In her profession, she had the opportunity to talk with numerous people every day and attend various social gatherings. On getting diagnosed with dementia, Gretchen was crushed. With the passage of time, her situation deteriorated and now she lives in a care center. As she used to go out every day and for a major period of her life, staying indoors is difficult for her. She becomes frustrated and often tries to leave her room in order to go outdoors.

4	4	Robert (65) lives in Delft with his son, daughter-in-law, and a grandkid (7). He loves to interact and spend time with his grandkid, for example play at the playground in their neighbourhood. Last summer he got diagnosed with early staged dementia. Since the dementia is in early stage he is still capable to perform most of his daily tasks like cooking, doing laundry and getting dressed. But sometimes he gets unaware of his surroundings and tries to leave the house. Therefore there is a need for constant guidance to prevent him from going out and getting hurt or lost. As both of his children are working and the grandkid goes to school, there is no one at home to take care of him during datetime. Hence his family decided to enrol him in a day care centre. His children drop him off at a Dementia care centre at 8:00 in the morning and pick him up back at 18:00 in the evening while returning from work. When Robert is at the day care centre, he misses his grandkid and attempts to leave the centre. Then there are days when he believes that his grandkid is missing and he needs to go out to find him. When the caretakers notice his attempts to leave, they can convince him to stay inside, because he will see his grandkid in the evening. Most of the times Robert is able to understand and listens to his caretaker. On the days he is inconsolable his caretaker calls his son to speak with him.

7	7	Anna is 35 years old. She has two children, which are 2 and 4 years old. She works as a caretaker at a care center for people with demetia. She generally likes her job, enjoying the conversations with the residents, but does somewhat rely on volunteers to keep her going. On the days where they are not helping around the center, she feels overwhelmed with the amount of people doing things they shouldn't. This, combined with having to take care of her young children, causes her to be under a lot of stress. This has even caused her to snap at some of the residents - something she's not proud of. She desperately wants an assistant to take care of some of the minor tasks around the center, because Anna, like her coworkers, just has too much on her plate at the moment. She thinks every person, regardless of age, personality or dementia, should be treated with respect, even if they don't respect her. However, because of the amount of people annoying her on busy days, she finds it hard to act on this idea.
