A daily schedule
7:45 clock in the day our visitors arrive and have breakfast together. One of our goals, that the meals can be taken independently. Depending on the severity of the illness action sequences are always corrected. Four common meals a day give an opportunity to uncertainties in the daily lives as obstructive prove, through supporting the help of nurses predicted.

An efficient method of activating in our care is the reality orientation training, especially in the long-term care field applied. "ROT" is fitted to dementia patients, also in higher stages and helps disoriented patients remember to places, time and people. Twice a week in the context of occupational therapy crafting activities will take place. This therapy is one of the procedures which are specific to the creativity of dementia sufferers relates. By practicing feelings are lived and remembered. Until very late stages of the disease can be, because of keeped up emotionality, a therapeutic access to the patients remains.

Besides the elimination of disturbing social behavior, the achievement of greater independence and the recovery of lost skills, like eating or washing, are included to our tasks. People with dementia often need assistance with personal care and hygiene. The loss of autonomy for the concerned people may be very unpleasant and therefore it will be handled with the utmost discretion.

After lunch, the most visitors have a rest in the specially created area. At 14.30, the common cups of coffee follows, which often even baked cookies or cake will be served.

The spacious design, light and bright rooms, the friendly colors, contributes to the well being of visitors, even if they take not part in the activation or are able to join. Especially popular is the litte bird or other animals like a rabbit in the centers. Participation in the fate of the animal friends often leads to scenes that are not only for the visitors arouseing emotions, but also the maintenance team.
