Senior Adviser, Eldercare Services
Israel Waldman is a respected Senior Adviser at Eldercare Services, located in Kiryas Joel, New York, who has dedicated over a decade to serving his community. Beginning his journey at the kitchen tables of his neighbors, Israel has deep roots in his community, helping families navigate the often-daunting complexities of Medicaid and social services before formally establishing his career in this vital field.
As the founder and leader of a specialized advisory department within the KJ Community Council, Israel saw a critical need for expertise in Social Security optimization, a gap where many could provide medical care, but few could explain the intricate details of financial planning. His background as a licensed New York real estate professional has equipped him with the skills to handle complex regulations, which he now applies to ensure his clients receive the maximum benefits available for their retirement planning.
Fluent in both Yiddish and English, Israel serves as a linguistic and cultural bridge for community members who may encounter barriers in accessing the benefits they've earned. He is passionate about empowering seniors to age with dignity and financial peace, driven by the Jewish value of Chessed (loving kindness). Israel believes that every senior deserves support in navigating the complex government system, and he understands the unique social and economic challenges faced by his community.
Israel Waldman has earned the National Social Security Advisor (NSSA®) certification, demonstrating advanced expertise in Social Security claiming strategies.
In addition to his advisory role, Israel leads a local food distribution initiative, as he believes that ensuring seniors receive their maximum Social Security benefits is as crucial as providing them with fresh produce. He is a champion for aging-in-place, committed to helping families develop clear roadmaps for financial security, allowing them to focus on what truly matters—the well-being of their loved ones.
