So far, after 17 years of experience we have reached out to 22550 people in hospitals, health centers, homes, elderly homes, half-way houses, refuge homes, and detention centers.
Each person that is visited is registered in a database that enables us to follow up their situation, and then pursue their integration into jewish community activities.
Many patients have been taken into aid programs, approved for social funding, and referred to rehab centers, elderly homes, and communities for their social insertion.
Leoded holds the forth for a group of patients in a compromised legal situation due to their poor judgement and frail mental health, and cooperates in providing legal assistance and maintaining advocacy for these people at courts.
We also receive many calls in order to assist people with different religious beliefs who wish for a Rabbi so they can to talk to.
