It literally means 'respect to the inner', 'I bow to you'. With Namasté, we at Atlant want to improve the quality of life of people with dementia. We do this by giving them more personal attention, by matching people's needs. It is sometimes small things, with sincere attention and a big effect. In a beautiful story – with many thanks to everyone involved – and a beautiful film, we explain what the effect of Namasté can be for people with dementia. Read , watch and listen . Mrs. Bakhuijs has been living on Crocus for almost two years now. She has trouble making contact with others and is searching, walking around impatiently. 'I am bored. If you want to talk to someone, he will walk away. Shall we go for a walk?' Mrs. Bakhuijs enters the living room. Marjan asks if she wants a hand massage. "No, I just had my hands under the tap." "Shall we not do one?" "As long as it doesn't take too long." Marian gets to work. Mrs Bakhuijs 'Oh, your hands are so warm.' She beams. She rattles on and on, tells everything. Marian is ready. 'How was that Mrs. Bakhuijs?' 'That's nice.' Read the full story here Namaste Namasté is een programma waarin twee maal per dag op een liefdevolle, aandachtige manier een contactmoment georganiseerd wordt. Het gaat om de beleving, de zintuigen worden geprikkeld en herinneringen opgeroepen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn massage geven, samen een activerend spel doen, koken, liedjes zingen en bewegen. Doel ervan is een fijne daginvulling te geven, mensen te laten ontspannen of een glimlach te veroorzaken. Namasté werd in Amerika ontwikkeld en wordt in Nederland door het VUmc onderzocht. Afdeling Crocus van de Heemhof werd voor het onderzoek geselecteerd. Judith van Schagen, team leader Heemhof Crocus department, makes up the standings. 'We consciously use it twice a day. I do a round every morning. I can enjoy that big smile on the faces. For me, care not only has a nurturing but also a welfare side. People can do so much more than just drinking coffee.' Judith opens a cupboard with instruments and all kinds of objects. 'The employees are trained in advance, for example in aromatherapy. We have also been able to purchase materials such as this box that smells like the sea. Then the memories will come to you. You hear that a gentleman used to go to the sea with his wife.'
