De Hogeweyk and a Normal Life with Dementia - Jannette Spiering (Be Advice)


Listen Later

Today, we have an interview that weโ€™ve been looking forward to for a while, with Jannette Spiering from Be Advice and also De Hogeweyk in the Netherlands. Even if you donโ€™t recognise the names you may know the story, itโ€™s been described as โ€œthe dementia villageโ€ a name Jannette and the team strongly dislike, but itโ€™s received a lot of attention for itโ€™s mission of creating a normal life for people living with dementia.


They do all sorts of fantastic stuff in De Hogeweyk to ensure that residents retain their freedom and have a fulfilling life with support from the care teams. With restaurants, a supermarket, and the freedom for residents to walk around the neighbourhood, Jannette and the team pioneered this approach in the 90s.


Weโ€™re fast approaching the end of 2021 still feels weird to say, and weโ€™ll be doing something a little special throughout December. In the three weeks before Christmas weโ€™ll be featuring some shorter, bite sized episodes each Tuesday and Friday talking about one aspect of Christmas and the holidays.


Itโ€™ll be a little bit of fun to get us all in the spirit for the end of the year.
