Queen Silvia handed out Silviahemmet's certificate for good dementia care to employees of three elderly, care and nursing homes in Alvesta, Nybro and Gislaved, who have completed their education. The ceremony was held in Västra Torsås church in Lönashult.
Stiftelsen Silviahemmet is a Swedish non-profit foundation with the mission to spread knowledge about cognitive illness (dementia) through various educational initiatives. The foundation also runs a day care center on Drottningholm, close to Stockholm.
Being a daughter of a mother with Alzheimer’s, this is a very worthy cause and a sincere thank you your majesty for shining a light and to make known good dementia care - still very rare.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvellous visit this was, well done. Love the red jacket, the Queen looks lovely and appropriately dressed.
ReplyDeleteIt takes special people to work with the elderly. Thank you.

Queen Silvia looks beautiful, as always, and I commend her for her efforts in championing the efforts of caregivers. My mother developed Alzheimer's Disease late in life. I can attest to the specialized care needed for those who suffer from dementia.
ReplyDeleteI love that she has no problem with the elderly lady holding onto her arm, so sweet of the Queen.
ReplyDeleteShe is a very elegant Queen, when you look back over the years at her outfits, stunning.
The King chose well when he chose this beautiful lady to be his Queen.
