Connecting Generations in Senior Housing: A toolkit by LeadingAge

Connecting generations can result in many benefits for elders and youth. Learn how to create these connections in senior housing programs with LeadingAge's new toolkit, Connecting Generations in Senior Housing: A Program Implementation Toolkit (PDF, 8 MB, 87 pp).

"Research suggests that engagement in high-quality intergenerational programs and in meaningful cross-age relationships can decrease social isolation among older adults while increasing their feelings of belonging, self-esteem, and well-being."

The toolkit includes cultural considerations and information on program evaluation, planning, partnerships, and training. Ultimately, the goal of this toolkit is to see intergenerational programming become a part of every housing community.
