Sports and Wellness Complex, which houses a stateof-the-art
fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools
and gymnasium, and at a smaller, complementary
fitness area exclusively for residents.
“I like the fact that there’s such a variety of things
geared toward people our age, giving us choices
based on what we need and our capabilities,” says
Paul Werner, who is moving to the community from
Sunnyvale, Calif. “One of the classes I’m taking
through Stanford is stretching exercises, which will
be starting at the OFJCC on campus.”
Even as the only Jewish-sponsored senior living
community in the South Peninsula, Moldaw Family
Residences is perfect for people of all faiths.
“Moldaw Family Residences isn’t religiously
based, but it is culturally based,” says Israel. “We’ll
celebrate Jewish holidays, as well as other holidays,
because we have a diverse population. The OFJCC
will have classes for residents wanting to delve
more into the Jewish religion, whether it’s their
faith or not. Similarly, we have kosher dining
available, as well as our chef presenting dishes
from other cultures.”
The setting of Moldaw Family Residences is also
filled with opportunities to explore the Jewish
faith and its rich traditions, as a number of Jewish
organizations call the Taube Koret Campus home.
Campus design elements incorporate a color
scheme based on the Land of Israel, tile patterns
representing the 12 tribes of Israel, and gardens and
landscaping that are native to that country.
Ruth says one of the most important elements of
Moldaw Family Residences is that, while residents
have choices in all aspects of the community, they
also have a voice in what offerings develop around
the campus.
“When we first started the community’s design
and development, we asked ourselves what’s
best for seniors,” he explains. “Now our intent
is to implement programs and services that are
meaningful to residents’ lives. We want them to be
active participants in shaping its ongoing growth
and direction.”
Moldaw Family Residences has a variety of
apartment sizes and floor plans available, although
it continues to fill up quickly. For more information
on how this community fits your lifestyle and your
diverse interests, please call 650.433.3629. Private
tours of Moldaw Family Residences, located at East
Charleston and San Antonio roads in Palo Alto, are
available by appointment. Community information
is also available at www.899charleston.org.
