Abstract:
Israel is developing an expertise in serving aged Russian immigrants from which we in North America may benefit. Two principles that may be derived from the Israel experience are the extensive use of volunteers and trained Russian-speaking social workers and the recognition of the importance of conducting programs in the Russian language for the immigrants.
