Orshina in brief
Orshina (Orshina Foreign Workers Ltd.) is a licensed Israeli private bureau for foreign caregivers in the nursing-care sector, with offices in Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Beer Sheva.
Orshina Foreign Workers Ltd. (Israeli company no. 515429694) is a private bureau licensed by Israel's Population and Immigration Authority to place and supervise foreign caregivers in the nursing-care sector. It accompanies families and patients through employing a foreign caregiver — from the permit, through matching, to the caregiver settling into the home — and runs four staffed offices, in Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Beer Sheva. Orshina publishes its service fees openly and operates an online catalog of available caregivers that families can search by region and language.
