AMSTELVEEN The Alzheimer Café Amstelveen will take place on Thursday evening 23 June in the Westend district center. Discussion leader Job van Amerongen will discuss home automation with Caroline Smeets, physiotherapist at Movision. This is technology that can be applied at home so that people with dementia are self-reliant for longer.
Examples of home technology are motion detectors, intercom or video observation, alarm buttons or automatic drug delivery. Home technology can also be used to warn children, friends or neighbors if something is wrong. This offers relatives the opportunity to provide care at a distance.
Caroline Smeets explains the developments in the field of home technology in the Alzheimer Café. The use and operation of the electronics are also discussed. It also addresses the question of human contacts when technological aids are used to enable people to continue living at home more safely. Of course there is every opportunity to ask questions and exchange experiences.
The Alzheimer Café in the Westend community center starts at 7.30 pm (doors open from 7 pm). Westend is located at Westewijkplein 3. Pre-registration is not necessary and admission is free. For more information: alzheimer-nederland.nl/amstelland
