Inter Generational

Statistics indicate that approximately one-half of the children living in North America today, are cared for by someone other than an immediate family member, during some portion of the day. In two-thirds of two parent homes, both parents work.

Recently, in depth studies in United States have been released outlining the benefits yielded from environments promoting seniors interactions with young children. The findings detail increased physical and emotional stability for the senior adult with noticeable enhancement to the sensorial and emotional stability of young children.

The inter-generational facility by MLP Residence combines a coherent senior assisted living and residential living environment formally linked with Picton Day Care Centre for the pre-school children. The genus of institution is one of the first such exchanges in Ontario, and possibly Canada.
