Description:
This is a program that aims to improve the quality of life for older adults in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, by providing social activities, entertainment, and companionship
Overview:
Livsglede for Elderly is a non-profit foundation that contributes to creating meaningful everyday life for the elderly. Livsgledehjem is a national certification scheme and a quality stamp for institutions where the elderly live, which ensures that the residents get individual activities and good days. Joy of life kindergartens and joy of life schools regularly visit the elderly through well-being-creating activities that provide golden intergenerational meetings, mutual learning and mastery. Committed zealots in our local associations create joy in life through pleasant events in their immediate environment.
Objectives:
Our concepts help to break down sector silos, and increase commitment and volunteerism locally. Children and young people experience that they are useful, seen and mastered, which can prevent young people from feeling alienated and mentally ill. At the same time, they are an additional resource for nursing homes and institutions across the country. The goal is to create win-win situations and good neighbourliness, and at the same time contribute to operationalizing the UN's sustainability goals.
Initiatives:
Intergenerational initiative with transversal targets in the community, very inclusive. It facilitates the reduction of loneliness by bringing people from all ages together
