ABOUT US / Intergenerational Programs
One Community
Our intergenerational programs are designed to bring together people of all ages to create meaningful connections, foster mutual understanding, and enrich lives.
Bringing the Community Together
Research shows that intergenerational activities boost wellbeing, reduce loneliness, and provide older adults with a renewed sense of purpose, while young participants gain confidence, empathy, and respect for older generations. Our programs serve as a powerful antidote to the challenges of modern life, breaking down barriers and building bridges within our communities.
For over three years, our intergenerational programs have been making a meaningful impact in our homes by bringing together people of all ages to connect, grow, and learn. From toddlers to nonagenarians, our Infinite One Community programs foster mutual understanding, build relationships, and offer enriching shared experiences for everyone involved.
We are proud to offer intergenerational programs throughout our homes as part of Infinite Care’s One Community including
Infin8 Mini Bears
Our Infin8 Mini Bear playgroups provide an opportunity for local day cares and schools to join our residents for activities, fun, and shared stories.

Introducing Our Infinite Table
In August 2024 we proudly launched our latest initiative, Our Infinite Table, during Loneliness Awareness Week.
These events are designed to bring our communities together over a shared meal, fostering connection, friendship, and meaningful conversations. Everyone is welcome at Our Infinite Table, regardless of age, background, or culture, as we celebrate the richness of our shared experiences and diverse interests.
We love our volunteers
We also know that it takes a village to support our residents in every way they need. Sometimes all they need it someone to sit and talk to, and that’s where our volunteers bring so much to our home communities.
Often family members, or friends with some spare time on their hands, our volunteer program – we like to call it the ‘Infinite Village’ – is open to anyone who has some extra time, love and TLC to give. We find our volunteers bring so much value and laughter to our communities, and that they get as much out of it as we do.
Connecting with Infinite Care
At Infinite Care we prioritise connection any way we can, because connection is what drives us a humans. It feeds our souls and governs our emotions. Whether meaningful connections in our homes are formed through mealtimes, at our concerts or activities, or through sharing stories, we strive to build a strong sense of community and belonging for our residents, their loved ones and our team. This contributes to an infectious happiness for everyone who enters our homes.
