    A new model for caregiving is bringing generations back together while supporting today’s workforce. Marisa Toldo, architect and founder of Portadome, is designing intergenerational spaces that combine childcare, elder care, and shared community environments. Inspired by her personal caregiving experience, she’s addressing the growing workforce crisis caused by employees balancing careers with caring for both children and aging parents. This conversation explores the hidden impact of caregiving on companies, the benefits of intergenerational interaction, and how co-located care models can improve wellbeing for families, businesses, and communities. Key Takeaways: ● The caregiver crisis is impacting the workforce: Many employees leave jobs or reduce productivity while caring for aging parents. ● Intergenerational care benefits all ages: Children, seniors, and families gain purpose, connection, and shared learning. ● Co-located care supports working families: Combining childcare and elder care reduces stress and improves employee retention. ● Companies must address elder care support: Organizations already invest in childcare but often overlook aging family needs. ● Intergenerational spaces rebuild community: Bringing generations together improves mental health and social connection.
