Halachically Compliant Home Care
At Heartfelt Health Ltd., we understand the unique needs of observant Jewish families and are proud to offer home care that is highly respectful of Jewish tradition. Our Personal Support Workers (PSWs) are specially trained to provide compassionate, high-quality assistance while maintaining the highest standards of religious sensitivity.
​​
Our PSWs are trained to manage the following and more:
Adherence to Shabbat and Yom Tov Observance
Our caregivers respect halachic boundaries, ensuring care is delivered appropriately during Shabbat and Yom Tov, with thoughtful scheduling and sensitivity to each household’s practices.
Support That Aligns With Daily Religious Practices
Care is delivered in harmony with clients’ daily routines, including Tefillah, Brachos, and observances, without disrupting spiritual practices.
Accommodation of Kashrus Requirements
PSWs are trained to follow kosher kitchen protocols, including food separation and utensil use, while adapting to each family's specific kashrus standards.
Close Collaboration With Rabbinical Leadership
When needed, we work with highly respected rabbis to ensure care aligns with halachic guidance, particularly in complex or sensitive situations.
We’ve developed a comprehensive, hands-on approach to ensure that every PSW entering a Jewish Frum household is confident, knowledgeable, and respectful of halacha.
Our 3-Step Halachic Training Process
​1. Deep-Dive Halachic Presentation
Each PSW receives in-depth training from designated frum Jewish educators who walk them through the intricacies of Jewish observance. Topics include:
-
Kashrus standards and Kosher kitchen setup
-
Shabbos and Yom Tov protocols
-
Netilas Yadayim (ritual handwashing)
-
Sheitels and modesty
-
Blessings, prayer routines, and more
​2. Knowledge Check & Certification
After the training, caregivers complete a quiz to ensure they understand and retain the information. This helps us maintain the highest standard of respectful, informed care.
​3. On-Site Orientation & Cultural Setup
Before care begins, we personally accompany the PSW to the home or facility where they’ll be working. During this visit, we:
-
Walk them through the client’s specific halachic and cultural needs
-
Show them how to navigate the Kosher kitchen and label areas for meat and dairy
-
Identify and explain the proper handling and respectful storage of sacred items such as Siddurim, Benchers, Neironim, Tallis, Tefillin
-
Ensuring these items are never placed upside down or underneath secular books
-
Teaching how to return them neatly and appropriately when care involves assisting with morning routines or setup
-
Provide cheat sheets for Netilas Yadayim, reminders for Shabbos setup, and other religious sensitivities
-
Create a smooth system so all PSWs serving the client can meet cultural expectations without added burden on the family
This detailed, respectful orientation ensures continuity of care and peace of mind, knowing your home’s halachic standards will be maintained with kavod and accuracy.
