FRIENDS FOR LIFE.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE. It takes just minutes for the visiting first-graders from Twin Rivers USD to become comfortable with their new “buddies” who live in Eskaton’s assisted living lodges and care centers.

Eskaton’s Kids Connection is the centerpiece of the organization’s initiative to promote intergenerational living, learning and mutual respect. Each school year hundreds of local elementary schoolchildren partner up with their new friends – some 15 times their age – to read stories, celebrate holidays, work on art projects, Skype and simply enjoy one another’s company.

The accompanying pictures are worth a thousand words, but to experience the genuine caring first-hand is priceless.
