Karen Corsaw (left), second-year occupational therapy student in the School of Medicine, greets senior resident Ranka Goldman at the open house for The Gathering Place, a new community meeting space in West County. The new space is funded by the Administration on Aging as part of the Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) project, which is coordinated by the Jewish Federation of St. Louis in partnership with its agencies and the University’s Center for Aging. The goal of the NORC project is to help aging Americans spend their senior years in their own homes by optimizing support services that provide transportation, health and human services and home modifications.
