The Mediterranean Towers network, one of the oldest and largest in the assisted living sector in Israel, officially opened its eighth home – a project that includes two 18-story towers in the city of Rehovot, with 250 assisted living units. The complex offers a wide range of living and service standards, including a personalized fitness and health program, a chef’s restaurant, a semi-Olympic pool, a cultural center, and community life.
The project was built with an investment of about NIS 400 million, and it includes two towers with 125 assisted living units in each. Most of the apartments are 2.5 rooms with an average size of about 60 square meters, and some were designated for guest accommodation. The complex also includes a large public center, where the kosher chef’s restaurant “Zax Brasserie” and an adjacent bakery operate, along with a cinema hall, beauty salon, and activity rooms. Some of the facilities are also open to the general public.
At the same time, emphasis was placed on health and fitness: The residents benefit from a personal activity program based on monitoring physical and cognitive indicators. The program was developed in cooperation with Levinsky-Wingate College and is intended to preserve the independence of the residents and strengthen their quality of life over time. For this purpose, an advanced gym and a semi-Olympic swimming pool operate on site.
With the inauguration of the home in Rehovot, the Mediterranean Towers network manages about 1,900 assisted living units in eight homes across the country. According to the CEO of the network, Doron Arnon, “This is an exceptional project and the first of its kind in Israel, upgrading the perception of reality regarding assisted living and turning it into a center of leisure and community life in the heart of the city.”
Arnon added that cooperation with the Rehovot Municipality made it possible to promote the initiative, and emphasized that the network’s agenda is to provide its residents with a high quality of life and a vibrant routine, while opening some of the services and activities to the residents’ families and the community.
