Manpower Care is a leading caregiver agency providing long-term home care, senior care and nursing care in Israel. We carefully match caregivers to families, guide you through the National Insurance (Bituach Leumi) long-term care benefit, and stay involved long after care begins.
With over 30 years of experience in Israel and more than 6,000 active caregivers speaking a wide variety of languages, we are here to support your family.

This page is our English overview. The detailed service pages linked throughout are in Hebrew. Our phone lines are answered 24/7, so giving us a call is usually the fastest way to get the answers you need.
Families usually reach out to us during a challenging time. Whether a parent has just returned home from the hospital, or everyday tasks have simply become too difficult to manage alone, our first step is to listen and assess what kind of support is truly needed.
Caregivers help with personal needs like washing and dressing, mobility, meal preparation, medication reminders, and light housework. But good care is also about connection. Having someone there to talk to, and someone to help your parent stay active and engaged, can make a meaningful difference in their daily wellbeing.
Care can range from a few hours a week to a full-time live-in arrangement, and it can easily be adjusted as your needs change. We regularly review your care plan to make sure it continues to be the right fit for your family. You can read more on our home care and full services pages.
We operate 14 branches across central and northern Israel, meaning the team coordinating your care is always local. You are more than welcome to visit your local branch and meet the team in person.
If you aren't sure which branch covers your area, just call *9055 anytime, and we will connect you to the right team. Opening hours for every branch are listed on our branches page.
Most seniors prefer to stay in their own homes. Familiar surroundings and daily routines play a huge part in their wellbeing. The main goal is simply figuring out the right level of support to make living at home safe and comfortable.
We always start with a home assessment. A care coordinator meets with the family and the person receiving care to understand everyone's perspective. From there, we look for a caregiver who truly suits your household, rather than just sending the first person available. Factors like language, personality, smoking habits, pets and religious observance all play a role in a successful match, so we discuss these details right away.
Our caregivers are professionally trained and receive ongoing guidance from our team for as long as they work with you, not just during their first few weeks. You can read more about the caregivers we place with families and the types of nursing and personal care we provide.
When a few hours of support isn't enough to keep someone safe, live-in care ensures a caregiver is living in the home and present overnight. This doesn't mean the caregiver is working 24 hours a day, as rest periods and time off are built into the schedule from the start. Families usually transition to live-in care following a fall, or when a condition like dementia makes wandering a risk.
If your home doesn't have the space to accommodate a live-in caregiver, an alternative is shift-based care, where multiple caregivers rotate so someone is always on duty and well rested. You can find more on our live-in caregiver page.
In Israel, live-in care almost always involves hiring a foreign caregiver. This process starts with getting a permit from the Population and Immigration Authority.
To be eligible, the person needing care must be an Israeli resident above retirement age, living at home (or in sheltered housing, but not a nursing institution), and require help with daily activities based on Bituach Leumi's dependency criteria. You submit an application with the supporting documents and pay the required fee. In urgent cases, such as a hospital discharge, a temporary three-month permit can be issued to bridge the gap.
It is important for families to know that under this specific arrangement, the permit is issued in the patient's name. This means the household officially takes on the employer's responsibilities for wages, working conditions and severance pay. This differs from hourly care arranged through the benefit, where the caregiver is employed through us. We will happily walk you through exactly how this works before you make any commitments, so you feel completely prepared.
Once your permit is approved, you register with a licensed private employment bureau to manage the placement. We would be glad to handle this on your behalf. If a placement doesn't work out, just let us know, and we will guide you through your alternative options.
Our step-by-step guides explain how to obtain a permit and what employing a foreign caregiver involves.
The long-term care benefit (Gimlat Si'ud) from Bituach Leumi helps cover a significant portion of care costs for most families. It is usually provided as weekly care hours rather than direct payment, though at the highest eligibility level you may be able to opt for a monthly cash benefit instead. We recommend confirming with Bituach Leumi which option applies in your case.
Eligibility is determined by the state. Once you file a claim, a Bituach Leumi assessor, usually a nurse, physiotherapist or occupational therapist, conducts a dependency test to evaluate mobility, cognitive function and the ability to perform daily tasks. This is generally done by phone with the individual or a family member, though it may also take place as a home visit. Based on this test, you are placed into one of six levels.
The number of hours you receive depends on your level and who provides the care:
Because claims take time to process, we provide up to 60 days of interim care completely free of charge while your claim is pending, with a minimum of six hours a week, so you aren't left struggling alone during the wait. We also offer free consultation and help you prepare your claim.
You can find more in our benefit guide, our eligibility calculator, and our guides to the claim process, preparing for the dependency test, and the claim forms.
Caring for someone with dementia requires a special touch, and not every caregiver is suited for it. Consistency is key: having the same person, the same routine and the same morning schedule helps reduce agitation and confusion.
We look for caregivers experienced in cognitive decline. They know how to handle the challenges families find most heartbreaking, such as repetitive questions, nighttime restlessness, and the pain of no longer being recognized. You can find more on our Alzheimer's care and dementia information pages.
Through our subsidiary, Nativ 2, we provide nationwide nursing care for individuals with physical disabilities, and we are authorized by the Ministry of Defense to offer mentoring and accompaniment for disabled IDF veterans, victims of hostile action, and bereaved families.
Because care hours are approved by the Ministry's district physician, the process is different from standard Bituach Leumi claims. We also offer a dedicated service for veterans with a special disability rating of 100% or higher. Our page for IDF disabled veterans explains how this works.
Manpower Care has been operating in Israel for over 30 years, with more than 6,000 active caregivers. We hold ISO 9001 certification for quality management. We are part of ManpowerGroup Israel, which has been established here since 1968, and we are fully owned by the global ManpowerGroup.
Our size gives you a practical advantage: if a placement ends unexpectedly, our large pool of caregivers means we can usually arrange a replacement quickly. You can read more about the company on our about page, and general guidance on entitlements is available under information and rights.
Our phone lines are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Tell us about your situation, and we will gladly talk through your options before anything is arranged.
