THE MODEL
INTERGENERATIONAL LIVING
Intergenerational models can pair mission-minded seniors with at-risk youth, ease the burden of adult children by offering close-by access to care, or simply provide venues for the wisdom of the aged to influence the energy of the young. Within each context, Live Together® is committed to finding strategies that integrate living and allow all generations to thrive.
PERSON-CENTERED CARE
Person-centered care puts the one receiving care at the center of decision making. Rather than acting on the priorities of a corporation, an institution, or even staff, it puts resident needs first. The Live Together model of person-centered care impacts how seniors live by treating the human being rather than the diagnosis, giving the vulnerable a voice in their life and in the care they receive.
