“Per mano nel vuoto”, “Hand in hand across void”

This project is aimed at improving the quality of life of those patients affected by senile dementia in the retirement home in Fubine, through an integrated and coordinated system of entertainment activities and psychological and neuropsychological activities (activities that had to be performed remotely during the Covid19 emergency). This initiative consists in: individual and group treatments, to be monitored by use of medical, photo and video documentation, which made it possible to create a process of study and research on the benefits of such methodologies; creation of an “alzheimer garden” in a green area of the hospital complex, in order to develop outdoor activities, in a protected environment, in which guests can move and
be encouraged to practice habitual gestures again; a training and listening course for caregivers.
