On 18th December the residents of Frank Foster House Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, recently spent a heartwarming day at Theydon Bois Pre-School, engaging with young children in a delightful intergenerational event. The visit provided a wonderful opportunity for the residents to step into the lively world of the nursery, lending a helping hand and sharing precious moments with the children.
The day was filled with smiles, laughter, and meaningful interactions as residents participated in activities alongside the children. From storytelling to helping with crafts, the bond formed between the two generations was a touching sight for everyone involved.
Nicolas, Home Manager at Frank Foster House, shared his thoughts on the event. “It was lovely to see the residents helping out at the nursery. The children’s energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and it was clear how much joy this brought to everyone.”
Resident, Sophia, echoed this sentiment, saying “it was so much fun, and it was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves with the children. It reminded me of when my own kids were little.”
The importance of intergenerational activities like this cannot be understated. Events like these foster understanding, build connections, and create lasting memories for both the young and the elderly. For Frank Foster House, this day was a shining example of the joy enrichment that community engagement can bring.
The visit to Theydon Bois Pre-School highlights the power of bridging generations, proving that whether young or old, shared moments of kindness and fun create bonds that enrich lives. Both the residents and the children left with smiles on their faces, looking forward to the next opportunity to come together.
