1 In this use case we will focus on a private residential center for elderly with dementia situated in The Hague called Martha Flora. This is a big villa in a calm and green environment where a lot of personal care is given to every resident. Because it is rather expensive and there are not a lot of residents, the nursing home is open to experimenting with newly developed care methods. The price of the robot is also not a problem for the nursing home, as it's a private nursing home where the families of the patients contribute a lot of money yearly.
