Little children visiting

Specialties Geriatric

Published

Today I took my 2 young sons, ages 3 and 5 to visit my 97yo grandfather in his facility.

As so often happens, my kids recieved so much positive attention! Lots of the old folks there just brightened up and told the boys how cute they were. Everywhere there were smiles and waves for the little guys.

What a different culture. Usually in public places, kids are often regarded as a nuisance. Here they were treated like visiting princes.

Do you see this where you work?

:wink2:Oh yea!It is so noticable when children are in our facility.I see res.that hardly talk,try so hard to interact.I think they remind them of their past.I have also noticed a lot of lit up smiles when we have animals come in!Good topic!
