Elizabeth Toomey and Eleanor Anthony, residents at The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center of Excellence, Collegedale, enjoy "Toddler Time" at the Collegedale Library.
Residents from The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center of Excellence, Collegedale, were not too old to enjoy "Toddler Time" at the Collegedale Library.
Toddlers ages 18 months to three years read giant picture books and played games with the seniors from the Alzheimer's memory care community. In exchange for giggles and laughs, the residents gave away "Grandma's Cookies" to each of the children in attendance.
Morning Pointe invites schools and youth groups to spend quality time with the seniors, as young and old embrace the many known benefits of intergenerational activity as part of the Meaningful Day(tm) program.
