Home Care Services
The Claims Conference provides home care services for elderly disabled Holocaust survivors in 47 countries around the world. Our network of partner organizations helps ensure that Holocaust survivors are treated with sensitivity and compassion and know they are not alone.
How We Help
Home care attendants provide personal care to Holocaust survivors in their homes to allow them to live at home for as long as possible. Home care includes help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and eating; administering medication; light housekeeping and cooking; and chores such as shopping.
Eliyau, 81, originally from Casablanca, Morocco, had been living in Sderot, Israel, until the terrorist attack on October 7th. Tragically, his son Avi was murdered in the attack and Eliyau had to be evacuated to Netanya for his safety. Today, he receives comprehensive home care services funded by a Claims Conference grant to the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel. His care includes both psychological support and medical assistance.
Semyon, 95, was born in the Zaporizhe region of Ukraine. During the Holocaust, he escaped to Stalingrad.
Today, Semyon lives in Dnipro, Ukraine where he receives home care, medical consultations, winter relief and participates in socialization programs, all through Hesed Menachem. These services are all provided through a grant from the Claims Conference.
