United Hatzalah - Ten Kavod

United Hatzalah established the Ten Kavod program in 2012, in response to the many incidents of elder neglect reported by volunteer medics. 
United Hatzalah’s Ten Kavod (Care with Dignity) program is unique in its volunteer-based approach to providing a cost-free dependable holistic medical and social solution for Holocaust survivors and other elderly in Israel, living alone in the community. Through free weekly wellness visits to elderly by trained volunteers, the Ten Kavod program secures the health of countless vulnerable Israelis.
Trained volunteers try to recognize symptoms of dementia, injury, and poor nutrition.
