Intergenerational Program
From Generation to Generation
We provide multiple opportunities for our residents to enjoy meaningful interactions with the younger generation.
From young to old and old to young, there are so many valuable lessons to be learned. That’s why we partner with local K-12 schools and youth groups to provide enriching intergenerational programs.
Residents from across our campus are paired up with children for educational events, conversations, creative projects, and shared celebrations. All participants enjoy the opportunity to learn about life, traditions and values from one another.
Program objectives and outcomes:
Residents
