🚀 Exploring Denmark's cutting-edge eldercare solutions with Canadian stakeholders 🔎 🇩🇰 In May, we hosted a delegation of Canadian stakeholders to Denmark for our Eldercare Tour 2024. We were joined by a group of owners, directors of operations, directors of care, nurses, and architects of nursing and retirement homes in Ontario and Nova Scotia. During our four-day delegation, we visited several nursing homes to study how the built environment and care services promote dignity, spark joy, and facilitate autonomy for residents. We also explored ageing-in-place initiatives, focusing on preventive rehabilitation, home healthcare, and different housing typologies such as seniors' cooperatives. Throughout the visits, attendees experienced first-hand the value of innovative technologies in creating relaxation, enhancing efficiency, easing daily activities, and supporting healthcare workers. These solutions are integral to Denmark's internationally acclaimed approach to eldercare. Showcased companies included Guldmann, Pressalit, Wavecare, Wellness Nordic A/S, and MusiCure 🎥 Watch the video below for a glimpse into our rewarding trip to Denmark, where we learned about innovative eldercare solutions and enjoyed our free time with an amazing dinner and a scenic cruise through the Copenhagen Canal. Will we see you in 2025? 🗓 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to our eldercare expert Katie Tucker.
