This is adorable! But also, where do I sign up for pool noodle therapy?? Asking for a friend... who is me 😂
Yeah nah, looks cute but I dunno. Feels a bit like a photo op. Wonder if they actually spend time with them or just wheel 'em out for a video.
stuffed mate. You obviously haven't seen how much it means to them. Come spend a day in my shoes.
Work in an aged care joint. Can tell you, the residents bloody love it when kids visit. Doesn't matter if it's noodles or a game of cards, it lights 'em up.
Exactly. My nan's exactly the same. It's the little things.
agree! We need both. But let's not trash the nice stuff, yeah?

My nan's in a home and I swear these visits are the only thing she talks about. Keep it up, kids.
ffs another feel-good story to cover up the fact that our elderly are neglected? Where's the funding for proper care?
Love this! So wholesome. My kid would be all over this if we had it here.
Yeah fair play to the kids. My old man's in care and he's always smiling after visits like this.
fair enough, maybe I was being a bit harsh. Good on 'em then.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice. But we need more than pool noodles. Proper mental health support for the elderly would be grand.
To the haters: you're missing the point. Joy is joy. If a pool noodle makes a 90yo laugh, that's a win. Get over yourselves.
