Jah Jireh Homes of America-Allentown is the legal name of the non-profit entity that developed and operates Legacy Place Cottages at 2051 Bevin Dr, Allentown, PA. It is the result of the volunteer efforts of a group of witnesses who saw the need for a unique senior care facility for Jehovah’s Witnesses. They were inspired by and continue a warm association with Jah-Jireh Homes of Great Britian which was started over 30 years ago by a brother and his wife. We encourage you to explore their website: www.jah-jireh.org In the past 20 years several other groups of witnesses around the world have developed similar facilities.

We are not connected to the Branch or worldwide organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses. We receive no funding from the organization and are an independent non-profit.

In Pennsylvania, all personal care and memory care homes are private pay and we do not receive any government funding. In Pennsylvania, Medicaid, which is a government program designed to help financially qualified elderly with medical care, is not available at the personal care level. It can only be accessed in a skilled nursing facility. Legacy Place is not a skilled nursing facility.

Many of our brothers and sisters have devoted their lives to spiritual pursuits and do not have the funds to pay for a personal care environment. Most do not have adequate pensions to supplement social security benefits to cover the cost. Some did not have children to help them in their old age; many have depleted any savings they may have been able to accumulate. Others come to Legacy Place but eventually exhaust their funds and need help to stay.

Many special full time servants that were not at Bethel at retirement do not have the funds for needed care and do not wish to go to a Medicaid facility which does not offer spiritual support.

All donations are used to support the dear elderly brothers and sisters at Legacy Place.

Some of the ways are:

• Support of residents who are unable to pay the full cost of care
• Maintenance of the facilities to meet high standards of quality
• Purchase and maintenance of necessary equipment required for the care of the elderly
• Organizing events and activities to ensure that our dear older ones feel upbuilt and encouraged

In Pennsylvania, non-profit care homes are not permitted to accept designated donations. If you wish to offset the cost of occupancy for someone, however, it may be possible in other ways. Please contact the office for more information.
