Most people want to have a warm family to make them feel safe and secure.For the old with dementia(癡呆),living with their family is of great importance.
SilviaBo,named after Queen Silvia is a project made by Skanska and IKEA in partnership with Queen Silvia,which is aimed at perfecting the level of dementia care.
BoKlok,a joint venture(合資企業(yè)) created by Skanska and IKEA,introduces a new house which is cheap and environmentally friendly.
All of the apartments' facilities are designed uniformly,like furniture and bathroom equipment,which helps keep the costs down.SilviaBo even offers help to the people with lower income,so they can pay what they couldn't afford formerly.
H.M Queen Silvia participates in the plan of the new BoKlok project,including the color of the toilet seats and shower design. "She truly devotes herself to this project.This is her baby," said Jonas Spangenberg,BoKlok's CEO.That's because the Queen understands people with dementia are forced to leave their homes and that keeping them in their homes is a better way.
In March 2017,the first SilviaBo home began to be built and Queen Silvia was there to watch it.She said that her mother suffered from Alzheimer's,one type of dementia.Therefore,SilviaBo homes were important to her.
"To take care of the old,the cost is high," Spangenberg told CNN. "It's much cheaper for society and the public to help them at home." These creative solutions are the key to giving people with dementia a good quality of life.There is no better gift than staying at their homes with their loving family.
