Melabev

Melabev provides community care for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Melabev was established by the late Professor Arnold Rosin, who for years ran the geriatric department at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, and Leah Abramowitz, MSW. Together they identified the unmet needs of people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. They subsequently formulated a unique professional method of treating people with dementia in the community. Inspired by them, Melabev has continued to develop services over the years, including Melabev Day Centers, “Melabev At Home,” Melabev Nursing care Services, and Melabev “Peima,” for young people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Melabev is still one of the only organizations in Israel providing community care to people with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Since its inception, Melabev specializes in improving the quality of life of older adults and in providing services for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s, of all ages. Every year, thousands of people coping with dementia and Alzheimer’s, as well as their families and relatives, receive a wide range of Melabev services.
