The ILAN Haifa branch does not stop innovating - recently opened in Haifa "Shemarat Center" a rehabilitation center with a unique model that combines physical therapy and community treatment in groups and for individuals with physical-motor disabilities.
In the shadow of the war, the importance of a rehabilitation center in the community is emphasized for people who have been released from the medical center or have exhausted their eligibility for treatments in the health insurance funds and also for those who have been dealing for years with the need to build a restorative treatment routine to improve and preserve the range of movement and physical abilities due to the physical-motor limitation.

Sharona, manager of the Shamrat Center - Ilan Haifa branch, says:
We explored the issue of rehabilitation in the community in depth during tours, in conversations with patients and of course with professionals in the field. It turns out that the next link in rehabilitation, which is community rehabilitation, is a missing link. In the absence of a place to continue to preserve their achievements, their condition does not improve and there is even a noticeable decline in the ability to function physically. In addition, we realized that people who have gone through a traumatic event in their lives and their world has turned upside down, also experience 'aftershocks' in their private lives and remain alone with a severe feeling of abandonment. They want to be with their peers. Any of us may experience this.
The Shemarat Center offers a variety of services
Indeed, secondary life events, such as injuries/injuries and illnesses leave people with mild to severe physical mobility disabilities and now they must adapt to the new lifestyle. The Shemarat Center offers accompaniment and a variety of treatments to help them get back on track; A lawyer from the association's social services in Haifa accompanies and supports them and family members, such as the possibility of services at the Center for the Exploitation of Rights. The mode of activity and treatment allows for a social meeting, no less important, with the peer group.

Yeftah Madar, chief physiotherapist at the Shamrat Center, formerly a physiotherapist at Beit Levinstein explains:
The patients at the Shemarat Center come to a varied rehabilitation activity - cyclic training groups, therapeutic yoga and more, as well as to practice in small groups according to a personal training program adapted by a professional from the local staff. The rehabilitation package is offered at a much more affordable price than the costs of private treatments. Another advantage Intimate group therapy is the opportunity for real encounters between people.
The place is equipped with devices with advanced technologies and virtual reality in order to make the treatment experience enjoyable. Anyone who wants to improve their independent functioning with a physical limitation or preserve their movement abilities - a care center is ideal for them.
