This center provides all the necessary services required for independent living.  They employ caregivers who attend to the elders' personal needs, enabling them to participate in a range of social and cultural activities.

Funds are being requested is to provide transportation for the elders attending the day care center.  They are totally dependant on transportation, as their functional abilities decline. The major challenge therefore is, to bring the service users to the actual service.  Without transportation, CLICK can't fulfill its' mission, since it is unable to bring the elders to the needed service.

These elders are taken by transportation to the Beith Yakinton Community Day Center for Disabled Aged. They can then participate in vital services maintaining active independent living which are provided in this center such as nursing service, hairdresser and pedicure, catered hot meals, washing service for clothes, meals on wheels, social work counseling, social, cultural and educational activities. Caregivers are employed to provide basic assistance to help bath, feed and dress the elderly, so that they can participate in the range of activities provided by the professional staff and volunteers. 

Activities: Handicrafts, Exercise Class, Lectures, Hebrew Class, Trips, Torah Reading, Student Group, Cross Generation Projects with Local Schools, Walking Group, Community Theater, Current Affairs, Community Garden, Marthon Walks and Computer Education

Sports Coordinator for the Aged -

CLICK believes that the more services are provided to the elderly in their own community, the more they remain an integral, essential and active part of that community. Vital services maintaining active independent living are therefore provided in the day care center for the disabled, such as catered hot meals, counseling and social and educational activities. Caregivers are employed to bath, feed and dress the elderly, so that they can participate in a range of social and cultural activities provided by the center during the day.  Most are reached by organized transportation to and from the center, which prevents many elderly from feeling lonesome, depressed, displaced and basically cut off from their community. 

Though elated to finally be at home where family and friends could initially visit, those visits tended to diminish over time. Hanna longed for her friends at the CLICK center.  She missed the activity and company and was becoming increasingly lonely and bored.

Hanna's mental health and mood consequently deteriorated, until she received a visit from CLICK'S executive director whom organized transportation to bring Hanna, in her wheel chair, to the center on a weekly basis.

On her first visit Hanna's face suddenly started to light up. Meeting her friends again made her feel needed, appreciated and cared for. Hanna once again had something to do, something to keep herself occupied with, people with whom to talk to, as well as looking forward to her next visit.

“My house was neglected and I am happy that someone thought to help me”. The CLICK non-profit organization, Haim Sha’abi, a building contractor, and the students at the Naamat High School, renovated the house of a Holocaust survivor, a resident of Hod-Hasharon, who attends the day care center for the disabled.

Volunteers from CLICK, in participation with the Na’amat High School and Haim Sha’abi, who donated the material, decided to help one of the elderly citizens of Hod Hasharon, who attends the day center for the disabled run by CLICK, to renovate his house. They all arrived there together to paint the walls and build new kitchen shelves.  This is not the first time that CLICK volunteered to help elders remain in their local community. Hi tech volunteers, together with CLICK’S volunteers, painted the day care center for the disabled aged in the Gil Amal neighborhood.

The aged man, whose house was renovated, preferred to remain anonymous, “I thank all the people who came to help me. Not long ago my mother and sister passed away. The three of us are holocaust survivors and I remained alone in the house, without family. If I could, I would have renovated the house on my own, but I am crippled and it is difficult for me to walk. My house was neglected and I am happy that someone decided to help me”.
