitation Pavilion at The Weils Recognized by U.S. News & World Report in 2012 Best Nursing Homes
The Rehabilitation Pavilion at The Weils in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, has been named to the 2012 Honor Roll in U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Nursing Homes. U.S. News’s Best Nursing Homes recognizes top-rated homes in
all 50 states and offers important guidance to families and healthcare providers caring for people in need of a nursing home.
The U.S. News Honor Roll highlights 39 nursing homes with perfect performance ratings over the past year. The Rehabilitation Pavilion at The Weils is the only Ohio facility to receive this honor as a nursing and rehabilitation therapy facility which offers post-hospital care after surgery, injury or illness.
U.S. News’s evaluation of nursing homes is based on data from Nursing Home Compare, a consumer website run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The government agency sets and enforces standards for nursing homes (defined as facilities or portions of facilities enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid that provide 24-hour nursing care and other medical services). Homes earn an overall rating of one to five stars in each of three underlying categories: health inspections, nurse staffing and quality of care.
“We are thrilled to receive this notable distinction,” says Ella Barney, administrator for The Weils and The Rehabilitation Pavilion at The Weils. “We pride ourselves on the dedication and expertise of our clinical staff who work tirelessly to ensure that the needs of our patients are met on a daily basis. Our continuum of care campus offers assisted living services, memory care, post-hospital care, long-term care and outpatient therapies.”

THE WAITING LIST AT THE WEILS

If you, your friends, or your parent or another relative have been wondering what assisted living feels like, it makes sense to come by now for a tour.

Message from Rabbi Joel Chazin
THE SOLDIER ISRAEL WOULD NOT LEAVE BEHIND
Although Israel is paying an extraordinary price for Gilad Shalit, releasing over 1,000
Palestinian prisoners, many of them hardened killers, it marks the end of five years of agony and returns Israel to one of its core values: never to abandon one of its sons in the field of warfare.
