Abstract |
The Hague has been a member of the age-friendly city network for four years now and this seemed a good moment to make up the balance to provide a starting point for the new period. We do this with: OLD GOLD. The name says so much: a rich colour, something precious and attractive – and OLD. It is a magazine which is all about older people. Specifically the older people who live in The Hague! You can read about what The Hague has done for seniors in the previous years. You find articles about other age-friendly cities around the world such as New York and Bangalore. You can find reports from 30 group discussions that around 500 people took part in during high teas; a look back over four years of Age-Friendly City The Hague; portraits of eight active and inspiring people living in various parts of The Hague who add to their own enjoyment of life every day as well as that of others, and much more. We hope you enjoy reading OldGold! |

Abstract |
Urban ageing is an emerging domain that deals with the population of older people living in cities. The ageing of society is a positive yet challenging phenomenon, as population ageing and urbanisation are the culmination of successful human development. One could argue whether the city environment is an ideal place for people to grow old and live at an old age compared to rural areas. This viewpoint article explores and describes the challenges that are encountered when making cities age-friendly in Europe. Such challenges include the creation of inclusive neighbourhoods and the implementation of technology for ageing-in-place. Examples from projects in two age-friendly cities in The Netherlands (The Hague) and Poland (Cracow) are shown to illustrate the potential of making cities more tuned to the needs of older people and identify important challenges for the next couple of years. Overall, the global ageing of urban populations calls for more age-friendly approaches to be implemented in our cities. It is a challenge to prepare for these developments in such a way that both current and future generations of older people can benefit from age-friendly strategies. |

The implications of a new paradigm of care on the built environment. The Humanitas Deventer model: Innovative practice. |

Dementia, ISSN 1471301219845480. |
Abstract |
As people live longer, rates of long-term conditions such as dementia are increasing and healthcare costs are exponentially increasing. Dementia services recognise there is a need for change; this paper provides an example of how people interacting within an architectural-led care system can positively influence this need for change. The adopted method within this paper is the ‘thinking, making and living’ approach underpinned by a one-time post-occupancy evaluation. The architectural-led care system, the Humanitas© Deventer in the Netherlands, is a good example of a new paradigm of care built on sustainable collaboration, which positively contributes to the well-being of the recipients of care – people with dementia. |

Innovative seniors housing and care models: what we can learn from the Netherlands |

Glass, A. |

Published by |
Seniors Housing and Care Journal, 22(1), 74-81. |
Abstract |
This brief report highlights some innovative seniors housing and care practices from the Netherlands. The first is the Humanitas Apartments for Life, where if and when residents need assisted living or nursing facility level care, it is brought to them, thereby eliminating stigma and relocation issues. Second is the unique dementia village of De Hogeweyk. Both models have specific physical design elements and philosophies that support them and use “small houses” for severe dementia care. Finally, the general approach of community integration that seems to naturally permeate senior living facilities is discussed. This integration takes the form of offering services, such as home care, to the wider community as well as having businesses in the facility that make neighbors feel welcome. |
