The "dementia village" that's redefining elder care

No subtitles available.
Title:
“หมู่บ้านผู้ป่วยเป็นโรคภาวะสมองเสื่อม” ที่ให้คำจำกัดความใหม่แก่คำว่า การดูแลคนชรา
Speaker:
Yvonne van Amerongen
Description:

How would you prefer to spend the last years of your life: in a sterile, hospital-like institution or in a village with a supermarket, pub, theater and park within easy walking distance? The answer seems obvious now, but when Yvonne van Amerongen helped develop the groundbreaking Hogeweyk dementia care center in Amsterdam 25 years ago, it was seen as a risky break from tradition. Journey with van Amerongen to Hogeweyk and get a glimpse at what a reimagined nursing home based on freedom, meaning and social life could look like.
