Charles E. Smith Life Communities (CESLC) is a nonprofit aging services organization based in Rockville, Maryland, established in 1910 as the Hebrew Home for the Aged. The organization operates on a 38-acre campus and serves more than 1,100 older adults daily across a range of living arrangements and care levels, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term care, rehabilitation, and outpatient medical services. CESLC also provides in-home care through its private-duty home care agency and offers education, advocacy, and temporary shelter to safeguard seniors from abuse through its ElderSAFE Center, supported by on-site medical staff with broad aging expertise. The campus features multiple residences designed to address diverse needs, from Ring House and Revitz House for independent living to Cohen-Rosen House for memory care and Hebrew Home of Greater Washington along with Wasserman and Smith-Kogod Residences for long-term care, complemented by rehabilitation and outpatient services at the Post-Acute Care Center and Hirsh Health Center. In recent years the organization has received recognitions in the elder care field and announced leadership changes at its annual meetings, reflecting ongoing activity and program development within its nonprofit mission.
