Senior dorm: college students move into assisted living home 

This is brilliant. We need more of this. Wake up America. Help one another.

Love this idea. To often the elderly are forgotten when they have so much to give.❤

I think that’s a perfect situation for both. The college kids need housing and seniors need company.

During COVID in my last year of nursing school my university assigned us 6months at a nursing home. The facility was run down conditions were horrible staff was neglectful. Most residents hadn’t had a family visit in years! It made me fear old age. This program is amazing!

We have a program in my home town, but it is the other end of the spectrum….We have kindergarten at our nursing home, all the kiddos call the residents “grandma & grandpa” it’s the most precious bond❤❤❤❤

What a great idea! I wish more places would start this type of program...There is a lot we can learn from older generations, and for those that didn't grow up with grandparents, it's a way that those kids to know what that feels like!

Wow! This is so great. Ppl are treated sooo badly at nursing homes. This is a way to keep seniors safer and to give young ppl the time, attention and knowledge they never got growing up. How can we spread this love around our country?

This director sure had a GREAT idea! Imagine what these generations can teach each other!

This is brilliant! Why isn't this happening more?!

What an amazing idea I guarantee the health of these people in this assisted living center will be greatly improved by just being around loving people

A great idea for the old and young generations learning from each other. The distance from college and assistive living is close and convenient. Win, win situation.

The ALF director is brilliant. Love it

KARE 11, thank you so much for your thoughtful, uplifting reporting. With your meaningful stories and caring crew, you stand out in TV Land. No thrill reporting, no botoxed presenters. Humanity and empathy. You are a wonderful, calm island amongst the hysteria.

I adore senior citizens. I use to both work and volunteer at nursing homes and loved it. I wish I had been offered this when I was in college.

This idea needs to be taken up by not only other universities & nursing homes but other countries Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

I would love to see this as a full on college program with any higher education facilities near assisted living facilities. Not only would it enrichen the lives of the elderly residents, they would have other people looking out for them during their nursing care and they would be able to guide a future generation by sharing stories and advice. Doing scheduled activities is good for both, the seniors would have great things to look forward to along with students who would not have time for the kind of partying that would compromise their studies. Not to mention, it could disqualify them from the program. I think it'd be especially good for students going to medical schools and that could also be added safety for the seniors, as they would have some knowledge of what to do during medical emergencies. Also, it's just so wonderful to see all those smiles. Everyone looks so happy!

This is such a lovely idea especially if you have students who don’t feel comfortable in a dorm with a lot of drinking/parties and enjoy spending time with older folks ❤

That melts my heart,so beautiful.

I hope more places would this. It helps both side- Students will learn how to behave and respect other people who need some help and on the way The Eldery will have company who will keep their spirits up . Sadly i don't think this will happen in many places.

I saw this in holland many years ago, I thought it was an amazing thing that so many more should incoporate!

Great story . What a wonderful idea and blessing to the elderly and young folks.❤

Those are great kids

This was so smart

Best story in years. Literally!❤❤

Wow, this is amazing! What an amazing idea. This would make such a difference if this type of program was replicated in every town and city across the country.

That is a marvelous idea. They can learns so much from each other.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤

We need to see more of the bridging the gap. No matter what the age, we still need each other. 😊

I’m so glad they tried this. I hope it works out favorably for all concerned. ❤ I think this is powerful in a way that requires no explanation and so I hope that turns out to be true.

Awsome, is this for real? Just having to get my Mom & Dad into care & and due to my disability maybe not to far behind. Care homes scare the crap out of me. Sitting in a hall with drool dripping off my face, completely unengaged. This would be like a breath of fresh air. And so beneficial To all. You know us old F-cks have a bit of wisdom to pass on to the next generation, and they have energy to pass to us. Seems like a win -win situation!!!! By the way I like kick ass rock and roll. Maybe can't dance to it anymore. But still enjoy listening to it. Perhaps we could share that.

this program should be everywhere

How wonderful! Just like a good family!❤Thank you!

What a wonderful, wonderful idea!!!

The male student is like, "I only pay $400 a month and I get nice digs and nice people? It's the deal of the century." It's also a genius idea of the director to generate a source of funds for the facility. With 10 students, the facility generates $4,000 a month, win win.

This is brilliant. I love the accommodations! I'm 65 and would rather be a student!

I think that’s a great idea. Learning from both generations

What a wonderful idea!!! This is so great!! Benefits the students and seniors.

Wow what a brilliant idea. This is great for the elderly. Very helpful for both elderly and the young.

Brilliant and so important! More of this!!

ALL COLLEGES SHOULD TRY THIS..ITS A WIN WIN ALL AROUND..CHEAPER RENT..SR CITIZENS GET COMPANY AND FEEL NEEDED..

Four years ago and only 85 comments 😢 this is a wonderful idea! ❤

This is great❤

Brilliant idea! A win/win for everyone.🙏❤️

What a wonderful idea❤❤

What a great idea!!!

Beautiful idea♥️♥️♥️

What a great idea!

I would so do this. Always loved speaking and learning from the older generation

This is amazing ❤

Awesome job from the Director

What a deal! And it looks like a nice place too.

I love it when I hear something positive from America. Put young and old people together.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

I’m a 54 year old disabled, single woman. When can I move in?!🌻🌻🌻

What a great idea! I wonder if it’s still going on?

Beautiful.

Need to have senior citizens move into frat houses.

So sweet!

A great situation for all!

There was a primary school in England that was sandwiched between a maternity home and a cemetery....it was a standing joke in the school that you passed from one to the other. Kids can be SO gruesome!

I love this idea! ❤

This is lovely to watch.

Aww!

This is ANAZING!

what an awesome idea! 🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰

AMAZING AMAZING!! 🙌🏾

This is amazing.

Perfect concept!

All the love

Great idea.

Wish they would do this for young adults who are actually disabled and unable to live alone

This is a GREAT idea.

I love that!

GREAT idea

That's awesome 👍😎

Excellent ❤

Praise God 🙏❤️ Such an uplifting story, when all we seem to see is a cru,bling negative society

Great idea for everybody...

💛💛

Good idea

We were meant to live in inter-generational households or at least communities...it is so sad that many grandparents nowadays are either deceased or live far away in a nursing home during their last years.

❤❤❤❤

All daycares should be in nursing homes. They both can help each other.

Amen 🙏🙏🙏

They are well behaved students..not the partying types.this is a good idea..

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤WHAT A GOOD DEAL..THEY ALL NEED EACH OTHER..JUST HANGING WITH GRAMMA AND GRAMPA..

Volunteer and only pay $200 a month in rent, food included? Nice!

Seems like a great idea. Three years later, hiw is it working?

Is this program still going on??

Let's program needs to be done and other places What 1 generation can teach to another is absolutely like changed

Celebrity Winona Ryder named after hometown

This narrator reminds me of a cooking channel here on RU-vid but I can't remember the name.

Are there juniors

They will succeed at the loss of greedy big companies who are only out to mop up every buck they can, If you put your heart into a project let god do his thing.

What a great idea!
