It is necessary to choose a visual aid that is appropriate for the material and audience.
In 2009, now world-renowned De Hogeweyk was inaugurated, the world's first Dementia Village. This was the birth of a promissing new approach to the care of older persons suffering of severe dementia.
Alternatively to segregated nursing home wards, De Hogeweyk offers all amenities of a typical Dutch neigborhood or small village to its about 160 residents. As a result, residents rediscover essential dimensions of well-being in life by once again being able to dress themselves, do their grocery shoppings, go to the theater.
With impressive outcomes both for the residents as for the workers and the institution, the dementia village model is booming across Europe and other world regions. But the interest for optimized approaches to the care of Alzheimers and other dementia are just on the rise as the number of people living with these diseases is projected to top 131 million in 2050, according to Alzheimer's Disease International.
In this eJourney, you will explore details of De Hogeweyk project and daily operation, as well as those of other two European Dementia Villages inspired at Dutch model: Il Paese Ritrovato, in Italy and Le Village Landais, in France.
Participants may choose to benefit from additional training material to further understand how the Villages enroll in their nations evolving health and welfare systems, policies and values. The most committed can share questions and insights in an exclusive live discussion with the leading executives featured as instructors.
