Program Description
The House-Bound Learning program began in 1992 as a trial basis at a home for seniors and is led by trained, retired volunteers who provide the elderly with learning resources and classes. Classes can take place individualized, on a one-on-one basis or in small-group senior learning settings.
The senior learning program is a part of the larger study, "Innovative Programs for the Elderly in Israel that Americans Can Benefit From."
