Program

"Adopt a Bubby" is an innovative program that aims to meet the needs of the seniors within our community by connecting them with willing and capable volunteers. It has been proven time and time again that consistent human interactions can greatly impact the quality of life of the aged, and those who interact with seniors are in the position to accomplish a tremendous amount.

Activities

"Adopt a Bubby" is designed to enable seniors to develop intimate, on-going relationships with volunteers. As part of the program, the volunteers are encouraged to share Torah thoughts, stories, or relevant information about upcoming Jewish holidays. The time spent with the seniors will be fully utilized so that they are able to benefit from and enjoy it as much as possible.

Volunteers

Anyone with 15 minutes a week and a heart of gold can "Adopt a Bubby". Prior to initial senior visitation, a volunteer is required to participate in a brief orientation session, which will take place at the assigned facility. These sessions will help ensure the success of the visits. Program directors will give a guided tour of their facility.

Children

Bringing children along on a visit is beneficial for both the seniors and the children. The seniors love the young company, and the relationship with the seniors has a positive effect on the family.

Don't be concerned about the commotion that frequently accompanies children. It can be a welcome change to the usually sedate senior home environment, and studies show that elderly people enjoy seeing and spending time with children.
