Shmaya’s sheltered home is a step up for the lucky residents. They learn how to live a independent life, using their capabilities to the fullest. At the same time, they are mentored and accompanied along their journey, by caring and empathetic staff members. The residents have household responsibilities, keeping their home running smoothly and easily. They receive training in homecare, responsibility, group life and so on. The professional staff, social workers and apartment coordinators work together to ensure that the residents grow and progress on all levels. The mission of the housing project is to give every resident the ability and empowerment to live an independent life, make his own decisions and live comfortably in his own space.
