One of the most powerful documentaries I've watched. A true testament to person centered approach to care. All facilities should adopt this approach.

This documentary works for anyone who is interested in understanding dementia and how person centred care promotes and strengthens well being for the individual. This is evidence based practice at its best. If we ignore this and focus only on the cost then we are missing the point.

This video simply doesn't address the various stages of dementia. All the people portrayed appear to be happy reasonably alert souls, apparently in the early stages of dementia - and, yes, there is a window when they are still cognisant of their surroundings - but there is the indubitable fact that it's short-lived; the brain is indefatigably in a process of being destroyed. What truly matters is the palliative care when they are no longer dancing or jumping out of a plane or socially engaging, and require calming medication, the tenderness of touch and warmth and a feeling of safety when they've moved beyond that stage into the final period of their death. This is me writing having been there for my mother, seen that, done that, with great learning and grief.

What a great documentary. I've worked in the health field helping elders at home. It is so important to have a routine, stay engaged, whether it's crafts or music or cleaning etc..it's really important to let clients be part of every day day life(within safety bounds)

Ann Maria flat 4 40 rd Felixstowe ip11 7np Suffolk Felixstowe England and her boyfriend Scott retired after the people she robbed while caring for them find what they stole

We need the villages though...we really do, with the shops and grocery and hair salons, barber shops, coffee shops, restaurants...so they can do the same sort of things they did when they lived in their homes...the mini apartments, etc...and best of all the GPS tracking devices that Denmark was using on their residents of their village...without that, we are only giving them a step above our Nursing Homes...they can't get the full experience of still having control over their lives and what they want to do every day...don't get me wrong here, this is a wonderful start...but, we still need these other things to give elderly a fuller life and a fuller life, means a happier, longer life. I totally agree about not doping the patients up...in so many nursing homes, because they don't have the staff to care for their patients...they just dope them up and they are strapped in some chair all day...doing nothing but being passed out...it's so sad...we need to change the way we think...I so wish we would send people that would be interested in running these specialized homes, to Denmark to visit and learn their approach too...because because continuing to be able to do live an independent life is so important...they have mastered it in Denmark.

Really? You are deluded, my dear. I work in Danmarks nursing home and I used to work in UKs: not big difference. Do you realize, that demetia sick people is not only calm, smiling, friendly old person?! MOST OF THEM are aggressive, violent, abusive people, completely disorientated and taking care staff for their enemies? You know nothing about care.

So much to say. My mom did not want to be bothered with any of that. She never lived that way, and did not want to change when she got sick.. there are NO answers... day to day experience, everyone is different.

Oh my God, wonderful documentary. Person center care should be everyone's goal in any kind of care!!!! :)

Thank you!

Truly an amazing documentary. One that should be shown as part of orientations in care and medical organizations, in schools, and throughout our communities. Well done!

This is Earth-shattering, groundbreaking and breathtaking. Next week we're moving my mom into memory care. I'm going to challenge my sister to watch this video and NOT be inspired to volunteer to implement some of this stuff in my mom's new place. I myself can hardly wait to help with sing-alongs, gardening and now, even want to get to know the other residents. Thank you to everyone who has thought of something unique for are beloved persons with dementia.

What a wonderfully powerful documentary. Thanks a million!

I do this for a living ...we are trying hard to adopt this concept ,,,not quite there yet but are working towards it. One thing not mentioned...staff to resident ratio. I would be interested to know what that was.Great documentary

I quit after we had a representative from a company talk to us about nothing, and she said " you certainly don't this for the money, that's for sure!" I then realized she's right, caring for people does not pay the bills, the wages are at poverty level, I couldn't keep it up. I make more money selling donuts.

Omg this is so encouraging and beautiful...... where is this?!.... I never ever wanted to have my mom go into the care of someone else.... but this clearly shows me that someone else can help her more than I can.......which breaks my heart 😭 but at the same time is so.... I don’t really know the right word.... relieving, maybe... Thank you so much for making this film, and to everyone involved from the property owners to the staff....❤️❤️

💚 This gives me hope! What brilliant people!

Thankyou for this information.

It's hard to keep good care takers. Low pay and high turnover are major problem s.

note to self - Mention to staff that I the smell of lavender. ( LOL actually, I do work in a nursing home with dementia residents and this is a great video.)

Although the care and programs they are showing do seem to work I started noticing about half way through that all the residents were white, while most of the care givers were not white. I assume this is an indication of cost- my mom's care facility is $6300/month. It takes a lot of people to provide that level of care. If a person's family can only afford half that cost what does it look like?

What a amazing and beautiful Cognitive, Emotional & Social Work in Dementia Rehabilitation... It will be the future? I hope ! Here, in Europe, some countries have doing some good work in this area, although there are still many of them that maintain old practices and forget the importance of Cognitive & Emotional Training... I' m postgraduate in health communication & I do Cognitive Stimulation and Training with Elder with Dementia, in Portugal. Here, this area isn't considered as an important Area, related to an increase of Life Quality and Cognitive & Emotional Health of People with Dementia.

The thing that makes me sad is the lack of outdoor activities. I just can't stand being inside so doubt I'll be able to adjust to that in old age.

Extraordinary 🥰

As a normal person, i would like to be here too heheheh. Or plan to when i reach a certain age. This is great but the number of care-givers (passionate ones) ratio and the level of service requires alot of money - in many countries. This level of care is for private practices. It would be great if most of us could provide/afford this level of care for our aged loved ones. Have read in other fb groups the challenges of many care-givers ie family members. Many are not able to afford good nursing homes of this nature, unfortunately. We need alot more awareness on awareness so we know how to give support and care in society. Governments should intervene alot more not just for the children but for the ageing population problem which isn't going away anytime soon. xox

Worked in facilities who had this approach but lack of staff and meaningful adult activities made the program spiral. The greed of the facility kept residents in memory care who should have been placed in skill nursing. With dementia there's only decline. Activities are geared towards the women. Male residents didn't want to play bingo or do art and crafts. The resident activities felt like a grade school class room. Right now there are 2 generations of seniors in facility care. Those born during the depression and baby boomers they couldn't be more polar opposites. One facility would not let the residents have any down time. I always thought well maybe today they don't feel like painting a paper plate or glueing yarn on a clothes pen. People are living a lot longer but not better. Longevity can be a curse. My best advice is get a living will. Make sure you're a DNR. Why be brought back from a stroke to live in a wheelchair unable to do anything for yourself.

The people who can afford to live in these assisted living facilities have it soo much better than the ordinary person.

The problem is the price $9,000 a month. Unless someone pays for long-term care insurance, who can afford this. A friend has been paying $8,000 a year and another $4,000 a year for LTC insurance. I know music helps a lot.

Also, my grandma had LTC insurance and in 2015, her insurance paid $80 per day. So the nursing home was $204 per day at that time in 2015. So her insurance didn't even come close to even half of the price of the nursing home. But I was still glad she had it because it was better than nothing.

I want to watch this but there isn't decent care for people in NM for under $5000. a month.

Teodor, You're so right. It should have been freaking ovbious. But how many senior's care facilities have you visited? Even within families, there's still a stigma attached to dementia/alzheimer's that many many people do not recognize is preventing them from just simply engaging with their loved one, now with dementia, in their "new normal" state of mind. It should be freaking obvious but still is not.

This sucks my mom has this

The story about the man who fell and wasn't found for over an hour. When you live on assisted living, you have to be able to cope pretty much on your own with some care but not babysitter. Saying he didn't get taken care of properly isn't a fair statement. Residents have ways of reaching out for help if they are injured etc. Maybe he want cognitive enough to understand. Sorry for your families loss

If there was a way to help improve a dementia patients condition would you try it? Please take an eyebrow tweezers and remove the hair and/or hair follicles from the hands and feet. The treatment is easy and the results will be immediate.
