Since 1995, Weinberg Village proudly operates a residence that enriches seniors’ quality of life. We are dedicated to helping our residents enjoy the fullest, most active and meaningful lifestyle possible, while celebrating Jewish heritage, culture, traditions and values; including kosher meals. We welcome diversity and those from other faiths. We provide a community that combines the best of both worlds: the independence of a private apartment plus the comfort and security provided by a full time, experienced health and wellness team. Weinberg Village provides a warm, caring community and engaging programming and events.
