Life at The Reutlinger Community
Located in Danville in the scenic East Bay Area, the
110,000-square-foot The Reutlinger Community provides comfortable
accommodations and personalized care for up to 180 seniors.
Staffed by seasoned specialists with decades of experience in
senior care and skilled nursing, we treat each resident as if
they are the most important person in the building. Couples with
different needs can remain together while their separate
requirements are met through The Reutlinger Community’s exclusive
“Continuum of Care” initiative that ensures that the community
adapts to residents’ needs rather than forcing residents to face
undue upheaval.
Newly renovated to better serve residents, The Reutlinger
Community currently offers room and board in specialized Assisted
Living, Enhanced Care, Memory Care and Rehabilitation.
Our Mission
The mission of The Reutlinger Community is to provide high
quality health care and social support services to seniors in a
life-enhancing and stimulating environment with a commitment to
Jewish values.

History – Celebrating 70 Years in 2020
The Reutlinger Community was founded 70 years ago in 1950 as the
Home for Jewish Parents, in Oakland, CA. Fifty years later, the
demand for expanded services in the East Bay resulted in one of
the largest and most successful capital campaigns in the history
of the region’s Jewish community. With large donations from the
Koret Foundation, the Jeanette and Harry Weinberg Foundation, Mr.
Jacques Reutlinger and many others, the Home for Jewish Parents
moved its campus to Danville and in 1999 became, under a DBA, The
Reutlinger Community for Jewish Living and in 2015 became The
Reutlinger Community.
From 2011 to 2016, The Reutlinger Community again began
undergoing a total transformation and renovation thanks to the
generosity of the Schiff and Polse families. A multi-million
dollar project, known as Renew Reutlinger, was started to create
a living space for residents that met 21st century expectations
of design, form and function.
The Renew Reutlinger initiative has entered into a new era
of care, comfort, and connection for the community’s residents
and families, providing a wide range of hospitality and health
care services.
The completion was celebrated on September 18, 2016 when the
community officially re-opened its doors to the future of senior
living.
Open Arms and Hearts
The Reutlinger Community is welcoming to all. We welcome all
residents with open arms and hearts – without discrimination as
to race, age, religion, sex, national origin, socioeconomic
status or disability. We welcome all LGBTQ seniors.
We are also part of the Keshet network, an organization that
works for the full equality of LGBTQ Jews and families in Jewish
life. Keshet envisions a world in which all LGBTQ Jews can live
with full equality, justice and dignity. We partnered with Keshet
because we believe it strengthens Jewish communities by equipping
Jewish organizations, like ours, with the skills and knowledge to
build LGBTQ-Affirming communities, and create spaces in which all
LGBTQ Jewish residents feel seen and valued.
