The Joseph L. Morse Geriatric Center is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian long term care facility designed and dedicated to serving the elderly in Palm Beach County, Florida. The Center observes Jewish customs and traditions, including Kashruth. Residents admitted to this facility are rendered services without distinction to race, color, national origin, or handicapping conditions. All applicants must be at least sixteen (16) years of age.

This facility complies fully with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.

Morse Geriatric Center provides six levels of care for our residents. The facility does maintain a waiting list for admission. A general statement regarding the length of the waiting period cannot be given due to the many factors determining into which segment of the waiting list each individual is placed. Much consideration is given as to each applicant’s needs physically as well as emotionally to determine the proper level of care. It is the aim of the Center to provide quality care for all our residents. Also, the accommodations preferred by the resident, i.e. semi-private or private room, is a factor concerning the waiting period.

Room rates effective June 1, 2006 are as follows:

Semi-Private Room: $208.00 per day
Private Room: $247.00 per day

This room and board charge includes personal care items, routine medical supplies, routine over-the-counter medications, laundry, supportive devices and incontinency supplies. Expenses not covered are private telephone (if desired), beauty shop, gift shop, non-routine medical supplies, prescription drugs, and physician services.
