LOCATION

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

Founded in 1976, DOROT (“generations” in Hebrew) facilitates a dynamic partnership between older adults, volunteers, and professionals to address the challenges of an aging population.

Compassionate care and a commitment to excellence are hallmarks of DOROT’s programs and staff.
