A Partnership of the Generations
The shutdown of the pandemic in 2020 hit older adults hard. The isolation was devastating, especially for those locked down in communal living environments and the reverberations are still felt by many seniors. The upheaval of the pandemic has made it particularly difficult for senior living homes to find and maintain staff and provide meaningful and enriching programming to residents.
For the first time, as a pilot with Jewish Senior Life in Detroit, Reboot has created a Digital Catalog to provide select experiences, programs and opportunities for residential programmers to access, curate and distribute meaningful Jewish content to their residents. The impact has been so great that it has been recognized as a model by the Association of Jewish Homes and Aging Services of North America (AJAS) and received a 2023 Jewish Programming Award.
