Seniors

Adopt a Grandparent Program

Adopt A Grandparent: Project P.P.R.I.D.E was created to address the needs of seniors at Cobble Hill Health Center who desire individual attention. Seniors are matched with dedicated people who are willing to volunteer their time as well as their lives to enhance the lives of our elders.
