SarahCare® Centers Intergenerational Programs are
designed to bring together
two very different
generations...
ELDERS and
CHILDREN...
for the support and resources they can offer one another. As a result, the two learn from each other...sharing their feelings,
ideas, skills, and affection.
The primary goal of SarahCare® Centers Intergenerational Programs is to
provide means by which interaction between elders and children is encouraged. The frontier for these means are without measure,
as we involve children from infancy to high school age students, with different group of elders-disabled and frail elders, and even
early and mid-stage alzhiemers and clients.
The following are some of our intergenerational Programs:
Weekly activities including an exercise group, a sing-a-long session, crafts and games.
Senior students from local high schools come on weekdays to visit elders. Their activities also include letter writing, decorating
and helping with planned activities.
Participants in our center visit with the children from the JCC Preschool next door for tons of fun and games.
