The Home was founded in 1976 and is licensed by the Ministry of Welfare for 48 independent and ‎frail residents. ‎
Ebenezer is a non-profit and relies largely on donations since most of the tenants are unable to meet ‎the monthly payments. Ebenezer is the only old people's home in Israel that serves the Messianic ‎congregations in Israel and includes Jewish, Arab and other gentile believers. ‎
The Home provides all the needs of the residents from a physical, health and social point of view in ‎accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Welfare and also takes care of the spiritual ‎well-being of the residents. ‎
Residents are admitted into the Home after submitting an application form that includes socio-‎demographic details, financial capabilities, medical background and a recommendation from their ‎congregation elder/pastor. The application is reviewed by an Advisory Committee to make sure they ‎meet the criteria to be admitted to the Home. ‎
The residents are asked to exhaust all their sources of income to pay the monthly payment which ‎currently stands at NIS8,700 (rate for an independent resident). If the resident has poor means, the ‎expectation is that the resident will seek support from family members, congregation and other ‎sources. In any case, the Home will not reject the admission of a resident who cannot meet the ‎monthly payment for a justified reason.‎
