During the Week of Dementia, shared enjoyment and memories were central in Oostende's residential care centers. Residents experienced wonderful moments with music on request, a nostalgic aperitif, a dessert buffet, and a performance by the GEVADA dancers. In the experience kitchen, memories were also revisited and new moments were created, resulting in a warm week full of music, conviviality, and connection.
The 10 Days of Mental Health, which started on October 1st with the theme 'Being well-surrounded', paid extra attention to mental well-being and the importance of connection. Various activities were organized to bring people closer together.
Activities such as moving together, chatting on the conversation bench, or cooking a tasty soup together, provided fine opportunities for meeting and spending time with each other. The message is clear: being well-surrounded makes everyone a little happier.
