About Teun Toebes

‘AN INCLUSIVE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA ARE AND REMAIN EQUAL participants, THAT IS MY DREAM.’

As the eldest in a family of four with a mother who is a nurse, care has always been part of his life. So, the choice to study Higher Vocational Education nursing and Care Ethics and Policy was a logical step, the choice to work with people living with dementia was not. During a compulsory internship, he was introduced to dementia care and has not been able to let go of it since.

Currently, he contributes to dementia care in his own and modern way, by not only observing and studying people living with dementia, but by living with them permanently on the closed ward in a nursing home. He focuses on having fun and maintaining personal contact with all his housemates to create moments of happiness and thus improve their quality of life.
