"Many people will have heard about “intergenerational practice” via the TV.

This is the purposeful bringing together of different generations, aiming to
benefit all involved. It’s the idea central to ABC TV’s Old People’s Home for
Teenagers
, and its predecessor Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds. Both show
the positive aspects of mixing age groups, for the older people featured, as
well as the teenagers or preschoolers.

I’m a geriatrician, a doctor who specialises in the medical care of older
people, one of two geriatricians who took part in this TV experiment. Here’s
why I got involved."
