Nursing homes can be a very lonely, a depressing place for many elderly people which usually result in a mental and physical decline.
Inter-generational Learning Center located within Providence Mount St. Vincent in West Seattle have brought up a fantastic idea to change that by putting a pre-school in their nursing home.
Despite the difference in their years, the children and elderly “entire sense of time seems more closely aligned” than with the “busy, frazzled, perpetually multi-tasking adults” as reported by the realclear.com.
This implement has been reported to improve the quality of life of both the adults and the children.
Wonderful idea! wow, am so glad someone thought about this, and am sure it would be replicated all over the world. it could also help the decline of Alzheimer in some of the old folks.....
