At Chapel Pointe, we know that meaningful activities go beyond simple entertainment. They are a way to honor our residents’ pasts, celebrate their passions, and create new moments of joy. And sometimes, all it takes is a few tiny LEGO bricks to bring it all together.

Aging naturally comes with some changes in family structure. As parents and grandparents get older and have increased wellness needs, caregiving roles often begin to reverse — and navigating family dynamics while making decisions about senior care can be challenging. There's no magical yellow brick road that leads to the perfect ending, but by working together, families can navigate the twists, turns, and many paths along the journey of caring for a loved one.

As we age, we accumulate a wealth of experiences and insights that are often untapped by younger generations. Sharing these stories not only provides younger generations with valuable life lessons and perspectives they might not find elsewhere, but benefits older adults in many ways as well. Whether you’re doing so in a family or community context, here’s why taking opportunities to share your story with a younger generation can benefit everyone involved — and ways you can do this effectively.
