OUR PROJECTS
ADOPT-A-GRANDPARENT PROGRAM
Bridging the Gap
This outstanding and rewarding program brings together energetic, enthusiastic youth and residents of nursing homes. Through the Adopt-a-Grandparent program, 13 to 17 year old students from the community are given the opportunity to adopt a nursing home resident as a “grandparent.” These young people build lasting friendships through bi-weekly visits to the care facilities. In addition to the regular visits, the young people are encouraged to write letters, make cards and send presents to their adopted grandparents. The seniors are encouraged to do likewise
