This is brilliant. We need more of this. Wake up America. Help one another.
Love this idea. To often the elderly are forgotten when they have so much to give.❤
UNIVERSAL↔DIVERSITY
I think that’s a perfect situation for both. The college kids need housing and seniors need company.
UNIFIED↔DIVERSITY
During COVID in my last year of nursing school my university assigned us 6months at a nursing home. The facility was run down conditions were horrible staff was neglectful. Most residents hadn’t had a family visit in years! It made me fear old age. This program is amazing!
We have a program in my home town, but it is the other end of the spectrum….We have kindergarten at our nursing home, all the kiddos call the residents “grandma & grandpa” it’s the most precious bond❤❤❤❤
What a great idea! I wish more places would start this type of program...There is a lot we can learn from older generations, and for those that didn't grow up with grandparents, it's a way that those kids to know what that feels like!
This director sure had a GREAT idea! Imagine what these generations can teach each other!
Wow! This is so great. Ppl are treated sooo badly at nursing homes. This is a way to keep seniors safer and to give young ppl the time, attention and knowledge they never got growing up.
How can we spread this love around our country?
Most seniors are putting those homes in never heard again from their families😢
This is brilliant! Why isn't this happening more?!
@H A whole month later. Heavens, what kept you?
@H Of course you were. And have those nasty super predators finally been vanquished?
What an amazing idea I guarantee the health of these people in this assisted living center will be greatly improved by just being around loving people
The ALF director is brilliant. Love it
A great idea for the old and young generations learning from each other. The distance from college and assistive living is close and convenient. Win, win situation.
This idea needs to be taken up by not only other universities & nursing homes but other countries Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
Could you get it started Australia? Or do you know someone who could? Please try.❤
I adore senior citizens. I use to both work and volunteer at nursing homes and loved it. I wish I had been offered this when I was in college.
I would love to see this as a full on college program with any higher education facilities near assisted living facilities. Not only would it enrichen the lives of the elderly residents, they would have other people looking out for them during their nursing care and they would be able to guide a future generation by sharing stories and advice. Doing scheduled activities is good for both, the seniors would have great things to look forward to along with students who would not have time for the kind of partying that would compromise their studies. Not to mention, it could disqualify them from the program. I think it'd be especially good for students going to medical schools and that could also be added safety for the seniors, as they would have some knowledge of what to do during medical emergencies.
Also, it's just so wonderful to see all those smiles. Everyone looks so happy!
I saw this in holland many years ago, I thought it was an amazing thing that so many more should incoporate!
This is such a lovely idea especially if you have students who don’t feel comfortable in a dorm with a lot of drinking/parties and enjoy spending time with older folks ❤
Those are great kids
I hope more places would this.
It helps both side- Students will learn how to behave and respect other people who need some help and on the way The Eldery will have company who will keep their spirits up .
Sadly i don't think this will happen in many places.
KARE 11, thank you so much for your thoughtful, uplifting reporting. With your meaningful stories and caring crew, you stand out in TV Land. No thrill reporting, no botoxed presenters. Humanity and empathy. You are a wonderful, calm island amongst the hysteria.
This was so smart
That melts my heart,so beautiful.
Wow, this is amazing! What an amazing idea. This would make such a difference if this type of program was replicated in every town and city across the country.
That is a marvelous idea. They can learns so much from each other.
We need to see more of the bridging the gap. No matter what the age, we still need each other. 😊
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤
this program should be everywhere
Awsome, is this for real? Just having to get my Mom & Dad into care & and due to my disability maybe not to far behind. Care homes scare the crap out of me. Sitting in a hall with drool dripping off my face, completely unengaged. This would be like a breath of fresh air. And so beneficial To all. You know us old F-cks have a bit of wisdom to pass on to the next generation, and they have energy to pass to us. Seems like a win -win situation!!!! By the way I like kick ass rock and roll. Maybe can't dance to it anymore. But still enjoy listening to it. Perhaps we could share that.
You are old but not *f-**s
Your experiential wisdom can never be bought.
Great story . What a wonderful idea and blessing to the elderly and young folks.❤
I’m so glad they tried this. I hope it works out favorably for all concerned. ❤ I think this is powerful in a way that requires no explanation and so I hope that turns out to be true.
Best story in years. Literally!❤❤
I think that’s a great idea. Learning from both generations
Wow what a brilliant idea. This is great for the elderly. Very helpful for both elderly and the young.
Brilliant and so important! More of this!!
I would so do this. Always loved speaking and learning from the older generation
The male student is like, "I only pay $400 a month and I get nice digs and nice people? It's the deal of the century." It's also a genius idea of the director to generate a source of funds for the facility. With 10 students, the facility generates $4,000 a month, win win.
What a wonderful idea!!! This is so great!! Benefits the students and seniors.
How wonderful! Just like a good family!❤Thank you!
Brilliant idea! A win/win for everyone.🙏❤️
What a wonderful, wonderful idea!!!
This is brilliant. I love the accommodations! I'm 65 and would rather be a student!
Four years ago and only 85 comments 😢 this is a wonderful idea! ❤
ALL COLLEGES SHOULD TRY THIS..ITS A WIN WIN ALL AROUND..CHEAPER RENT..SR CITIZENS GET COMPANY AND FEEL NEEDED..
Awesome job from the Director
I love it when I hear something positive from America. Put young and old people together.
So sweet!
Need to have senior citizens move into frat houses.
What a deal! And it looks like a nice place too.
This is lovely to watch.
I’m a 54 year old disabled, single woman. When can I move in?!🌻🌻🌻
Beautiful.
This is amazing ❤
What a wonderful idea❤❤
This is great❤
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
What a great idea! I wonder if it’s still going on?
Beautiful idea♥️♥️♥️
This is amazing.
AMAZING AMAZING!! 🙌🏾
What a great idea!
This is a GREAT idea.
A great situation for all!
What a great idea!!!
Perfect concept!
Aww!
I love this idea! ❤
There was a primary school in England that was sandwiched between a maternity home and a cemetery....it was a standing joke in the school that you passed from one to the other. Kids can be SO gruesome!
Praise God 🙏❤️
Such an uplifting story, when all we seem to see is a cru,bling negative society
That's awesome 👍😎
All the love
I love that!
Great idea.
GREAT idea
Excellent ❤
what an awesome idea! 🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰
Great idea for everybody...
This is ANAZING!
Wish they would do this for young adults who are actually disabled and unable to live alone
💛💛
All daycares should be in nursing homes. They both can help each other.
Good idea
We were meant to live in inter-generational households or at least communities...it is so sad that many grandparents nowadays are either deceased or live far away in a nursing home during their last years.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Volunteer and only pay $200 a month in rent, food included? Nice!
They are well behaved students..not the partying types.this is a good idea..
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤WHAT A GOOD DEAL..THEY ALL NEED EACH OTHER..JUST HANGING WITH GRAMMA AND GRAMPA..
Seems like a great idea.
Three years later, hiw is it working?
Is this program still going on??
Let's program needs to be done and other places What 1 generation can teach to another is absolutely like changed
Celebrity Winona Ryder named after hometown
This narrator reminds me of a cooking channel here on RUclips but I can't remember the name.
Food Wishes?
It is Chef John!🤔
@@neutronstjarna yessss
@@salguodrolyat2594 yeah!
Are there juniors
They will succeed at the loss of greedy big companies who are only out to mop up every buck they can, If you put your heart into a project let god do his thing.
What a great idea!
