摘要

Demographic change and the increasing prevalence of dementia pose considerable challenges for our care system. Small-scale homelike facilities for people with dementia are increasingly being discussed as an alternative to nursing homes. This article analyzes this concept from a public health perspective and summarizes its advantages and limitations. An expert on dementia shared-housing from Hamburg reports on practical experience, while a family caregiver assesses the model’s future viability from her personal perspective. Overall, this alternative form of housing demonstrates that small-scale, relationship-oriented care for people with dementia is possible, even if structural and economic limitations exist. Its value lies less in economic aspects than in a new idea of what a good life with dementia can mean.
