HAARLEM Due to the corona measures, the Alzheimer Trefpunt cannot hold physical meetings and that is why an online Trefpunt will be held on Friday 18 June from 4 p.m. This time the topic is ‘Daytime activities and the effect on people with dementia’.
The design of a room, doing the right activities and doing them well has a major impact on the well-being and behavior of people with dementia. On Friday 18 June, moderator Silvia Adrichem will talk to Roos Zwart. Originally trained as an interior architect, later working as a caregiver and activity supervisor in elderly care, she focused on the processing of stimuli by people with dementia.
Roos Zwart works as a teacher and advisor, among others for the CCE, the Center for Consultation and Expertise. Topics that will be discussed are: what should you take into account when you are going to do activities with someone with dementia, how can you motivate someone; if someone goes to day care, what should you take into account and how do you prepare someone if someone with dementia shows misunderstood problematic behavior?
The conversation can be followed live on the department’s website: www.alzheimer-nederland.nl/midden-kennemerland. During the conversation, you can call to ask a question or add something. The phone number is: 06-22742852.
