In
1936, a group of people got together for the purpose of organizing a
convalescent home. The official founding of the Jewish Convalescent Home
Society was November 1 of that year.
In 1942, a large cottage was purchased on Pall Mall Road at Wylie
Avenue. This home rapidly expanded from six beds to an 82-bed facility.
On June 1, 1958, the new building was dedicated.
On October 27, 1980, the Jewish Convalescent opened its doors on Scotts
Level Road. The new center was capable of accommodating 150 residents.
In November 1993, the home celebrated the completion of a $2.5 million
renovation project.
Jewish Convalescent came together with Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center
and Hospital in 2000. Both are now part of LifeBridge Health, one of
the largest, most comprehensive providers of health service in the
Northwest Baltimore area, which also includes Sinai Hospital and Northwest Hospital.
In April of 2009, Jewish Convalscent was renamed Courtland Gardens
Nursing & Rehabilitation Center to better reflect the change in our
admission policy to include non-Jewish residents.
Courtland Garden's Jewish residents continue to share in the traditions
of living a Jewish lifestyle, as residents of all faiths do with their
heritgages.
Courtland Gardens is the only skilled, nonprofit, kosher nursing home in Baltimore County. We have 151 beds.
