| Zusammenfassung: | An innovative pilot program in a traditional Jerusalem synagogue was developed to increase medical and social well-being of older community members who want to age in place. The study assessed the impact of the program. Interviews and focus groups were conducted in 2019 with 30 program participants, program staff, and non-program residents and with program leaders a year later. The evaluation found that wellness and healthcare features of a faith-based aging in place program had a generally positive impact, magnified by the group's strong social cohesion. The program's impact and value have increased since COVID-19, with some potential for replication. |
