Adult children in Israel often face elder care decisions suddenly, with no preparation and no single source of truth. The system is split between Bituach Leumi, the Health Ministry, kupot cholim, and the courts. Most families don't know the difference between gimlat siud (government benefit) and bituach siudi (private insurance), or that you can't buy siudi after age 65.
