Description
At the Tallhojden nursing home in Sodertalje, Sweden, a fake bus stop has been installed in a hallway to ease the minds of anxious dementia patients eager to leave. "It is quite common especially with Alzheimer's and a dementia diagnosis that you want to go home," says Caroline Wahlberg, the manager of the retirement home. In a brightly lit corridor, a bench is pushed up against the wall under a map of the city and an authentic-looking bus stop sign with the city's municipal transport logo. "This automatically becomes a good tool to be able to divert and be able to sit down and talk about trips," says Caroline. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
