Integrating the Nursing Home Resident into a Senior Citizens Center

Hirsch, Carol S.

Gerontologist, 17, 3, 227-234, Jun 77

A senior center activities program was made accessible to nursing home patients through a project called Centercare. Nursing home patients (N=144) from seven different institutions made 4370 senior center visits over a 33-month period. Project results indicate a senior center can successfully provide the institutionalized elderly with social and intellectual stimulation. (Author)
