Experience the vibrancy of multigenerational living.
Among the many wonderful elements of our Cristwood campus is the vibrancy of multigenerational living, as the community is located on the CRISTA Ministries campus that also houses King’s Schools. Multigenerational living is an increasingly popular concept that allows older and younger generations to teach and learn from one another through meaningful and regular interactions. When someone moves to the Cristwood community, a fulfilling new chapter of their life begins, one that can be enriched considerably by the wisdom of youth. According to Cheri Burcham of the University of Illinois Extension, “Older adults can also benefit from their interactions with youth. They too can learn new skills, like technology, and often feel rejuvenated and energized after spending time with young ones. The more time spent with each other can also bring greater understanding and appreciation of each generation—their beliefs, values, and behaviors.”
When choosing Cristwood, our residents have the opportunity to be a part of the King’s Schools community. Our residents are regularly visited by King’s students, attend sporting events, concerts, theater productions, and much more. Our residents volunteer and find unique ways to contribute to CRISTA Ministries, World Concern, and CRISTA Media as well. Our residents who love the outdoors can also visit or support CRISTA Camps, located on the Kitsap Peninsula, during special events.
This is an important point to remember as you embark on your journey to find a senior living option for yourself or your loved one. Many people are unaware that this powerful symbiotic relationship can be achieved in the setting of a senior living community. Indeed, multigenerational or intergenerational senior living communities are on the rise—and with good reason. This kind of regular interaction can improve the lives of both parties and provide an additional dimension of fulfillment and engagement for older adults as they craft and perfect their lives during this new chapter.
Multigenerational communities are distinct in that they see the big picture. Unlike some traditional communities whose operations are confined to a singular structure or discrete campus surrounded by unrelated buildings and residences, these communities create an inclusive and holistic campus catering to multiple ages.
Sharing a campus with King's Schools and CRISTA Ministries is what makes Cristwood a vibrant place to live. While the adults and students have all that they need to live their own lives, the layout provides a unique opportunity for different generations to teach and learn from each other and enjoy all the resulting benefits.
