Elderly care in Amsterdam · UvA and VU network

Reliable elderly care with companionship and help at home, arranged by local students

Nabij is a form of elderly care with a personal touch: we bring independent seniors and carefully vetted students together. Groceries, a chat, help with the phone, or simply someone popping round. We take care of the rest: screening, insurance and a dedicated point of contact.
