The importance of connectivity

A 2013 study conducted by The National Council on Aging (NCOA), UnitedHealthcare, and USA TODAY surveyed 4,000 U.S. adults for The United States of Aging Survey. The survey found that seniors are driven by a desire for connectedness. More than half of seniors (53 %) nationally indicate that being close to friends, family, and community, is of major importance as they age.  www.ncoa.org/news/press-releases/connections-with-community/
 
Facilitating group sharing sessions within senior living facilities expands the Legacies mission of capturing stories and creating new ones, for this ever growing population.

IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR 
AN INTERGENERATIONAL FAMILY HISTORY WRITING GROUP 


This community program is designed to occur when families visit their loved ones, building a new community within the senior environment,   and at the same time involving the family in capturing stories.  So many however have every intention to start the process, yet are unable to consistently craft and continue the process. 
 
It’s a Family Affair is a regularly scheduled family activity where an event is created for families come together to help residents with their communication skills by sharing family stories using thematic direction and fun memory jogging activities.
 
 A family listening and writing gathering opportunity, It's A Family Affair is held for the nurturing and support of the entire family, plus fellow residents who lived in the same era and can often trigger event ideas and similar memories. 
 
This program is usually scheduled weekly, bi-weekly or monthly and involves visiting family in the process – young and old. 

               
Participants:  Residents and Families
 
One Memory At A Time
