    Intergenerational remotivation programs aim to reduce social isolation in the elderly. However, these programs are complex and require active staff intervention for successful outcomes in social functioning.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Social Psychology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Social isolation significantly impacts institutionalized elderly individuals.
    • Intergenerational programs offer a potential avenue to enhance social awareness and functioning in older adults.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the complexities and effectiveness of intergenerational geriatric remotivation programs.
    • To identify key social behaviors and psychological processes within these programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of social behaviors observed during intergenerational program sessions.
    • Examination of the meaning and experiences of elders participating in the program.

    Main Results:

    • Identified 'invitational work' as a descriptor for child-elder social interactions.

  • Highlighted program complexities and potential challenges beyond initial expectations.
  • Conclusions:

    • Intergenerational remotivation programs are not a simple solution for elder social isolation.
    • Successful implementation necessitates continuous staff monitoring and targeted interventions.
    • Programmatic success is contingent on managing inherent complexities and providing active support.
