A Nursing Home That's Also a Dorm

In the Netherlands, more retirement and nursing homes are asking college students to move in, an arrangement that benefits everyone. The intergenerational living model is beginning to gain in popularity. Since Humanitas opened its doors to students in 2012, two more nursing homes in the Netherlands have followed suit. And a similar program was recently introduced in Lyon, France. In the United States, the Judson Manor retirement community in Cleveland started accepting students from the Cleveland Institutes of Art and Music several years ago.
