Intergenerational activities in a retirement living community are not only heartwarming, but all participants are benefiting from the socialization, mental stimulation, emotional learning and quality time. While school-age children are listening to stories from the older adults, the seniors are making new friends and combatting loneliness.

The fact is blooming flowers and sunshine skies are soon upon us, which also means it is a great time for seniors to dust off those sneakers and embrace the many retirement home activities that lead to an active and social lifestyle.

When they think their life is no longer shaped by what they previously deemed as successes, such as career or community contributions, older adults could feel lost or disconnected from what made them fulfilled or mattered to them. But that doesn’t have to be the case — especially surrounded by others in an active adult community.

Older adults are especially at risk of social isolation and loneliness from factors such as retirement, death of a loved one, separation from family and declining health, mobility and mental health. Retirement home activities are designed to help residents foster connections and decrease feelings of loneliness.
