Day Care Centers Today, MELABEV operates eight
day care centers and memory clubs for the cognitively
and memory impaired, located in several neighborhoods
throughout the capital. Our empathic professionals
and volunteers work with them offering a rich,
innovative program of social and therapeutic
activities.The program is designed to exercise
the members remaining strengths, enhance their
sense of well-being and restore their self-respect.
We re-design adult activities, that were familiar
to our elderly in their former lives, to match
their present level of functioning, while retaining
their dignity.
Some of the specialized activities offered in
the clubs are: art therapy, dance therapy, music
therapy, physical therapy, horticulture therapy,
pet therapy, computer lessons, cooking activities,
intergenerational connections, parties, trips
and so much more. MELABEV's highly professional
staff understand that the participants need
to feel appreciated as distinct individuals
still able to use their remaining skills. The
club members have a reason to get up in the
morning, with a familiar place to go and friends
to see. Roundtrip transportation is provided
from most Jerusalem neighborhoods as well as
a mid-morning snack and a hot lunch meal. |
