Kindergarten for the elderly

We all have heard about the benefits of human
communication (and the child in particular) with
horses - hippotherapy. There is also dolphin
therapy, and many other fancy therapies - with
hens on the farm, with shoots on the garden and
with other “scarce benefits” of our civilization.

3.

But here we are The Creature Teachers
("Creative Teachers" and the International
Training Center (ILC) want to draw your
attention to another. We want to say that
between generations of modern people the
connecting thread broke. Children and old
people should communicate with each other
and spend a lot there is no less time than
“children and dogs” or “children and cats”.

4.

The tendency of the last decades
has led to the fact that old people
are isolated from their families
and from society in general. They
were locked up in their own
apartments or in nursing homes,
like Indians on the reservation.

5.

The same thing happened
with children. Such
concepts as “grandmother
and grandfather”,
“grandchildren”, “family
consisting of several
generations” are gradually
disappearing from everyday
life.

6.

The children prolonged the life of old people (guess
how it is easy), and the old people gave the children
something invaluable that no tutor, book, TV or
tablet would ever give them and mom and dad are
always busy. Separating old people from their
children, we chopped off the roots of our
civilization and now the tree is slowly but steadily
drying out.

7.

Children and old people spend time together, of course,
not "round the clock." They are united for only a few
hours for joint activities and games. It happens five
times a week - from Monday to Friday. Side by side, old
people and kids draw, sing, dance, sculpt and even take
cooking classes. For example, for starters,
kindergarteners (and some old people along with them)
are taught to make sandwiches for themselves. Also
included and joint walks in the air.

8.

We are engaged in the reverse mixing of guys
and old people. Specifically, we create projects,
conditions and platforms where we provide the
opportunity for close, relaxed and long-term
communication between the elderly and the
younger generations.

In order to dispel the boring and monotonous
everyday life of the residents of nursing homes, our
company The Creature Teachers provides the
opportunity to talk with animals: scratching a
tummy tombs, stroking a snake, holding an owl on
their hands - for many of the residents of the center
this experience can be the first in their entire life!

A kindergarten for the elderly or, as a matter of
fact, a day care unit with a hospital, is a
commercial or government institution that
provides social services for the elderly,
including medical care, leisure programs and
psychological and social support.

11.

The advantages of kindergartens for the elderly:
Full care and supervision for an elderly person
during the daytime while relatives are at work;
Ability to save on the nurse and nurses - in
kindergartens medical staff are on duty, ready to
assist;
A complete set of leisure services for the
elderly;
Assistance and supervision of social workers;
Ability not to tear the elderly person completely
from the family, combining home stay with
geriatric care services.

12.

Kindergartens for the elderly provide the
following services:
• Sanitary and medical services (injections,
examinations of nurses, assistance in carrying
out hygienic procedures, etc.);
• Leisure activities;
• Psychological and social assistance.

13.

Strictly speaking, kindergarten for the elderly
has the same advantages as the traditional
kindergarten for kids. Such an institution is a
great opportunity to organize professional care
for an old man during the working day,
combined with leisure and rehabilitation
programs. Of particular importance is the fact
that an elderly person has the opportunity to
constantly communicate not only with his peers
in the center, but also with relatives, as there is
no separation from home and family. This plays
a huge role in maintaining a stable
psychological state of the old man.
