During the bus ride to the Home, the participants were briefed by Adrienne Rosenberg, director of Federa tion’s Jewish Social Services Department. Ms. Rosenberg explained the goal of the Older Adult Program — “to en courage and assist the older adult and his/her family in maintaining his/her in dependence and connection with the community as long as is practical or as long as the person wishes.” This is ac complished in part through counseling of the elderly and their families, visits with the homebound and the Jewish elderly in non-Jewish nursing homes in Charlotte, and in coordinating activities with the temples and service organizations in their projects for the elderly.
