Great video, as always! Here in Sweden we talk a lot about having a salutogenic approach when dealing with elderly. I would encourage anyone with a family member suffering from dementia to read up on "sense of coherence" and how it affects the decline in the induviduals mental health. Like you said, social activity is really important to increase the individuals sense of coherence, which a nursing home can provide if family members/ caregivers can't.
