The founder of a small Danish nursing home, May Bjerre Eiby has no interest in specific dementia diagnoses or pharmaceuticals, since neither improves her residents’ quality of life. She and her staff have instead developed a controversial new approach inspired by methods introduced by Florence Nightingale 150 years ago. “Compassion Treatment” prioritizes hugs, touch, talking, humour, eye contact, cake, nature, bubbles and the joy of community. Having lost her father due to neglect at a nursing home, May is determined to inspire a complete change in the way people with dementia are treated in the healthcare system, prioritizing holistic care and kindness over unnecessary medications. This immersive, life-affirming journey features unique access into intimate and sometimes intense moments between residents and caregivers, providing a rarely seen, uplifting experience of aging with dignity, grace and joy.
