Sharon and I set up a meeting with a website company and Marty attended. In today’s world, people visit a website before they visit the actual place and I felt SGLC needed to really be showcased on our website. He has his hands in everything! My famous story with Marty was when I was chair. One thing about Marty is that he is involved in all aspects of SGLC. I always love seeing him and enjoy our lunches together to talk about the home and life. He wears his heart on his sleeve and that is what makes him the wonderful person he is. Marty is a loving and compassionate person.
I knew him from the community but really got to know him when I became a board member at SGLC Here are just some of the stories that exemplify his spirit and vision. That’s why we’re here.”ĭuring a 50-year career, you can imagine how many lives Marty Klein has touched. This is business that runs 24/7/365, and one where people’s lives depend upon it. Treat them the way you’d want your own mom or dad treated. That’s because Marty Klein gives 110 percent, and expects his staff to follow suit. “They ask, ‘oh you worked for Marty Klein? Enough said.’” “Other folks in the industry don’t even call for references if one of our staff members leaves here,” he noted. He’s quick with a compliment on how well employees are doing, and equally fast to point out something that is not up to his gold standard. Klein” whether speaking to him or about him he naturally commands that respect. The staff almost universally refers to him as “Mr. “I’ve been through just about everything you can think of.” That includes a fire at the Atlantic City location, numerous hurricanes, and a major move of residents to the new Galloway Township facility in 2002, and now a pandemic.” “I think someone up there is trying to challenge me,” he joked. They continually go the extra mile for their extended family at SGLC. It wasn’t unusual for Marty and Janice Klein to take up residence during storms or other emergencies to make sure that the residents are well cared for. They would mop floors, serve residents, and help out wherever they could.” My kids knew that if it snowed, they’d be working with me here. “Every other kid in the neighborhood was excited to get a snow day. Not only did his wife Janice eventually join the staff, but his children were a constant presence. SGLC became an integral part of his family life. He was a quick study and when his boss retired five years later, Marty easily transitioned into his role as Director. His new boss, Sid, wasn’t used to the assistance, and initially Marty had to take work off of his desk. He was 26 at the time, and brought with him a dedicated work ethic. It was the start of a lifelong career for Marty Klein. I called up the superintendent to tell him to get someone else because I couldn’t work without a certificate.” The Board of Education Office had received my certificate but simply filed it because they knew I was working at the old age home. “It was a close-knit community,” explained Marty, “and everyone knew what everyone else was doing. It might have been fate, but there was an unusual delay in obtaining those teaching credentials that decided the trajectory of his career.

See our full history here.It was to be a temporary position, to help out his neighbor, Sidney Rosenberg, director of the Home. The beloved tradition of enriching elder lives continues with the support of each new generation. In 2016, Seashore Gardens Living Center celebrated a century of caring. Seashore Gardens Living Center has become the example for other nursing homes, and we’ve received visitors from as far away as Japan hoping to duplicate what we’ve done in Galloway. We designed our beautiful Home to be family-friendly with a Boardwalk café, putting green, theater, and more to encourage visitors, and a home-like environment for residents.
We offer a continuum of services from assisted living to short and long term nursing care, Alzheimer’s care, respite care and rehabilitation all under one roof. Today we are on a 20-acre campus in Galloway, New Jersey. Over the years, we’ve grown in services and location. The Home provided kosher meals and temporary housing for the poor, but soon transitioned to serve a greater need to care for our elderly. At the time, we were known as the Hebrew Sheltering Home of Atlantic City. We started in 1916 in a small home in Atlantic City’s inlet section.
