Teun Toebes lives on a closed dementia ward
Teun Toebes is a 24-year-old student nurse and has spent the past three years living alongside dementia patients in a care home in the Netherlands.
Risk-free, insurance-minded efficiency is favoured over a personalised model, disregarding any type of self-management and in turn, self-worth. "They never had the question before because no one wants to live in a nursing home... 95% of the people living in a nursing home don't live there voluntarily.What’s it like?Teun’s room is 11 square metres and he shares a bathroom with his housemates."But on the other hand, it's also the grief of my housemates... I really feel the sadness of them every day," he adds.
Some people could potentially see Teun’s move as a critique of current dementia nursing care, but he assures this mission is"not about a personal attack to the carers".
