(Courtesy of Jewish Home Family) The Jewish Home Family in Rockleigh, New Jersey proudly announced that Marva Lawrence, CNA, has received the prestigious 2025 Excellence in Leadership Award from LeadingAge New Jersey & Delaware. This honor recognized her outstanding commitment to enhancing seniors’ lives, compassionate care and leadership.
Lawrence’s journey at Jewish Home Family began with a deep desire to make a difference. “When I first came to work here, I didn’t just start a job — I found a purpose,” she shared. For her, the workplace is more than a career, it’s a community. “It’s the smiles, the resilience of those we serve, and the way every team member comes together like family.”
Lawrence’s approach embodies Jewish Home Family’s mission to create a nurturing, supportive environment. Carol Silver Elliott, president and CEO, praised Lawrence’s impact: “Her dedication to our elders and ability to inspire truly make us a family.”
LeadingAge New Jersey & Delaware, a bistate association advancing nonprofit senior care, recognized Lawrence for her excellence in aging services. The Jewish Home Family joined them in celebrating her leadership in creating a compassionate world for older adults.
