In a post he posted on Facebook, the musician asked for help from his friends and followers and told of outrageous omissions in the nursing home "Dear Third Age" • "It does not exist even in the worst horror movies."


Atref drummer and founder of the Terram band Doron Refaeli, addresses his friends and followers on social media and asks them to help his father.

In a post posted by the musician today (Thursday) to Facebook, he writes: "Save it! This story must come out. My 88-year-old hero father lives in the nursing ward of the 'Dear Third' nursing home in Jerusalem. He arrived there seven months ago, due to his deteriorating physical and mental condition. My mother, who herself had cancer, could no longer treat it and it was decided to move him out of his house, even though it was a complex and expensive business. We were promised mountains and hills there. "

At the nursing home, Refaeli says, his father was treated with contempt, delusional and humiliating treatment, which he said "does not exist in even the worst horror movies." He describes: "Some of the workers' attitude towards Dad is harsh and disrespectful, but that's not the story. Every day my mother comes to visit him and discovers something terrible is happening: his clothes' disappear 'every day and clothe my father, the man who all his life took care of Elegantly dressed, with torn rags. In recent weeks he has been scratching his whole body and it turns out he has contracted a terrible skin disease, it is not clear what and from whom. "He has the dentures. Do you understand? The man was without teeth all day yesterday until my mother came, and found out that Dad can't actually eat. He has no teeth!"

Hence he recounts encountering the opacity of a team that makes no effort to help his father: "Mom turned to the staff, who responded with lazy complacency and said, 'The teeth were lost and we have no idea where.' "

As mentioned, Refaeli asks for the help of his friends and acquaintances, who will help.

"All we ask and beg for is for you to let him finish with dignity. The respect he deserves."

"They do not respond. They refuse to take responsibility," Refaeli tells Israel Today.

"My dad, right now, has been without teeth for almost 40 hours. He can't eat and they just don't address the matter. They say 'Okay, we'll check with the cameras, it's going to happen in the evening.' They take their time. What's so complicated?

Check for a second what is written in your table, you will see who the last person who treated him and took out his teeth before bed.

One might think that this is a nursing home of a thousand people.

It is not.

It's a small nursing home.

"Everyone writes to me, 'Take him home immediately and take care of him, but if I could I would not send him there at all,'" he says. "We live outside Jerusalem.

I can not change his diaper, give him an infusion, check his sugar every day.

This is a nursing home because my father's care is not at the level of a Filipino caregiver.

Need a therapeutic place that can keep it alive.

"My mom comes every day and stays there for hours to monitor, because he's just helpless. It's a last stop for him, and we demand honorable deaths. We pay a lot of money for this thing, and you expect him to get care - if not at home, then at least in terms of level. "The medical staff knew what they were doing. They were constantly doing shocking things."

It was not possible to receive a response from the nursing home 'Dear Ages' until the date of publication of this article.
