Retiree Day Programs

Israel Elwyn’s Retiree Programs provide services for seniors with disabilities who are interested in full or partial retirement from the job market. We offer these individuals opportunities for community volunteerism and participation in day programs that enable them a rich social life and the development of new areas of interest.

Retirees enjoy social interaction with their peers and a range of adapted physical, cognitive, emotional and enrichment activities that suit their age-sensitive needs. The activities consist of study groups and expressive and creative therapies that include autobiographical writing, computer lessons, and more.

Additionally, medical services, professional therapies, and individual plans provide support in delaying the onset or progress of age-related diseases and promote quality of life.

Target Population

Seniors with disabilities aged 50 and over interested in full or partial retirement from the job market.

Referring Organizations

The Ministry of Welfare and Social Affairs via local municipal authorities.
