Process of entering a retirement home in Israel

Evaluate the ability of the elderly person to carry out the acts of daily life alone. In Israel, the ADL test (Activities of Daily Living) is used for this purpose. It consists of evaluating the degree of autonomy of the elderly person through 6 criteria: - His ability to get up and sit alone, wash himself alone, dress himself, eat alone, his continence, his mobility inside and outside. Make sure that the chosen institution is (for Bate Avot) approved by the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs (Misrad Habriout ve Arva'ha). This means that the establishment is in conformity with the requirements of the Ministry, for example in the commercial field, human resources, equipment, etc. Check the legal contract between the two parties The Resident (Dayar) and the Residence (Diyour) or the Retirement Home (Beit Avot). FOR THIS REASON, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU SEEK LEGAL ADVICE OR A LAWYER.

The contract must detail the composition and qualification of the team. There must be a regulation of the Admission Committee. This committee must include the director, the doctor, the social worker and the nurse in charge. It is the committee that approves the admission of the resident. In addition to the qualifications of the staff, the contract must also detail the equipment, the services that are included in the basket of services and the additional services that are payable in addition. It is also necessary to verify that the establishment is insured for its civil liability (a'hriyoute). The contract must also include - a clause on the basic duties ('hovot a'haloute 'al beit avot) of the residence (in addition to those of the resident), the violation of which would result in a breach of the contract, - a clause on the possibility of the resident's departure if he wants to change residence without financial consequences.
