Intergenerational shared websites aren't something new across the United States. Messiah Lifeways, an elderly-friendly community that houses adults located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, opened over 40 years ago, with an early childhood center and preschool in its grounds. It's still going strong in the present. Over the years researchers have been studying the care and programs for children and adults who are located on the same campus and promote connections between generations. While shared sites differ widely and are not always the same, the most popular model is one that combines preschools and adult day care and nursing facilities. An average day for Onegeneration located in Van Nuys, California, for instance, has older adults working on watercolor art with toddlers, feeding and securing baby children who are in an infant room and instructing preschoolers in Mandarin and Spanish. Research suggests that intergenerational shared spaces improve the well-being and health of young as well as older members, reduce social isolation and help to reduce costs. They're fun places. Unsurprisingly, the idea is well-liked When asked, Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of shared websites. An earlier Harris survey conducted from Generations United and the Eisner Foundation discovered that a majority of Americans consider that older people and children have the skills and abilities to assist one another as well as that 85 percent of them would prefer a shared website which fosters intergenerational bonds over an institutionalized facility for the elderly if they or their loved ones required help. However, even though successful shared websites are available in several all over the world, including Japan as well as Singapore, Japan United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Spain, and Singapore, there are only 150 in United States, compared to the thousands of age-specific healthcare facilities throughout the United States. As one site director explained, "Why aren't these in every community? The reason is that this easy care model, it appears, is hard to execute, made more complicated by funding silos and a myriad of regulations. The majority of the funders that fund care facilities are focused on the elderly or childcare, requiring the operators of shared facilities to find and manage their own sources of funding. Additionally, the plans for staffing and emergency evacuation protocols and other rules that regulate the care facilities for children differ from those that are designed for older people. How can advocates for shared sites, such as community leaders, nonprofits caregivers, professionals in caregiving, and entrepreneurs, overcome these challenges and eventually increase the number of intergenerational shared websites? After years of studying, visiting and advocating for intergenerational shared websites We believe the following four strategies could dramatically increase the number of shared sites.
