SENIOR CITIZEN PROGRAM
(SENIOR VISITATION PROGRAM)

This program enables seniors and homebound patients in our community to feel the comfort and security of knowing that they have not been forgotten.

There are countless seniors, many of them holocaust survivors, who find themselves alone and lonely. They have nobody to whom they can turn to help them attend to their daily needs. Shopping becomes a hurdle too difficult to overcome. When we receive calls from neighbors, friends or often from the seniors themselves they are in a desperate state. They are in need of physical and emotional support. In steps “Joining Generations” our senior visitation program providing a listening ear and a caring heart.

Women of all ages volunteer to bring a measure of comfort to our aging population and by doing so find that they have enriched their own lives.

Mrs. S., a holocaust survivor, witnessed untold horrors in her lifetime. When she was in her mid-twenties the war ended and she courageously rebuilt her shattered life. With so many hurdles behind her she now sits alone, for her children live in distant cities. She desperately needs a human touch, a tender ear to sit for a while and share her memories. Our volunteer Mrs. M. has found the grandmother she never had and so deeply missed, a grandmother who did not survive the holocaust.
