GrandFriends Program
PROGRAMS
Connecting Generations, Enriching Lives
At The Arbors, we believe meaningful connections know no age limits. Our GrandFriends Program brings together seniors and children from local schools, youth groups, and community organizations for shared experiences that inspire, educate, and delight.
Through crafts, reading, art, music, and unique projects like our “Kindness Rocks” movement, residents and children create moments of joy while learning from one another. Seniors share wisdom, stories, and life lessons, while children bring energy, curiosity, and laughter that uplift our residents’ spirits.
Discover the impact of the GrandFriends Program, where friendships bloom, kindness spreads, and generations grow together.
