Patients at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center - Roslindale received custom-designed gifts this holiday season.

Beaver Country Day School engineering class students recently presented specialty items they designed specifically for patients.

Over the previous 12 weeks, students met with staff and engaged with patients through conversations and their favorite activities to understand their needs and how the students could address them.

One group made a tissue box holder that attaches to a patient’s walker for easy accessibility. Another team created a motorized, rotating art display so another patient could easily view all of her art pieces.

This multigenerational program was one of many successful events coordinated by our Hebrew SeniorLife Volunteer, Youth, and Community Engagement Team.
