Melissa Roman is the Program Manager for Gateway, which started as a project from the Berkeley Age Friendly Continuum, with the goal of helping people be proactive with the aging experience. Gateway is now a program under the auspices of Rebuilding Together East Bay North. Melissa has over thirty years’ experience working with older adults in clinical, residential and community settings, including inpatient behavioral health, assisted living, and adult day programs in the Bay Area. She is a nationally certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. She is a compassionate advocate when working with people to enhance their quality of life and in finding innovative solutions to mitigate challenges.

Senior Fusion's grant-funded social technology project is being offered to low-income, older adults in the Bay Area who are interested in having greater social connectivity with family members and caregivers and/or friends. The 3-month pilot utilizes the medium, ViewClix, a simple 15" monitor for photo streaming and video calls.

ViewClix devices are a great way for older adults (especially those home-bound or aging in place) to have engaging conversations with people near and far without having to use a keyboard or even touch the screen. No computer experience or English language is necessary, just a communication partner(s).
