A novel home-based rehabilitation model is being implemented for individuals suffering from severe head injuries, particularly those sustained during the October 7th attacks and the subsequent war. Dr. Roni Tzabar, founder of Tzabar Medicine, a "hospital at home" service, is leading this initiative, which aims to provide comprehensive professional support within the patient's natural living environment.
Tzabar explained that the Ministry of Defense approached his organization to take full responsibility for the most severely head-injured patients. This led him to shift his personal clinical focus from supportive and palliative care to the complete management of complex head injury cases at home. He believes that true rehabilitation must be integrated into daily life and family dynamics, not confined to sterile medical settings.
The core principle of the program is to alleviate the burden on family members, who often struggle to act as constant caregivers. By having a professional team manage medical care, families are freed from anxiety and can resume their roles as emotional support. Tzabar stated, "You will continue your lives, leave the medical side to us."
This approach has shown significant results, with patients in critical conditions demonstrating increased motivation when returned to their familiar surroundings. The natural environment facilitates the rebuilding of independence, from resuming hobbies and crafts to managing daily routines. Tzabar Medicine operates nationwide, offering home hospitalization and intensive rehabilitation with multidisciplinary teams, including specialists, nurses, and therapists, providing advanced medical care at home.
