The Cornell Elderly Partnership (CEP) is a student-run program that addresses the needs of the elderly in the Ithaca community. The members visit the local nursing homes in order to organize activities for the residents or just to provide an interested ear to hear their life stories. CEP is committed to reducing the social isolation of the elderly and focuses on the interaction between the students and the residents.
Over the years, the program has recognized the changing needs of the Cornell and Ithaca communities and has expanded accordingly. CEP will continue to adjust to meet these changing needs.
