ABOUT DOROT
Founded in 1976, DOROT (“generations” in Hebrew) facilitates a dynamic partnership between older adults, volunteers, and professionals to address the challenges of an aging population. DOROT is dedicated to enhancing the lives of older adults to help them live more independently and as valued community members. Compassionate care and a commitment to excellence are hallmarks of DOROT’s programs and staff. The agency is a recognized innovative leader in mobilizing volunteers and community and supportive services. Comprehensive programs – conducted onsite, in the home, remotely, and in the community – combat loneliness and social isolation. DOROT's headquarters are on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

DOROT expanded its volunteer visiting programs to Westchester in 2005, skillfully matching older adults with volunteers for various home-based social programs. By late 2022, programs were also being introduced in Westchester community spaces, giving older adults opportunities to come together with peers to connect, learn and enjoy a variety of activities, including those that provide intergenerational engagement with local teens. DOROT Westchester is innovating and growing, seeking to engage more older adults and volunteers in more communities throughout the county, while expanding the scope of our community partnerships.
THE OPPORTUNITY
DOROT Westchester’s Social Workers provide case assistance and support to a broad spectrum of older adults across Westchester County. This includes conducting a comprehensive, psychosocial, in-home assessment of new clients and follow-up assessments with ongoing clients. Follow-up assessments are imperative to confirm a client’s ongoing appropriateness for program attendance or need for additional services and are conducted bi-annually for our older adults. Social Workers also participate in, and support DOROT’s volunteer programs including skillfully matching volunteers with seniors based on shared interests for regular visits or telephone calls and supporting those matches for both the older adult and volunteer.
Primary Responsibilities:
Manage a caseload of older adults participating in DOROT’s visiting programs, providing ongoing support to both the older adults and volunteer in each match.
