Key social services include comfortable accommodation, nursing care, and quality meal. Social-therapeutic services are also provided, along with group and individual activities.
Special emphasis is placed on an individual approach to each person and on preserving human dignity even in difficult life situations.
The care principles at Hagibor are rooted in the general values of Judaism. As a result, Jewish traditions are observed in the home, Jewish holidays are celebrated, and kosher meals are provided.

Ezra
Comprehensive in-home social care EZRA is a registered field-based social service of the personal assistance type, operated by the Jewish Community of Prague as a non-state healthcare provider.

EZRA enables its clients to combine health and social care directly in their home environment—sensitively tailored to their individual needs and life circumstances.
An integral part of this care is occupational therapy, which our association helps fund. Occupational therapy services are provided either upon recommendation from the attending physician or directly based on input from EZRA staff.
The occupational therapist visits clients either at home or in an institution (such as a hospital) and, after an initial assessment, develops an individual occupational therapy plan. This may include therapeutic exercises, counselling, recommendations for suitable assistive devices, and other supportive measures aimed at enhancing the client’s independence and quality of life.

Some psychotherapists have personal or family experience with coping with trauma and are closely familiar with the processes of intergenerational transmission of trauma—for example, from the Holocaust—or have been working with this issue for many years.
For many years, the Rafael Institute has organized interdisciplinary conferences focused on the topic of trauma in various psychological, social, historical, and political contexts. The choice of themes usually reflects current societal events and is presented by experts from multiple fields.
