DESCRIPTION
PSRC is a private, non-profit organization whose mission is to
empower older adults in the diverse Princeton community to
make informed choices and live healthy lives. PSRC offers
affordable services, programs and opportunities that support,
educate and engage older adults, thekr families and caregivers.
A wide array of classes, seminars and social events is offered
weekdays for physical, social and mental activity and wellness.
Social services provide information and linkage to area sources.
Staff assist individuals and families with life transitions, such as
moving, loss, illness, through consultations, counseling and peer
support.
PROGRAMS
Homefriends: connects adult volunteers with home-based
older adults who need some assistance to maintain
independence in their own homes, such as shopping, rides,
paperwork or the joy of companionship.
Engaged Retirement Program: explores the many aspects of
the transition into retirement years and examines the ways
that volunteering can replace the functions of work. A one-hour
introductory workshop is available for local employee groups.
LINK: Connects teen volunteers with home-based older adults
for companionship, light chores.
GrandPals: Connects older adult volunteers with public
elementary school children to share a love of reading and
learning, and to form intergenerational friendships.
Evergreen Forum: lifelong learning program for and by
retired/semi-retired adults in 6- to 10-week semesters which
present opportunities for active participation and learning. A
wide range of subjects, including art, science, literature and
history, is offered each semester.
Caregiver Support Center: Offers counseling and consultations,
information and referral services, support groups and a
resource library to those who are caring for older adults near and far.
