A Retirement Home for Young and Old

Tiffany Tieu, 26, and Laura Berick, 80, formed an unlikely friendship while living at Judson Manor, a retirement community. Judson Manor houses a select group of music students for no charge in exchange for performing recitals and concerts for the older residents. At Judson Manor, age is just a number.

It feels like the plot of of a Netflix tv series.

[@kaneyang4402]

Lol

[@OsheaRael]

W

[@0nlinegrl]

I'd watch it!

[@f4gangel]

Honestly I would watch it

[@freshlysqueezedpopsicle]

+Gabe Mo me too XD

[@LisaN]

I really love this. I love the older woman because wow isn't she so cool?! But the younger one - wow. She has an open and good heart that doesn't look at age. She probably doesn't see skin color or health conditions or anything else as barriers to friendship either. She is a real gem of a person. No wonder these two are friends. It's lovely.

Old people are all around pretty bad ass. I like hearing their stories. Always gives me a little perspective to life. Like talking to my grandparents about things they've done in their past, and put myself in their shoes. I'm always amazed at the things they've done and seen, and how easily I dismiss old people sometimes, and realize that I could be talking to a war veteran, singer, former actress, former nfl player, etc.

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Old Home USD SGD

[@Iamreallycoolful11]

where is this retirement home? this place is beautiful.

[@dardanm3544]

is it expensive? seems very expensive

[@sharkypandoom9791]

Iamreallycoolful11 You thinking of retiring there?

[@Iamreallycoolful11]

Demonknight 1000 yep, just 45 years left till retirement.

[@Squirrels310]

A nice, quiet dorm where you get home-cooked meals from grandma? Sounds perfect!

[@Essays4College]

LOL just don’t play your music too loud and be in bed by 9.

[@imarichtowngirl4321]

so sweet

[@sjonesrn1445]

I started out at Judson at the nursing home as a certified nursing assistant. It is in walking distance of my dorm and only a couple blocks from the nursing school. They employed me and my classmates while we were in nursing school. They do things differently there. They construct themselves around the Eden concept of elder care, where one is beautifully surrounded by this building where six bedrooms clustered like a neighborhood and there are 5 or 6 of these per nursing unit. The whole Judson camp is right up against Case Western Reserve University and have formed a community bond right there that has been going on for decades. I'm not surprised by this senior living / young dormer concept at all. The University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland has been like this for 100 years. It's totally natural.

[@marcussudman9071]

Go Browns :)

[@tubbymontana7090]

I need to learn an Instrument asap

[@Liz-dn1kl]

[@freshlysqueezedpopsicle]

Here here here! * throws a piano from the roof * * piano breaks * Oops...

[@PersianCeltic]

Great idea that benefits people across generations!

[@gregovideo7019]

I owe a lot of thanks to Laura (and to her then husband James) for taking me in to stay for weeks with them at their Rockport, Maine house when I was a freshman scholarship recipient for studies at Berklee College of Music and still did not have a place to stay. A lovely, lovely lady! Thank You!

[@RightToSelfDefense]

It's good you have somebody who has survived to be in their 80's. Listen to her and you might make to your 80's.

[@jennyfromdabioc]

I'm crying because they are like the best of friends and I can't stop thinking about when Laura dies. At least she has at most 20 years

[@donaldthompson6490]

Everyone dies.

[@trint3089]

My grandmother was taken from me early. I would love this place.

[@daphne10120]

This is awesome! What a wonderful way to enrich their lives.

[@Jennyoy]

This is a brilliant idea. Mixing the young and old in a housing

[@an_kol]

This is one of the best channels on youtube!

[@melrazo]

this is so cute

[@ChrisPollitt]

The world needs more of these!

[@jimmysgameclips]

This is so cool. I see a sitcom incoming!

[@SubcribetoTin]

oh my goodness is that woman on house arrest!? what is on her ankle? (really sorry if she's not)

[@silkthyme]

whoooaaaa that place looks so beautiful

[@costelolozarvatti35]

These videos make me so kind

[@trevorsj]

Imagine making friends so easily like that I could never 😭

[@Melicioel7]

This might sound weird but I always wanted to live in a retirement home and hear their life stories. Maybe WWII stories or The Notebook type stories...

[@TLH1310]

My employer has used a similar model. We provide residential support for adults with disAbilities. Each home has 2-4 people with 'disAbilities and a Live-in caregiver. There are other caregivers on duty during the day and on weekends. The "Staff Roommate" has their own suite (bedroom and bath) full access to the house, and employer paid health insurance in exchange for "working" overnight 5 nights per week. Any extra time is paid. The hours are great for students, single people, recently divorced, etc...and they will adjust hours if you have another job during the days.

[@terrariley4289]

This is an amazing idea more places need to do this

[@TheSnorlax7]

Aww... How heartwarming!

[@TheteachertalkwithMostaandFera]

How come you guys have so little views, considering the fact that you make amazing videos all the time. Are you sure you're doing your best to optimize this channel? Also, the quality of your videos is excellent and that must cost a lot. Too many questions!

[@chocozeus920]

They have something to do with CNN btw.

[@TheteachertalkwithMostaandFera]

Hmmm So they're on TV

[@chocozeus920]

mostafa mamouni Not really. I'm not entirely sure, but from what I understood it's just a company owned by CNN.

[@TheteachertalkwithMostaandFera]

hmmm

[@georgethompson3763]

+Choco Zeus That explains why they publish stories from all over the world almost daily, I was thinking there had to be a big company behind this channel.

[@Ssantram]

this is so pure

[@neuroether]

Spectacular Union of Great People!

[@karlozaguirrez470]

I am full time alcoholic degenerate gambler, do you think there is a fit for me there? of course in exchange for stand up comedy gigs I would have these old folks pee in their pampers, cry and laugh at my pathetic life every Wednesday nigh!

[@JankyJankProductions]

This is so quirky I may make a series about this on TBS.

[@itqtpie]

This would make a great reality series or documentary. Great idea.

[@tinkerbrittany]

They are both such lovely people. Amazing 💕

[@user-qw7xy3pj3p]

That smile at 1:16 is just everything.

[@TwoPunchMan492]

[@Essays4College]

Retirees, particularly retired single women, complain and complain a lot. Couldn’t pay me enough to live in a place like that.

[@오세륜]

Young people and old people can be friend but depend on how they start their conversation and common interests too..hahaha 😂😉

[@WinSDFina]

[@Damstraight68]

Is that old lady on House Arrest?

[@jokerace8227]

Millennials would like to skip the work part, and go straight to the retirement home, but there has to be XBoxes and Playstations with big screens there.

[@muhammadoling7988]

No rent is awesome

[@mozart4636]

is she the woman version of Daliah L'?

[@TheServantOfTheOne]

Depressing

[@immerse_yaself]

Doesn't mean she's going to live there forever - she's probably working another job and saving the money up to buy her own place.

[@yourmajesty7012]

Basically rich people living good and paying young people to be their friends, go check out retirement communities in poor areas and you will see how the people in this video have it good
