South Edmonton Seniors Caring About Seniors transports those seniors needing a ride to the babyshowers. The seniors resource nurse maintains regular contact with crafters. A focus group was set up with Health For Two moms to find out what articles they needed and to see they wanted to learn new skills. Arrangements were made for the intergenerational project to be held at the Bonnie Doon Community Hall starting in June 1998. It has since moved to the Public Health Centre.
Seniors teach knitting and quilting to new moms.
Seniors network with seniors in buildings and bring them down to health clinic to talk about intergenerational program - it is another way to access seniors and provide ongoing support. Transportation must be provided for this program to continue. Just think, these children are getting designer clothes.
