Testimonials
Nursing Home Manager
"Genect programs has been helping the senior residents to improve their condition of dementia "
Ananya Sathish, Student
"Genect has given me a sense of purpose. After I came back from the first visit, it made me think what exactly my role in this world is and what is the point if we are just existing and working towards materialistic things in life? Genect has inspired me to think beyond what I can do for me/my family to what I can do for the community."
Nursing Home Staff
"Genect programs have been rejuvenating the senior residents. They are very excited to share their stories and happy to interact with students from different countries."
"When the program almost end, she asked me when I could come back and I just said that maybe next month. Then she told me that she may pass away before that so please come and see her soon, which made me really want to cry. Then she wrote her name on an origami paper, and asked me to write my address on the letter envelop, so maybe her daughter or herself can visit me one day. Of course, I gave her my address. She hugged me and I didn't want to leave at all. I stayed until I really had to leave as I might make my other friends wait."

Our visits are centred around fostering genuine connections through meaningful conversations and engaging games. From sharing life stories to playing interactive games, we create opportunities for both students and senior residents to connect on a deeper level. These exchanges not only brighten the residents' day but also leave a lasting impact on our student participants.

In addition to interactive sessions, we offer a comprehensive tour of the nursing home, allowing participants to explore and understand life within the facility. This firsthand experience provides valuable insights into the daily routines, challenges, and joys of senior residents, fostering empathy and compassion among our student participants.
