Whether they have one facility or a bunch is merely a matter of scale. I don't think so. The difference in role I've been writing about may manifest as a size difference but it's more about intent. If you set out to open a retirement home so that your Jewish elderly will have a place to go, that's different from setting out to build and operate a commercial retirement home enterprise. You may open your retirement home to other religions for a variety of reasons. You may be be a good, caring person who is sensitive to the needs of all peoples, not just your own. You may need to include non-Jews to get the critical mass you need to make the retirement home viable. Your Jewish residents may have non-Jewish friends that they want to include. Or you may have a need to not appear to discriminate for legal or optical reasons. In such a case, any given Jewish-owned retirement home may appear the same as any given secular one for all practical purposes, but the religious group is playing a different role in the community. The former is a religious role; the latter is a commercial role.
