Through Their Eyes: Celebrating Grandparents Through the Eyes of Their Grandchildren

A Gencare Lifestyle Campaign for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day

At Gencare Lifestyle Senior Living, we believe the most powerful stories about aging aren’t told by experts or statistics. They’re told by the people who love our residents most — their grandchildren.

This spring, we’re proud to launch Through Their Eyes, a heartwarming campaign celebrating Mother’s Day and Father’s Day by showcasing what life at GenCare looks like through the eyes of grandkids.

Because when we asked, “What do you love most about your grandparent’s new life?” the answers were everything we hoped for — and so much more.

🎥 Watch: Through Their Eyes – A Grandchild’s View of Life at Gencare

We sat down with real grandchildren of Gencare residents and asked them what it means to see their grandma or grandpa thriving. Their responses were honest, emotional, and unforgettable.

From the joy of knowing “Grandpa’s loving his new life,” to the peace of mind that comes from knowing “Grandma’s safe, happy, and taken care of,” this video captures the pure and powerful love of family — and why Gencare is more than just a place to live.

The Gift of Seeing Them Thrive

“It’s not just that my grandma’s happy here. It’s that I get to see it.”

These words from one of our residents’ grandkids beautifully sum up the spirit of the campaign. Because at Gencare, we don’t just focus on safety and care — we create environments where joy, connection, and purpose flourish.

What does that look like through the eyes of a grandchild?

• “It feels like she’s back in high school again.”
• “The holiday parties are incredible.”
• “They weren’t getting out of the house before — now they exercise every morning.”
• “She gets mad if she misses class!”
• “When I visit, we actually get to enjoy our time together. We don’t have to worry.”

This isn’t just senior living. This is living fully.

Why Connection Matters: The Impact of Thriving in Senior Living

Today, loneliness is more than a feeling — it’s a health crisis. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, loneliness increases the risk of depression, dementia, chronic illness, and even premature death. In fact:

• 69% of older adults reported feeling lonely most of the time before moving into senior living.
• 65% said loneliness negatively affected their health.
• After moving to a senior living community, 85% made new friends and 33% reported measurable health improvements.

At GenCare, we see these transformations firsthand. Our residents aren’t just safer — they’re healthier, happier, and more connected than ever before. That’s what makes the difference for families — and why grandkids everywhere notice the change.

A Community That’s Built for Families

Through their heartfelt words, these grandkids remind us why Gencare matters — not just to residents, but to every generation of the family.

“Having my grandpa at Gencare isn’t just about having a safe place for him. It’s about having a full life.”

At Gencare, residents experience:

• Active social lives and real friendships
• Personalized wellness and enrichment programs
• A care team that knows their interests, routines, and needs
• The joy of family visits that are focused on connection, not caregiving stress.
• A lifestyle that inspires confidence, independence, and happiness

“Everybody deserves to be happy. No matter how old they are.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

A Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Worth Remembering

This campaign is more than a tribute. It’s a reminder: aging can be full of joy, purpose, love, and laughter, especially when it happens in a place that celebrates the full story of who someone is.
