Opening a Window to the World for Older Adults

Thanks to the generosity of Custom Computer Specialists, Inc. of Hauppauge, residents and patients of Parker Jewish Institute of New Hyde Park, are enjoying a brand new computer lab.

Gregory Galdi, Founder and CEO of Custom Computer Specialists, said: “We truly value the relationship that we have built with Parker Jewish Institute, and viewed our donation to develop a computer lab for patients and residents as an opportunity to help further the Institute’s mission of providing the highest quality, most compassionate health care and rehabilitation to older adults. We’re proud to be part of an effort that adds quality time to later life, and look forward to a continued, vibrant partnership.”

Michael N. Rosenblut, President and CEO of Parker Jewish Institute, commented: “Parker’s Computer Lab was originally conceived and established by the Parker League, our very progressive volunteer auxiliary. Custom Computer Specialists’ donation of state-of-the-art PCs, flat-screen monitors, keyboards, printers and related equipment to Parker’s Computer Lab opens a magnificent window to the world for our short term rehabilitation patients as well as our long term care residents. Computers afford untold opportunities for fun, convenience, intellectual stimulation and socialization: Saying “hello” to the grandchildren via email, shopping on line, access to the world of news, entertainment, publications and continuing education, to mention just a few, not only help connect seniors to an active life, but also help the world benefit from the wisdom of seniors."
