Building Bridges Across Generations: Prima Living Featured on CBC News
We are thrilled to share that CBC News recently featured Amenida Seniors Community in Surrey, managed by Prima Living, spotlighting the powerful intergenerational connections happening right here on our campus.
At Amenida, seniors and children from the neighboring Tiny Scholars daycare come together in unique ways — sharing stories, activities, and learning experiences that enrich both generations. Though not related by blood, these connections foster a sense of family, belonging, and joy for everyone involved.
The Power of Intergenerational Living
As highlighted by CBC News, these interactions go beyond simple visits. They create meaningful opportunities for:
Shared Learning: Seniors pass down wisdom, traditions, and life lessons, while children bring fresh energy and curiosity.
Emotional Wellbeing: Residents experience renewed purpose and joy, while children gain empathy and respect for older generations.
Community Connection: Families and staff witness the bridging of generations, building a stronger, more inclusive community.
A Model for the Future of Senior Living
This feature underscores Prima Living’s belief that retirement communities should be vibrant, connected spaces that go beyond care — places that inspire seniors and strengthen communities. Intergenerational engagement is just one way we are reimagining senior living to better serve residents, families, and society.
Looking Ahead
We are proud of the recognition from CBC News and even prouder of the daily connections made at Amenida Surrey. These moments remind us that senior living is not just about housing — it’s about creating opportunities for inspiration, growth, and connection across all stages of life.
