Abstract
A senior center activities program was made accessible to nursing home patients through a project called Centercare; 144 nursing home patients from 7 different institutions made 4370 senior center visits over a 33-month period. Project results indicate that a senior center can successfully provide the institutionalized elderly with social and intellectual stimulation through interaction with their relatively healthy peers.Keywords
