National Alzheimer's Buddies

Empower students and buddies to break through the boundaries imposed by Alzheimer’s Disease and discover a new identity together.

NAB is an intergenerational movement responding to the profound isolation and social disengagement experienced by people in the intermediate-to-late-
stages of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) who are living in long-term care facilities. Slowly, we build meaningful, lasting relationships with residents during weekly one-on-one visits. Meanwhile, the journey of discovering who they are, helps us to define, refine, and strengthen ourselves.
