They Put A Pre-School In A Nursing Home And It Changed Everyone’s Life

Contrary to popular belief, nursing homes can be very lonely places for elderly people. In fact, it is not uncommon for elderly people to experience social isolation that is associated with depression and loneliness. Many believe that a nursing home would alleviate these issues, but these feelings of depression don’t go away, in many cases they only worsen.

In the Western world, a nursing home is the most common place for seniors to go once they reach a certain age. It seems this is symptomatic of our culture, because in many other countries the elderly people live with their children and the children take care of them in their old age. They would never dream of dropping their parents off into a home just because their parents have reached a certain point in their lives where it is difficult for them to care for themselves.

In Providence Mount St. Vincent, Seattle, WA, something amazing has happened at the Inter-Generational Learning Center to ensure that the elderly people at their nursing home are happy.

They decided to put a pre-school in a nursing home. Family members and staff were all pleasantly surprised to see the huge difference it made in the lives of both the elderly and the children.

You need to always have the mindset that Bernie Sanders is losing the election. You can’t say, “oh, everything seems to be going okay I don’t need to vote or support his campaign.”

Yes you do. You need to vote. Primaries and all. Don’t think it’s going okay. EVERY VOTE COUNTS. YOUR VOTE COULD BE THE WINNING VOTE.
