卡罗琳•克莱恩•加兰德疗养院 (Caroline Kline Galland Home) 坐落于西雅图东南部的苏域柏公园 (Seward Park) 附近，是专为犹太裔老年人服务的专业私人疗养院。90 多年来，西雅图的犹太裔社区孜孜不倦地为该疗养院举办各种筹资募款活动，以支持其为犹太裔老年人提供更好的服务。修建疗养院的首笔资金来自 Caroline Rosenberg Kline Galland (1841-1907) 的遗赠。1914 年，疗养院正式建成开放，当时有 7 位老人入住。实际上，已有大批人员等候入住，但市区划分令限制扩大规模，直到疗养院的法律顾问向美国最高法院提起上诉，并最终赢得诉讼，才使情况得以改 观。1930 年，一栋新的大楼拔地而起，之后又在此基础上进行了扩建。该栋大楼于 1967 年退出历史舞台，被同年投入使用的新楼所取代。在此之后的岁月里，这座大楼又不断扩建，而 Kline Galland 计划也更加深入人心。2011 年，卡罗琳•克莱恩•加兰德疗养院已能够为 205 位老人提供服务。
