Vilans


The informative game ‘DemiZorg’ allows informal care providers and healthcare professionals to practice caring for loved ones and clients living with dementia. Informal care providers can practice four frequently occurring care situations when caring for people with dementia. This includes dressing them, showering, eating and going somewhere. The game was developed in close collaboration with informal care providers. It puts you in the position of an informal care provider and allows you to choose from various actions, each with their own result. The goal of the game is to better prepare informal care providers and healthcare professionals for difficult and unpredictable reactions from seniors living with dementia. The game teaches them how to handle explosive episodes of demented seniors and aspires to help seniors live independently for as long as possible
