In-Touch Horizon Europe: a sister initiative of HORUS.

We announce a new sister initiative of the Horus project: In-Touch Horizon Europe.

A European project that aims to improve the quality of life of people with advanced dementia.

Led by University College Cork (UCC), a research group from 13 institutions in the EU, UK and Canada will investigate a comprehensive non-pharmacological intervention for dementia with a study to be tested in 56 nursing homes in seven countries and will focus on palliative care, staff training and improving well-being through multi-sensory activities tailored to residents and their families.

 

Through the development of innovative, non-pharmacological interventions, this study will prioritize comfort, quality of life and social engagement for people with dementia and their families.

This study will be tested in 56 nursing homes in seven countries and will focus on palliative care, staff training and improving well-being through multisensory activities tailored to residents and their families.

Undoubtedly, this project is an important step forward in the care of people with advanced dementia in Europe.
