B’nai B’rith Retirement Villages joins JCA
B’NAI B’rith Retirement Villages (BBRV) has joined the JCA (formerly the Jewish Communal Appeal) to help work collaboratively with other organisations in the community.
B’NAI B’rith Retirement Villages (BBRV) has joined the JCA (formerly the Jewish Communal Appeal) to help work collaboratively with other organisations in the community.
The JCA’s board of governors voted unanimously last Monday night to make BBRV the organisation’s 22nd constituent.
“This means that we are a part of the group of services within the JCA that is delivering services to seniors and it is very important that we all work together,” BBRV chairman Henry Wirth said.
“We are not seeking any funding from the JCA because the predominant driver for us over the last 18 months, while we have been applying for membership, has been working more effectively within the community.”
Although BBRV will not seek funding, by becoming a JCA member they are entitled to apply for capital appeals in the future.
They can also get help sourcing volunteers and guidance for future planning decisions.
The BBRV has two villages, Kadimah Gardens in Wahroonga and Princess Gardens in Rose Bay, with a total of 103 units for independent living.
An additional apartment near the Princess Gardens site was also recently purchased to house a resident with a mental disability.
JCA chief executive Ian Sandler said that BBRV is an active part of the aged care landscape for the Jewish community. “They are a vital sector in the community with their retirement villages and as you can see from the Gateway NSW website, they have already been involved with, and worked with, the JCA,” Sandler said.
“They are a solid organisation that is financially strong with good corporate governance.
“Now that they are under the JCA tent that can add to our planning around the aged care sector.”
