Continuous Monitoring and Care

Regular personal reviews are held for every resident. Discussions are guided by a psychologist and social worker in the presence of other staff and a family representative.

Current treatment is evaluated and, where necessary, modified to suit the residents' needs. Psychologists regularly present case studies to professional staff for 'brain storming' sessions in order to adapt treatment for difficult cases.

As a result of an appeal run by The Jerusalem Post, we now have a specially adapted car for transporting residents in their wheelchairs.

Finally, the recent renovation of the cafeteria provides a congenial environment for residents to enjoy themselves and meet with parents and staff.

The Friends of Neve Menashe:

The Friends of Neve Menashe was founded by a small group of concerned people who care about improving the welfare and living conditions of the mentally handicapped. By helping the residents, the Friends of Neve Menashe also offers support and encouragement to the staff in their wonderful work with a much-neglected part of our community.

Our Doors are Always Open:

Take time to visit us in Israel. If you could see a caregiver talking tenderly, naturally, and patiently with an adult whose mental skills are those of a five-year old, you would understand the importance of even the smallest contribution.

Make a donation, become a friend, earmark a sum for a specific project. You will be reaching out to men and women whom fate has left defenseless.

Your assistance can make a huge difference.
