Adopt a Grandparent program links teens with elderly
A study by Martin E Segal notes loneliness in old age spurs efforts to connect seniors with younger helpers. West Hartford juniors and seniors participate in an Adopt a Grandparent program, writing letters, running errands, or visiting at St Marys Home and other institutions. Similar efforts exist in San Francisco and New Rochelle, showing teens can form genuine bonds with people in their 70s and 80s. The programs, supported by government and Older Americans Act agencies, broaden youths’ understanding of aging and may redefine age relations.
