From the New Jersey Jewish News on January 5, 2012

"Three years after receiving a significant portion of a $478,492 federal grant and extensive assistance from MetroWest Jewish agencies, an aging-in-place program in Caldwell — like its counterpart in Parsippany — is now officially independent.

By design, the wide-ranging activities of Caldwell LIVE — from health seminars and exercise programs to Lifelong Learning classes for seniors — will be run by organizations inside Caldwell, without federal dollars or the day-to-day assistance of United Jewish Communities of MetroWest NJ or its partner agencies, including the Jewish Vocational Service and Jewish Family Service of MetroWest.

“Now the community really holds the future of the program in its hands,” said Karen Alexander, director of eldercare services at UJC MetroWest."

From the Caldwell Patch on December 8, 2011

"Caldwell LIVE was designed to make a great place to live a better place to grow older.

With that goal in mind, Caldwell LIVE (Lifelong Involvement for Vital Elders) launched in the fall of 2008 to serve the borough’s nearly 1,000 residents over the age of 65.

During the past three years, the program has worked to provide a wide range of community services for older adults, including health and wellness classes and talks, social work support, transportation assistance, home safety assessments, volunteer opportunities and spiritual caring programs.

On Wednesday, the Grover Cleveland Senior Center, which has been the hub of Caldwell LIVE activity, was filled with organizers, partners and supporters who came to celebrate the program’s many accomplishments. By year’s end, Roberta Schoenberg, the LIVE site coordinator for Caldwell, will hand off her responsibilities to various organizations and partners in the community."
