Independent Living in the Community for Adults with Disabilities

Opening doors to independence

A New Standard for Independent Living

Shalva’s Independent Living program offers men and women with disabilities a true place to call home, one that goes far beyond an address. It is a home built on security, independence, community, and an uncompromising quality of life.

Located in some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant neighborhoods, Shalva’s community apartments are carefully designed with everyday life in mind. Every detail reflects a commitment to comfort, autonomy, and meaningful daily living.

Residents are supported by a professional team available around the clock, alongside personalized social support and real opportunities to take part in employment, leisure, and community life.

Who Is Independent Living For?

Shalva’s community apartments are designed for adults aged 18 and over who are recognized by Israel’s Department of Welfare Disabilities Administration.

Not a framework. A life.

Through Shalva’s Adult Programs, adults with disabilities are supported in building their future with dignity. A professional, multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive support across the full continuum of care, offering the tools, guidance, and stability needed to grow, thrive, and live independently.
