in Beith Hanina. I stayed here in October for a month to get my strength bsck enough to travel back to the states. I arrived on a stretcher not able to stand on my own and left doing all self care as before the hospital as well as transferring in and out of the wheelchair by myself.
Just before entering there are side gates to other parts of the complex, inside and outside as seen here.
or as in my case ase wheeled in on a stretcher. This nursing home is lovely. It is well kept, nicely furnished and very clean. Its a 5 star rating in my book. Although it is run by Moslems and their workers are also Moslem, they take in Christian patients and have a Jewish Doctor checking weekly on the patients.
as you walk in, is the clinic for babies that the owner has set up in conjunction with the nursing home to complete the facility of this complex.
as you first walk in is the beginning of the nursing home unit. This picture is taken from the other end, looking towards the registrationi desk rather then away from it. From this angle, my room was the first door on the left. From the registration desk, it would have been the last door on the right.
It was bright, clean and most of all to my liking, private!
and did everyday to maintain my web sites while also letting people know of my progress, plans and prayer needs.
This is the eating and sitting area for the residents where they could fellowship with family or each other. The hallway for our rooms is to the far right corner. I would like to add here that the food was out of this world. The clentele were friendly, courteous, encouraging and always willing to help..
where friends or family could sit comfortably in a more pleasant environment. To the left where the sun is coming through is a door to the patio.
which I enjoyed every day. It was so refreshing to be able to get myself outside with the wheelchair. That helped boost my spirits more then anything.
do my exercises to get my strength back and also read my bible. As I was the youngest patient there, I was often left to myself, which while recuperating especially, was just what I needed.
I want to add here that there are many Moslems out there who when you respect them, they in turn will respect you. The Jewish Social Worker from Ein Kerem hospital is the one who recommended this nursing home and I highly approve of her taste.
