Review for Kavod Senior Life, Denver, CO, USA
I first learned about Kavod at a LeadingAge conference, where their team gave a presentation about their extensive and community-wide outreach known as "Kavod on the Road" and the annual "l'Chaim Conference." I have been fortunate enough to attend the annual conference, and it is an amazing experience. Bringing in inspiring speakers and folks who have deep expertise in their fields, it is a day that blends community, fun and fellowship, learning, and spiritual reflection, all of which serves to encourage and energize the seniors from throughout the Denver area who attend. The partnerships that Kavod has nurtured in the Denver metro region are nothing short of amazing, bringing together financial, health, educational, and cultural organizations for the purpose of increasing the well-being of seniors and adding to the experience of positive aging. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has meant that Kavod must approach its activities very differently, but it has not slowed them down a bit. The 2020 "L'Chaim Conference" was held virtually, and while it was not the same as being together in person, it was still the inspiring and educational experience that one would expect from Kavod. Other activities, also, have moved online, as the Kavod team creatively strives to keep seniors engaged and reduce their isolation. Hats off to the passionate folks at Kavod Senior Life for all they do!
