It always made me wonder why no one was getting these two groups together. I don't think I ever asked anyone about it and assumed it had to do with liabilities that neither side wanted to expose themselves to. But it always stayed in my mind as a remarkable example of lost opportunity. So it was great to see someone doing the right and logical thing at last. Maybe change will come to my community too - in time.

Living Together
Such a heart-warming idea to bring seniors and students together in a common living space that helps both. One of J's daycare centers back in the day was right next to an assisted living facility. The seniors lived a solitary existence there and there was never any signs of life. In sharp contrast there was this playground full of squealing, running, jumping kids right next door. So much life and such an absence of it so sharply juxtaposed.
