Embracing Generations

Embracing Generations is an intergenerational program launched at Latin School of Chicago that promotes relationship building and mutual learning among students and our senior residents. This is facilitated through programming for students and seniors that focuses on areas such as health and wellness, education, creativity and socialization. Our goal is that everyone involved gets something out of Embracing Generations. We want students and residents alike to learn something new and build relationships that leave participants feeling empowered.

Connections That Count

Resident Story: Xaun

Xaun, also known to many as Theresa, is a retired nurse from China. She came to America with her two children in 1990 so they could receive a proper education. She lived with her children for almost five years, and then found an independent home at Peace Memorial Manor. She was attracted to the community because it was close to her children yet had a thriving community of its own. She immediately found peace and comfort in her daily living.
