Melabev Day Centers

The Melabev Day Centers’ approach, offering multi-lingual activities at various levels of cognition and physical abilities, is unique. Melabev’s professional experience of over 40 years and scientific research in the field show that a person with dementia tends to return to their mother tongue – the language of their childhood. When a person with cognitive decline loses the ability to communicate verbally, reading body language becomes critical. These signals are culture-dependent. Melabev’s day centers offer services in Hebrew (Pisgat Zeev, Givat Massua, Talpiot, and Beit Shemesh), Russian (Pisgat Zeev and Givat Massua), English (Talpiot and Beit Shemesh), French (Talpiot), and Arabic (Pisgat Zeev).

Participant Value

Melabev values and respects our day centers’ participants. The participants receive courteous and personal attention addressing their needs and abilities. Communication between the staff and the person is on an eye-to-eye level with great patience, tolerance, and respect. All activities occur in a familiar setting. To prevent cognitive confusion, everyone has their place, table, and chair in the same room daily, meaning that the therapeutic exercises come to the person instead of them going to the activities.
