Welcome to the
Java Project
What is the Javaproject?
-
- The Java Project is a comprehensive 3-year program targeting social isolation and loneliness in nursing homes. Paid 100% by CMS through the Civil Money Penalty Reimbursement Program (CMP Grant).
- The project targets three main groups: active residents (Java Music), those living with cognitive changes (Java Memory) and for those that don’t come to programs (Java Mentorship).
- The programs are implemented over a 3 year period, with free training and support available throughout the project.
- Each program comes with an assortment of high-quality materials including step-by-step guides, training videos, group manuals, discussion themes, readings, a talking stick, familiar recorded songs, songbooks and much more.
- Training for each program is 1.5 hours.
- At the end of the project, you keep all the materials and can continue running the programs at no cost.
- Ongoing free training for new staff is also available. The original Java groups have been running over 10 years and they have been implemented by over 2000 senior living organizations.
