Melabev is a unique non-profit organization in Israel that provides a range of high-quality services in the community for individuals who are living with various forms of dementia. For persons who are experiencing cognitive impairment, studies show the importance of maintaining mental, verbal, and physical activity. This can ensure their quality of life while helping the person feel they are still an essential part of their family and community. Melabev’s day centers address these concerns and provide each person with a specialized program per their level of cognition, thereby enabling them to age in place. Melabev offers support programs for family caregivers proving advice, giving practical help, and most of all, being a “listening ear or shoulder to cry on.”
