Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds is a heart-warming factual series based around a unique social experiment that brings together a group of retirement home residents with a group of pre-schoolers.
Presided over by a team of geriatric experts and a child education expert, the series observes the two groups interacting in activities that encourage movement, learning and social interaction, such as reading, group games and painting, to see how time spent together might affect both groups’ health, happiness and understanding.
A mix of science, heart and humour, the series uses scientific analysis and monitoring to track the progress of both groups and test what affects the intergenerational contact can have. Season 2 is being produced for the ABC in 2020.
