“Improving the Lives of Seniors II” Program
The grant regards the implementation of the “Improving the Lives of Seniors II” program, which is the continuation of the previous TIMA grant “Improving the Lives of Seniors” program that was realized with TIMA funding. This year’s grant will be geared to several Attica care homes with three main axes. The first axis will entail geriatric assessment of elderly residents by geriatric doctors at the Center for Geriatric Assessment at the Henri Dunant Hospital. The geriatric assessments will be made on 40 elderly persons from various care homes. Upon completion of the assessment, the health professionals will develop individualized treatment plans to be implemented by the staff of the care homes. The second axis is a series of educational-training seminars for carers, in cooperation with professors of the “Physiology of Ageing and Geriatric Syndromes” Master’s Program of the Athens Medical School. The third axis will entail intergenerational recreational sessions that will bring together high school students with about 120 elderly residents of the care homes via online and in person meetings, with the ultimate goal of providing companionship and combatting the social isolation that seniors often face.
