Elderly care at home in Ashkelon
A caregiver or companion for someone close to you — for a few hours or live-in. Describe the job and choose by experience and language.
Ashkelon is home to many older residents, and many prefer to stay at home, in their familiar neighbourhood. In your request, give the neighbourhood, the hours needed, the language and what is required: help around the house, accompaniment to the doctor, walks. Caregivers in Ashkelon respond, and you compare profiles by experience and language and discuss the terms in the chat before work begins. If you need night hours, mention them separately.
Care formats for every schedule
Daytime, night, live‑in and weekend care.
Daytime caregiver
Daily visits, help with routines and companionship.
A caregiver comes for a few hours a day or for the whole day: helps around the house, cooks, accompanies the person on walks and to the doctor, and keeps them company. This format suits you when the person mostly manages on their own but needs supervision and support. In your request, give the hours and a list of everyday tasks.
Night caregiver
Night shifts, monitoring and medication reminders.
Overnight duty: help if the person wakes up, goes to the toilet, needs medication or sleeps restlessly. This format suits you when relatives work during the day or want to sleep undisturbed. Specify the number of nights a week, the start and end of the shift and any particulars of the person's condition.

Round-the-clock care with the caregiver living in the home.
The caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day and night, while also needing time to rest. Discuss in advance a separate room, days off, meals and cover during the caregiver's holiday. Terms and pay are agreed individually. In your request, describe the daily routine and the person's condition.
Read on the blogWeekend caregiver
Short‑term help for weekends or specific dates.
Help on specific dates: when the main caregiver is off or the family is away. A new person has to get up to speed quickly, so leave notes on medication, the daily routine and the person's habits. In your request, give the dates, hours and tasks, and look for cover in good time.
Read on the blogBedridden care
Experience caring for bedridden patients, hygiene and pressure sore prevention.
Care for a person who cannot get out of bed: hygiene, changing clothes, repositioning, feeding, preventing pressure sores. The work is physically demanding, so look for someone with experience in exactly this kind of care. Describe the person's condition and the procedures prescribed by the doctor.

If injections and dressings are needed, say so in your request and check training in the profile.
Needed if there are injections, dressings, blood pressure checks or care after an operation. Check education and experience in the profile, and ask in the chat which procedures the specialist carries out. Pass the doctor's instructions to the caregiver in advance so that the work follows them.

Caring for an older person at home can mean different things: a few hours a day for help around the house and walks, night shifts, weekend cover or a live-in caregiver. On EzraHome Connect you describe the situation and caregivers in your city respond. The platform is not an agency or an employer: it does not vet specialists, does not insure the work and takes no part in your agreements.
Start with the description. Write how the person gets about, whether they need help with hygiene, meals and medication, and whether there is dementia or other particulars. Give the schedule (hours, nights, weekends or live-in), as well as the city and neighbourhood. If a language matters, for example Hebrew, English or Russian, add it to the request. The more precise the description, the sooner those who respond can tell whether the task suits them, and the fewer clarifying questions you will have to go through.
In a profile, look at experience caring for people in a similar condition, languages, area, photo and description. For a bedridden person, experience of that kind of care specifically matters. If injections, dressings or other medical procedures are needed, check education and experience in the profile and in the chat, and do not assume that a caregiver can do this by default.
Before you start, talk to the candidate in the chat, by phone or, better, in person. Discuss duties, schedule, days off and cover during holidays, and for a live-in caregiver also meals and living conditions. Ask for references and documents and agree on a trial period. If you can, introduce the caregiver to the older person beforehand: it matters that they feel at ease. EzraHome does not vet specialists, so the decision is yours.
Relatives should also think about their own resources. Even with a good caregiver, looking after a loved one remains a burden, so decide in advance who will step in on days off and during illness. Discuss how the caregiver will report any change in the person's condition and whom to call in an emergency, and keep the numbers of the doctor, the emergency services and the family close at hand.
It is better to write expectations down. A short list of tasks for the day, the contacts of the doctor and relatives, the names of medicines and the schedule for taking them help a new person get up to speed quickly. How the caregiver communicates matters just as much: respectfully, patiently and in a language the person understands.
How much does a caregiver cost
For hourly care, expect 60–80 ₪ per hour as a market guide. This is a reference range, not a platform rate. A live-in caregiver, night shifts and round-the-clock care are paid differently, so there are no figures for them: you agree the terms individually with the specialist.
Type of care
Hourly visits, night shifts, weekend cover and living in the home are all paid differently. The format also determines how pay is calculated: by the hour, per shift or per month.
The person's condition
Caring for someone who gets about on their own differs in workload from caring for a bedridden person. Dementia, waking at night and frequent getting up also affect the terms.
Experience and skills
Experience with bedridden patients, medical skills and language are listed in the profile, and you can clarify the details in the chat.
Schedule
The number of hours a week, night shifts, and work on weekends and holidays are discussed in advance.
Extra duties
Cooking, cleaning, accompanying to the doctor, shopping. Anything that is part of the job is best named before it starts.
The caregiver sets the rate, and you agree it in the chat. The platform does not set prices and takes no part in your agreement.

Elderly care FAQ
Common questions about caregivers, legal hiring and care formats.
Describe the tasks (personal care, companionship, medical procedures) and the schedule — caregivers in your city respond. Compare profiles by experience and language, talk to the candidate and ask for references and documents: EzraHome does not vet specialists.
Each caregiver sets their own rate, and it is shown in the profile. It usually depends on the format (hourly, night, live-in), the person’s condition and the experience required.
A live-in caregiver suits round-the-clock care; an hourly caregiver suits help during the day or at night. State the format, language and experience you need — for example with bedridden patients — in your request.
It depends on your city and on who is available on the dates you need. State the schedule and urgency in your request — those who can take the job will respond.
The family is the employer: under Israeli law you pay Bituach Leumi (National Insurance) contributions and respect the worker’s rights, and hiring a foreign caregiver requires a permit. EzraHome takes no part in the paperwork — check the procedure with Bituach Leumi and the Population and Immigration Authority.
Pay for a live-in caregiver is discussed individually: it depends on the person's condition, the workload, night care and the terms. The caregiver sets the specific amount, and you agree it with them in the chat.
Each caregiver sets an hourly rate, and it is shown in the profile. A market guide is given above, in the section “How much does a caregiver cost”. The final amount depends on the format, the person's condition and the schedule.
In your request, give the number of nights a week, the shift times and the person's condition: whether they get up, and what help is needed with hygiene and feeding. In the profiles, look at experience with bedridden care, and ask about it in the chat.
