Sample Summary for Chapter 2:
In “Retirement Home Meets Day Care at Providence Mount St. Vincent,” Sami Edge
writes about intergenerational learning facilities are beneficial to the elderly and
young alike. The Providence Mount St. Vincent retirement home has added a daycare
center so children and the elderly can interact. The mission of the Intergenerational
Learning Center is to make the last years of life purposeful and engaging. The old and
the young interact throughout the day in various fun activities as well as working on
projects together to serve the community. Edge notes that the older adults gain new
energy through interactions with the children, and the children get to see what happens
when people age as well as get to learn social skills. (122 words)
