When I was introduced to Memory Care Connections, I was eager to work with them because I recognize that many young people today lack the enriching experiences of intergenerational connections. I was reminded of the invaluable conversations I’ve had with my grandparents over the years that offer perspectives I couldn’t hear from anyone else. These interactions are not only helpful in aiding mutual understanding, but also combating social isolation among seniors and promoting empathy and learning among younger people, which is why I think that memory care connections is a truly impactful program.
