The Reconstruction Home
Residents at the Reconstruction Home first saw the bright faces and wagging tails
of Cornell Companions volunteers in the Fall of 2002. The Reconstruction Home has three floors of about 40
residents each. Some are coherent and
relatively active people; others can
neither communicate clearly nor get around easily. The
first floor houses the Alzheimer's special care unit.
Each floor has a lounge
where some residents gather excitedly on nights when Cornell Companions visits are scheduled. Volunteers also visit
residents in their rooms before they settle down for the night.
Distance from Cornell: 1.75 miles, or about 4 minutes
