Specialized Holocaust Survivor Care in Natick, Newton & Surrounding Boston Areas

Eighty years have passed since the Holocaust, yet its survivors continue to feel its lasting effects. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics in Israel, there were 147,199 Holocaust survivors in 2022, a number that continues to decline. In the United States, The Claims Conference estimated the survivor count had fallen to 50,000 that same year.

The majority of Holocaust survivors are now over 80 years old and face complex physical, emotional, and mental health challenges. Many experience long-term effects, including:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Chronic physical conditions

Holocaust survivors embody resilience, having endured unimaginable trauma and loss. At Ezra Home Care, we honor their strength by providing specialized Holocaust survivor care in Greater Boston, including Natick, Newton, and surrounding areas. Our caregivers are trained to meet the unique needs of survivors, ensuring comfort, dignity, and respect.

Understanding the Holocaust and Our Mission for Survivors

The Holocaust (1941-1945) was a systematic genocide led by Nazi Germany, resulting in the murder of six million Jews. The trauma from this dark period still affects survivors, impacting their overall well-being and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my caregiver understand and respect my background and experiences?

Yes. We understand how sensitive your situation is and we pride ourselves in ensuring our caregivers are culturally and historically aware. This is why we only choose caregivers that we would trust to take care of our own loved ones.

What if I experience triggers or flashbacks related to my past trauma?

Our caregivers are trained in recognizing and responding to these situations with patience, compassion and understanding. Be rest assured that we would match you with someone that fully understands why you might experience them and navigate through it.

How can I maintain my independence while receiving the care I need?

At Ezra Home Care, we  understand you don’t want to be treated like a child but an independent person. This is why we encourage active participation in decision-making, and support your continued engagement in activities you enjoy.

What if I only need help for an hour or two?

No problem. At Ezra Home Care, we have no minimum hour requirements.

If I already live in an assisted living community, can I still use your services?

Absolutely. Many of our clients need more care than an assisted living community can provide but do not want to live in a nursing home. As long as your community approves, we can supplement your care services so that you can remain as independent as possible.

What if I’ve already moved into a nursing home, but still want services that Ezra Home Care offers?

We are happy to assist you no matter where you live. If you find that you’d like a companion to talk to, an escort to an appointment or any type of assistance beyond your nursing home’s services, we are there for you.

Ezra Home Care is a “private pay” service. What does that mean?

Private pay means that services are paid for using personal income or assets—without aid from insurance or government benefits. We would be happy to discuss pricing details with you directly.

Are there any other ways to pay for private home care services?

Yes, there are other available options:
  • Long term care insurance
  • Reverse mortgages
  • Veterans Administrations
  • Workman’s Compensation
  • State and local programs, community organizations
  • Viatical Settlement

Why choose Ezra Home Care over a franchise?

Ezra Home Care is large enough to handle all of your home care needs, yet small enough to give you the personalized service and care you deserve. Since Ezra Home Care is privately owned, we have a greater flexibility of accommodating our clients' needs. We are not bound by territory, and are capable of providing continued care even when our clients are being relocated to another areas. Our decision-making process is more efficient than that of a franchise because all of our decisions are made right in the office, without the need for a comparatively lengthy corporate approval process. Schedule a free Needs and Safety Assessment and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
