The Memphis Jewish Home & Rehab (MJHR,) a not-for-profit organization that provides care to people of all faiths who are seeking rehabilitation services and long-term care, has opened a $7.5-million, 24,000 square foot addition.
Named the Belz Family Foundations Rehabilitation Facility, the new addition is home to the Moss Rehab Gym, which is believed to be the largest rehab gym in the area. Built specifically with seniors in mind, it includes a multitude of features to help users in their physical, occupational, and speech therapy sessions. A walking track is inside the gym as well as three speech therapy rooms and three private treatment areas.
With help from several foundations and many individuals in the community, more than $7.7 million has been raised so far to build the facility and add needed equipment. Located on 77 acres in Cordova, the 92-year old MJHR cares for more than 1,000 seniors every year on a short and long term basis.
