From its very conception, Seven Acres was designed to provide a warm, caring and religious atmosphere for those in need of supportive care and senior living in Houston, Texas.
Seven Acres traces its historic beginnings to 1943 when leaders in the Houston Jewish community, recognizing the need for a home for the Jewish aged, purchased a small house on Branard Street that could accommodate 14 residents. With that early success came more demand and growth in the services and capacity Seven Acres could offer. In 1954, a new community on Chimney Rock Road opened its doors to welcome 31 residents. Three more expansions in five years increased the Houston senior home’s capacity to 98. In 1977, Seven Acres Jewish Home for the Aged cut the ribbons in celebration of a long-held vision – a multiservice community at 6200 N. Braeswood Boulevard, which remains our home to this day.
Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services is located on the Pauline Sterne Wolff Campus adjacent to The Medallion Jewish Assisted Living Residence. Building on decades of experience and elder care expertise, Seven Acres provides modern psycho-social and medical services to residents and senior clients living in our community.
We are the only Jewish nursing community serving kosher meals in the Texas Gulf Coast region. Seven Acres is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian,licensed and certified Medicaid, Medicare-accredited, and private-pay community. We warmly welcome people of all faiths and cultures.
