The practice has been carried out in certain cases via face-to-face meetings of volunteers known as “Bridges” (persons who connect) and older adults with dementia known as “Buddies” (fellows). Since 2005, exchanges for memory care have been practiced under a curriculum conducted in collaboration between a nonprofit organization (NPO) called Memory Bridge and secondary schools (i.e., junior and senior high schools). From 2006 to 2010, the Chicago Memory Bridge Initiative (CMBI) connected over 7,500 secondary students with older adults suffering from dementia through one-to-one relationships that lasted a minimum of three months. The Buddies were positioned as the guides and teachers of the Bridges in meetings devoted to memory care. Memory Bridge also trained over one hundred hospice staff members and volunteers how to associate with people with dementia in emotionally nourishing ways. The article investigates the experiences of the Bridges and considers the meaning of memory care by focusing on the practice, conducted since 2013, at a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in Florida—where the aging rate is higher than the U.S. average—based on exploratory fieldwork research conducted in November and December 2015.}, pages = {79--101}, title = {高齢認知症者のエイジング・イン・プレイスに向けた包摂的活動 : アメリカ合衆国における「ブリッジ」のメモリーケアを中心に}, volume = {41}, year = {2016}, yomi = {スズキ, ナナミ} }
