Beit Almog
Beit Almog, a nursing home on Kibbutz Givat Brenner, near the city of Rehovot.
In the last decade, dozens of nursing and retirement homes in kibbutzim throughout Israel have opened their doors to the public to help defray the high cost of caring for aging members.
Thousands of Israelis who have chosen to spend their twilight years on one of the country’s trademark collectives. Although they are not members, the kibbutz is their home.
The kibbutz offers basic accommodations; nursing homes are often situated in older, patchwork buildings that have undergone repeated renovations, and the décor is usually simple. Prices are reasonable, but not substantially less than the rest of the market, which ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 a month.
The spacious grounds and tranquil atmosphere draw outsiders. Even more of a factor is the sense that kibbutz nursing homes are more like family enterprises than businesses—a last bastion of caring and decency toward the elderly.
