The Cornell Elderly Partnership is a student-run program that recognizes and addresses this need for extra care. The members of the CEP volunteer their time in order enhance the environment in nursing homes. The CEP is dedicated to the elderly in the Ithaca community and provides activities or just an interested ear for the residents to share their life stories with.
Over the years, the program has recognized changing needs of the Cornell and
the Ithaca communities and has expanded accordingly. The CEP will continue to
adjust to meet the changing needs of the Ithaca community.
