At the Arbor Terrace nursing home in Alpharetta, residents and local children find joy in music therapy and form long-lasting friendships.

Groovin’ with Grandfriends is a community event facilitated by Perfect Harmony Health, a nonprofit in Georgia that aims to provide innovative healthcare and music therapy. It is a drop-in program where parents bring in their toddlers and stay with them for a chance to bridge the generational gap with seniors.

Fresh Take Georgia’s Narda Sigala has the story in this video.
