Title

Innovating dementia care; implementing characteristics of green care farms in other long-term care settings.

Published in

nt Psychogeriatr 2018; advance online publication (ahead of print)

Publiekssamenvatting

People with dementia at green care farms (GCFs) are physically more active, have more social interactions, are involved in a larger variety of activities, and come outdoors more often than those in other long-term dementia care settings. These aspects may positively affect health and well-being. This study explored which and how characteristics of GCFs could be implemented in other long-term dementia care settings, taking into account possible facilitators and barriers.
