Adopt a Grandparent is a student community service organization comprised of students who volunteer with the elderly in Durham, primarily at Unihealth (formerly Erwin Gardens, then Integrated Health Services), a public nursing home and rehabilitation center in walking distance from West Campus. The mission of AAG is to provide disabled and institutionalized senior citizens with social and emotional support, to foster the formation of positive social relationships between senior citizens and Duke students, and to encourage understanding and appreciation of the senior citizens in our community, especially those who lack social support and financial resources. Most members make one-to-one visits with older adults at least twice a month, in addition to fun group activities, such as Bingo, a Senior Citizens Ball, student performances, craft activities, and special holiday events.
