More generally, you can say that it is about avoiding what the “Eden” founder Bill Thomas calls “care disorders”: loneliness, helplessness and boredom.

• Loneliness: Is the pain we feel when we want, but cannot share the presence with anyone.
• Boredom: Is the pain we feel when we lack variation and spontaneity in everyday life
• Helplessness: Is the pain we feel when we always receive care and do not get the chance give someone our care.

The focus in the nursing home should first of all be, the residents home and then secondly a workplace. Everyday life should be governed by the wishes and needs of the residents instead of medical plans and care schedules. A real home, where residents at least determine more and where equality in human relationships affects everyday life. There must be focus on cosines, everyday life and the individual person.
