Think Big, Care Deeply
A Year of Compassion in Action
Our story began in 1936 with a promise to help Holocaust survivors find dignity and hope. Today, that same spirit fuels every action we take. We believe everyone deserves to be seen, respected, and supported.

At Selfhelp, we believe that individuals deserve compassionate, trusted, and innovative care that respects their life experiences.
Our unique approach is rooted in our longstanding work with Holocaust survivors, giving us the experience and understanding to meet every challenge.
Because every person deserves to age with dignity and independence.
We are compassionate
For as long as one Holocaust survivor needs us, Selfhelp will be there.
Together, we help Holocaust survivors age with comfort and dignity – wrapped in the compassionate care they have always deserved.
We are trusted
Our story began in 1936, when Holocaust survivors placed their trust in us to help rebuild their lives with dignity and compassion.

We are innovative
