Ruth’s House is an assisted living residence for seniors who value their independence but may need assistance with day-to-day living activities.

"JGS Lifecare relies on the generosity of people to help us fulfill our promise to care for those facing the challenges of aging and rehabilitation. Thanks to your financial support, our residents, patients and clients from many different backgrounds live together and thrive in a nurturing, compassionate environment that meets their individual needs. We offers several ways to give. Please help keep JGS Lifecare that special place that they call home, and continue more than a century of honoring our mothers and fathers."
