Southborough Nursing Home Partners with ‘Adopt a Grandparent’ to Spark Joy and Connection
Southborough Nursing Home, part of the Aria Care family, is proud to have joined hands with the inspiring charity Adopt a Grandparent—an initiative that beautifully reflects Aria Care’s commitment to meaningful, heart-led care.
Designed to combat loneliness and nurture intergenerational friendships, Adopt a Grandparent pairs volunteers with older individuals, offering companionship, conversation and the simple, enduring joy of connection.
The home’s first pairing saw resident Ruth take part in a weekly video call with Emily, a dedicated volunteer from the charity. Their initial conversation flowed with ease, as Ruth shared cherished memories and found a true sense of connection with Emily. It was a heartwarming moment, and a joy for the team to witness.
Ruth’s family spoke of their delight in seeing her so animated—her stories brought to life with renewed energy. As she reflects on her past, there is a vividness to her recollections that speaks volumes about the power of a meaningful conversation.
Southborough Nursing Home looks forward to welcoming more residents into this uplifting initiative, further enriching daily life through moments of warmth, shared stories, and friendship.
At Aria Care, caring from the heart means more than just meeting needs—it’s about creating connections that truly matter. The partnership with Adopt a Grandparent is a wonderful reminder of the impact a kind word, a listening ear, and a genuine relationship can have.
