National Alzheimer's Buddies is a mid-sized organization in the hospitals and health care sector, based in North Andover, Massachusetts. It facilitates intergenerational engagement by coordinating weekly one-on-one visits between younger volunteers and residents in long-term care facilities who are in the intermediate-to-late stages of Alzheimer’s disease, with the aim of reducing social isolation. Through these sustained interactions, residents and volunteers participate in a process of mutual discovery that supports personal growth and strengthens the volunteers’ understanding of themselves. Operating within the health care landscape, NAB focuses on social engagement for people with Alzheimer’s living in long-term care, complementing traditional care with meaningful interaction. The organization’s work is centered on empowering participants to move beyond the boundaries imposed by the disease and to discover a shared identity. In late 2021, NAB hosted its first Virtual Symposium, indicating an expansion of outreach through online events.
