| Description: | The Association of Aid to the Elderly was founded 21 years ago and The Frankforter Center for the Elderly, a day care center, was established. The primary aim of the Association was to help the Elderly of Jerusalem who do not live at golden age homes by providing services to help them live out the remainder of their days with honor and self-respect. The building was renovated with this purpose in mind, with the aid of the Frankforter family from Paris. Beit Frankforter-Jerusalem Day Center for the Elderly, has developed over the years and is now recognized by local authorities as an example of excellence of services and of employment for the Elderly. The Center is recognized both by universities here and abroad as contributing much to improve the situation of the aged. Unlike many centers for the aged Beit Frankforter provides a comprehensive service to both the independent-mobile aged and to the frail elderly. The Center continues to function with the help of contributions from donors and the fact that most workers are either volunteers or semi-volunteers. No employee receives a full wage. These factors contribute to the uniqueness of Beit Frankforter. Over the years Beit Frankforter has become an important home-from-home for hundreds of elderly providing a place which has developed many new projects for their benefit. Today, several hundred independent elderly take advantage of the facilities and services offered. In addition a special wing, The Gideon Center for the Frail Elderly, exists for post C.V.A. patients, and other age-related ailments including a memory-enhancement wing. Pre-pensioners have their own meetings in preparations for retirement. |
