Jah-Jireh Enters America!

[admin]

Exciting news! Check this out! There is new personal care and memory care home for aging and infirm Jehovah's Witnesses in Allentown Pennsylvania. It is a 501 (C)3 charitable organization with a board of directors and staff, including RN's, LPNs and CNA's that are all Jehovah's Witnesses looking after the needs of older and infirm Brothers and sisters. Currently there are 11 residents and can accommodate up to 40. The website is jjha.org.

Does anyone know where there is one in Canada? It stated they operated one here.

That's a really good idea. Hope they have facilities in every state. Sometimes the people aren't treated correctly in nursing facilities. With witnesses taking care of witnesses I know they will be treated fairly

They are a great idea and there are many good points about them. But there have also been and continue to be weaknesses in their standard of care at times. Some of the UK ones have been found to be operating below expected standards. http://www.cqc.org.uk/sites/default/files/new_reports/AAAC7117.pdf

There is a series of 6 videos on YouTube about the Jah-Jireh care homes.

The Care Quality Commission report referred to above dates from March 2015. Recommendations for improvement were made to be carried out by July 2015. A further inspection to follow up matters was carried out in October 2015. Noting the improvement, the new report can be seen here:

This relates to a different Jah-Jireh home than the one I linked to.

Thanks for clarification. Important to note that these are single instance reports.

This home has been inspected again by the Care Quality Commission recently. Improvement has been noted with some further work required.

I am currently working in Jah jireh Wigan as a nurse and i can only say that this is the best workplace I have ever been to. Nothing compared to a worldly home. The elderly brothers and sisters are well taken cared of. Some even who has been told has got months to live ends up living for years. One doctor even commented this is a greenhouse because they flourish. I have worked in 3 nursing homes so i have actual experiences of them. Sadly the CQC inspection does not reflect that.
