Lutheran Home residents—whom the children refer to as “grandmas” and “grandpas”—participate with the children in a variety of planned, on-site activities such as art, music, stories, and games. In the chapel of the Lutheran Home, special events are held for children and their “grandmas and grandpas” to enjoy together. These include the annual Easter Egg Hunt, an Independence Day parade and a Christmas program.

Preschool-age children take field trips on Wednesdays, and “grandmas” and “grandpas” are always welcome to accompany them. Together, students and residents have delighted in spending time together on outings to places such as pumpkin farms in the fall and water parks in the summer. Whenever a “grandma” or “grandpa” comes along, it always makes the day more special and both the children and Lutheran Home residents benefit from their interaction.
