Dealing with Alzheimer’s Patients Requires Thinking Outside the Box.
Not every problem has to be difficult to solve.
For example, a Danish Rest Home for Alzheimer’s Patients had a problem with their patients wandering out to the bus stop and sitting on the bench. Some just sat and waited. Others boarded the bus.
The solution: A virtual bus stop - complete with bench, clock, and timetable - set up inside the rest home. The residents are happy and the staff no longer have to keep an eye on departing buses.
Brilliant.
