Better Together: Intergenerational Shared-Site Child Care
Better Together is TQEE’s new initiative supporting the co-locating of child care within elder care communities.
It was sparked by the innovative collaboration of Hillcrest Healthcare’s Lavonda Cantrell and Lori Humphreys with the YMCA of East TN, who teamed up to create the first model in Tennessee.

Hillcrest Healthcare went looking for child care as a workforce recruitment and retention tool and ended up with that and so much more. The co-location model has a growing evidence base demonstrating improved outcomes for children and older adults alike. And the compelling value proposition — for elder care organizations, families, and the workforce — is evident every day at Hillcrest now.
