Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab a Jewish Senior Life Community

Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab, a Jewish Senior Life Community, formerly called the Jewish Home of Eastern Pennsylvania, is a 145 bed nonprofit, faith-based and short-term/long-term care community.

Founded in 1916, Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab is a warm and inviting senior community that has earned a reputation as the Region's premier provider of short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care, specializing in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's care.

In 2023, The Bridge at Elan, our state of the art short-term rehab unit, with a 6 chair dialysis den opened. Services on this unit are tailored to the needs of those with serious illness, injury, or post-surgical care needs who require rehabilitation therapy and/or nursing care to convalesce before returning home. 

Having a dialysis unit in our building is a first for our area, and is a significant benefit to our residents, eliminating the need to travel outside of the building for their dialysis treatments.

Please support our 2025 NEPA Gives campaign! This year, we are raising funds to provide our beloved residents with Joy For All Companion Pets—innovative robotic pets that have been proven to reduce loneliness and social isolation while enhancing mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Your generosity will bring comfort and joy to those in our care. General donations to support resident enrichment are also greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU so much for supporting Elan Skilled Nursing and Rehab by helping to enrich the lives of our residents!
