Хороший уход все же есть.

many Nursing Homes.

talk, hear, see or remember.

situation can vary a lot even

their Opinions.

ways; e.g. Board games, Photo
elicitation, Observation.

9. Dementic people participating
• Viewing and Tracking: sitting and watching
Body language and participation: the clap and stomp
excited
Speech and Sound: speaking to nurse and other
The expression of emotions: laughing heartily,
look at each other and clap
Unresponsive / passivity: sitting straight-faced, looking
around
Active withdrawal: moving the wheelchair away.
(Vuorinen 2012, Master's thesis work)

10. Participating – Key to Well being
• “A long and healthy life and well-being is
linked to social life. Minimal interaction is
more harmful than smoking and obesity.”
• ”Долгая и здоровая жизнь связана с
жизнью в обществе. Недостаток
взаимодействия с другими является более
вредным, чем курение и ожирение”
(Markku T. Hyyppä)

11. • “If I know all knowledge and mysteries, but do not have
love, I am nothing.”
• ”Если я владею всем знанием и тайнами, но не знаю
любви, то я ничто.”
