Anfang der Woche haben wir unser Team-Outfit gegen Putztücher getauscht und das Omi & Opi Haus R13 in Potsdam zum Strahlen gebracht.
Aber es ging um viel mehr als nur Fenster putzen:
Wir durften einen Blick in den Alltag einer einzigartigen Wohngemeinschaft für Menschen mit Demenz werfen.
Das Omi & Opi Haus ist eine private Wohngemeinschaft für Menschen mit Demenz – gegründet von Angehörigen,
damit ein liebevolles, selbstbestimmtes Zuhause entstehen kann. Hier leben und arbeiten Bewohnende, ihre Familien und Pflegedienstmitarbeitende eng zusammen – als ein großes Team.
Wenn auch ihr dieses besondere Projekt unterstützen wollt: Spenden sind herzlich willkommen.
Besucht die Website des Hauses für mehr Informationen.
Und für alle, die mehr Einblicke hinter die Kulissen wünschen:
Folgt dem Omi & Opi-Haus auch auf Instagram!
Ein kleiner Einsatz, der uns große Freude geschenkt hat – wir kommen bestimmt wieder! 🌟
