To ease the transition for new residents from the community to the nursing home, the Department of Volunteer Services at The Jewish Home and Hospital for Aged (JHHA) Manhattan Division created a "Welcome a New Resident" Program. An interdisciplinary group of Department Heads and Administration saw the need and, with their considerable advice, the program took shape. Since May 1989 specially-trained volunteers have had eight to ten weekly sessions with residents in their first months following admission. The volunteers answer residents' questions and assist them in finding their way around a very large facility, learning how to accomplish simple tasks for themselves and, most important, to become part of their new community by participating in activities and meeting other residents.
