Independence … Through Taste.
Dining and meals are some of the most enriching experiences in our lives. Breaking bread together is a symbol of togetherness and community, which is why a restaurant-quality meal can be a simple yet complex joy of life. As we are close to Washington, D.C. and all its cultural influences, we understand that residents desire and crave a dining experience that is as delicious and unique as it is nutritious. That’s why the dining experiences you’ll discover at CESLC rival what you’d find at a five-star restaurant.
Our entire culinary team is focused on providing optimal health and well-being to residents so they can feel and be well … allowing them to be as independent as possible for as long as possible. Our onsite dietitian collaborates with our restaurant team to design kosher, delicious, and healthy menus that meet residents’ nutritional needs and also provide opportunities for community and caring. Every meal is truly an experience to savor.
Independence … Through Location.
Being located near a hub of culture, taste, and class makes independence that much easier and enjoyable. CESLC is located near Washington DC, making it easy for residents to access the acclaimed dining, performance centers, and cultural attractions of our nation’s capital. Sure, we provide plenty of opportunities to live life to the fullest on our campus, but we also make it easy as pie for residents to explore all the opportunities of the community in which they live.
Independence … Through Jewish Values.
Our community was founded in 1910 when a core group recognized the need to feed, support, house, and uplift older members of the Jewish community. That small organization and mission developed into a philosophy of empathetic care that has been rooted in Jewish tradition and values for the past 100 years.
Independence … Through Making the Most of Each Day.
All of us want the same things out of life, no matter how old or young we are.
As Vice President of Business Development and Marketing for Charles E. Smith Life Communities, I am proud and honored to play a part in creating a community where residents live healthy, independent lifestyles no matter how their health needs might fluctuate. Experience matters when it comes to providing the best possible support for our elders, and that is what we strive to accomplish each day.
Our independent lifestyle stems from our century-old mission, vision, and rich tradition to provide compassionate care and meaningful life experiences to provide our elders with dignity and empathy that’s rooted in our Jewish values. It’s a philosophy exemplified throughout our community, from the deep and caring relationships we form with residents and their families to the lasting contributions we make to our community at large.
At Charles E. Smith Life Communities, we provide so many ways to embrace health, wellness, and independence for residents. From a focus on health and wellness, through a range of services that allow residents to retain their individuality and independence while receiving enhanced services that are attentive to their changing needs – we’re reinventing the way that independence is viewed for our community as well as the senior living establishment at large.
We understand that life shouldn’t just be experienced – it should be lived to the fullest. That means providing residents with independence and the opportunity to enjoy every aspect of life, from physical wellness to lifelong learning to enrichment programs and more. Charles E. Smith Life Communities focuses on independence in the Jewish tradition to provide a well-lived life for all who choose us as their home.
