Moving abroad should never mean leaving the family behind. GrandyGo’s Generation to Generation programme is built on the opposite idea: that older people thrive when they stay connected to the young, and when they are seen as people with something to pass on.
Visits that are more than a cup of tea
Families are welcome any time, and we help arrange their stay nearby. But we also give visits something to do — shared activities that put the grandparent in the role of teacher, cook, storyteller and guide, rather than someone to be checked on.
- Cooking traditional recipes with grandchildren
- Teaching knitting, crafts and old games
- Gardening, painting and reading together
- Recording the family’s history and stories
Why this matters so much
Intergenerational contact is good for everyone involved. For older people it brings purpose, joy and a powerful sense of still mattering; for children it brings patience, skills and roots. When a grandparent teaches a grandchild to roll dolma or plays a backgammon game they have played for seventy years, something is handed down that no screen can replace.
These shared activities draw on the same catalogue residents enjoy daily — see the Intergenerational category in our activities list.
Staying close across the miles
Between visits, our team helps with video calls, shared photos and simple technology, so a grandchild’s news reaches Kemer the same day. Holidays and special occasions are planned into the yearly programme, and we arrange flights and trips home when residents want to be there in person.
For adult children, this is often the reassurance that matters most: that choosing GrandyGo brings the family closer in quality, even as the distance on a map grows.
