Welcome To The First Look At Intergenerosity. Our Mission

Welcome to the first look at InterGENerosity. Our mission is to connect the older and younger generations by spreading resources and wisdom. We believe a world without ageism is possible, and desire to achieve this by empowering older adults and showing the younger generations all they have to offer.

Discipline would vary based on the severity of the offense, but the first general misdemeanor would be met with a phone call, the second would be met with an in office discussion and either probation or re-shadowing, and the third would be met by an in office discussion and definite probation and re-shadowing and possibly termination. InterGENerosity wants to make sure that both sides of every story are heard, we want to protect caregivers and clients and will take action when appropriate and necessary.
