Meaningful Shared Experiences

At WindChime of Marin Memory Care, we believe in the power of personalized care. Intergenerational programming brings joy, perspective, and vitality to our community. Older adults benefit immensely from the energy, curiosity, and warmth of younger people, while children and young adults gain invaluable life lessons and empathy from spending time with elders. These relationships help to bridge the gap between age groups, fostering mutual respect and creating meaningful shared experiences.

We take great pride in actively encouraging and facilitating these cross-generational bonds. Throughout the year, we partner with local schools, youth organizations, and family groups to create opportunities for shared activities and visits. Whether it's storytelling sessions with elementary school students, collaborative art projects with local high schoolers, or musical performances by young musicians, these moments of interaction light up the faces of our residents and visitors alike. Many of our residents delight in mentoring younger generations, sharing wisdom and memories that otherwise might be lost.

Ideal Location in Kentfield

Nestled in the heart of Kentfield, our community is surrounded by natural beauty, excellent schools, and a welcoming neighborhood that values inclusivity and togetherness. We are just a short distance from community centers, parks, and educational institutions, making it easy for families and school groups to visit. Our location enhances the accessibility of intergenerational programming and encourages connections with neighbors of all ages.

We also host seasonal events that welcome families and neighbors into our community. Harvest festivals, holiday celebrations, and summer garden concerts are just a few of the events that bring people of all ages together at WindChime. These gatherings not only build bonds among generations but also strengthen our connection to the broader Kentfield community. Residents thrive when they feel part of a larger, interwoven social fabric — and our commitment to community inclusion is a central part of what makes Windchime feel like home.

Improved Cognitive Engagement

For residents living with memory loss, intergenerational interaction can have powerful effects. The presence of children and young adults often stimulates conversation, sparks joy, and evokes memories. We have found that these encounters can elevate mood, decrease feelings of isolation, and even improve cognitive engagement. With gentle structure and a supportive environment, we ensure that every interaction is meaningful and appropriate for our residents’ unique needs.
