Materials, information, and activities for professionals serving the elderly

Due to the spread of the corona virus and the fact that most of its casualties are 60+, there is a wealth of knowledge and material that can help you in this new reality.
These materials include information about the illness, information for caregivers and assisting bodies, information about volunteer organizations, tips for caring for people with dementia, activities to do with the elderly who are confined to their homes during the crisis or because of situations that require physical and cognitive conservation.
Some of these materials are accessible in Russian, Arabic and English.
We are currently working on producing additional materials, and we will update them here in the database in the coming days.
