Alderman of Ballegooijen: "We are now in a first phase. We want to hear what people with dementia and their caregivers need. It is very poignant to hear the stories of caregivers. People who provide informal care for many years, also for partners or families with dementia. They want more support and information. There must be more support that addresses the social aspects of a life of insanity. We will work on that as a municipality. "
