"Loved Seeing the Students' Participation. Great Bunch of Kids.": Understanding Older Adults' Experiences with Intergenerational Activities.
This study aimed to understand the experiences of older adults who participated in a interorganizational and intergenerational initiative, the Senior to Senior Dinner Dance. Responses to open-ended survey questions from 69 older adult participants were analyzed using a thematic analysis, which elucidated three themes: (a) remaining active; (b) instigating social interactions; and, (c) adjusting to new social roles. Findings suggest opportunities for social workers to partner with others in community-based organizations to facilitate meaningful intergenerational activities for older adults who wish to remain physically and socially active in later life.
