It helps give elderly people in homes something fun/stimulating to do, and the kids benefit with free candy! A win/win!
Awwww
Can you imagine the candy these kids will get? It will be completely comprised of bit-o-honey, licorice, and those weird candies wrapped in either orange or black. Won’t somebody think of the children?
I love this! And I love that lady’s smile.
That’s so sweet! Literally
precious 😊
That is a very sweet idea! Look how happy that lady is to see that little kid all dressed up!
Fun at the nursing home
If there’s one thing I’ve learned trickortreating with my young kids, it’s that the older the candy giver the more absolutely tickled they are to see little kids in costumes.
Awww!
… although lord I hope they don’t bring in rsv, c19, flu
I remember this happening when I was a kid. My mom wouldn’t let me go because I was dressed as the grim reaper.
Okay THIS is precious. What a wonderful thing to do on Halloween!
And it’s all Werther’s Originals /s
This is absolutely heart warming 🙂 the elderly get lonely easily
Did this once when I was a kid. Old woman with dementia tried to shake my hand so I let her, she put my whole fist in her mouth. I screamed and never went back to a nursing home until I was grown.
I’ve been teary all day! Don’t you dare make me happy cry. This is so damn wholesome.
“Here sweetey,take some Vicodin and laxatives…”
This should become a nursing home tradition everywhere. My mom was in one for a month after fracturing her pelvis and I swear to God I hated going to visit her because it was so quiet and lonely and I just wanted to visit them all and I couldn’t. The ride home was spent bawling. It was torture.
That woman looks like the sweetest little grandma ever! I just wanna hug her!
And they all got the flu
Nursing home in my tiny Iowa town growing up was the place to go. At least half the residents participated and wanted kids to come get candy. Some others just sat near the front observing all the kids coming/going.
Unsanitary
How cute
*watches as this nursing home ends up in the news as residents fall ill to covid, many die*
Cute. But diesease though?
What did you get for Halloween. ?
COVID
Ah yes having two vulnerable populations exchanging all the treats with each other. It’s ok because it’s cute!
Cutest superspreading event ever!
I guess covid is not a thing anymore
All fun until some walks in dressed as death
I’m sorry to be a party-pooper but from an infection control perspective this is a horrible idea. If I worked there I’d ***try*** to keep my mouth shut about it though.
At first I was delighted to see how they helped the elderly and the young enjoy the holiday together. Then i remembered what horrible little germ factories kids are. I hope they took precautions. At least some of them were wearing masks.
I’ll be the killjoy; I wouldn’t be crazy about this if my loved one was in here. While I’m sure the residents love it, one thing I know about kids is they’re little petri dishes, and this is a whole building full of folks that can’t really afford to get sick.
Did they wear a mask to stop spreading covid to the vulnerable from disease centers aka schools?
Having kids: one of those kids is going to get one of those old people sick and kill them. Kids carry brutal viruses.
