"It’s a unique place, and when you visit you can’t help thinking: if I’m unlucky enough to be diagnosed with dementia, this is the place I’d like to be. And I should add: The Hogeweyk isn’t some exclusive private facility for the super-rich. Working with existing budgets and a lot of creativity, this care community delivers a top-level performance day in, day out."

"Thank you again for your hospitality when we visited back in January. It was a fascinating and illuminating visit."

"Your information and experience had swept the nation and the world and it must feel so amazing to have made deep changes in people's perception of what a care home can be!"

"I am thrilled that work is underway in Canada to establish a Hogeweyk-certified dementia village in Crossmount, Saskatchewan. The design of this village is a testimony to your important work in this field."

"The advisors were engaging, enthusiastic, had a willingness to share, thoughtful, informed, open, honest, insightful with regards to the issues our countries share with our populations and politics. Also we felt we had a very real, informed conversation and we left with a feeling that we could rely on you as partners in the new venture for our own partnership."

"From our embryonic ideas for changing the way dementia care is delivered here in the UK to the emergence and creation of a project that is set to materialise as the first of its kind in the UK, this would not have been possible without the inspirational support of the Be Advice team. Janette, Yvonne and Eloy have coached and believed in our vision and never faltered in their enthusiasm and support for iMind. They continue to support, inform and assist in driving the UK project forward. Both at the planning and operational phase of the development, Be Advice will continue to be an integral part of our iMind team thus guiding and shaping how once a dream can become a reality."

"As the CEO for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. I firmly believe that before there’s a cure, there’s care. Quality, innovative care makes a difference for people with dementia and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. greatly appreciates the dementia care conversation that Be Advice has ignited. Be Advice shares the society’s vision of a more dementia-friendly society and I truly feel that they are providing inspiration for all of us who are striving toward person-centred care – the care that people with dementia deserve."

"As a design anthropologist, researcher and educator I consistently aim to explore cutting-edge design solutions that respond to significant sociocultural issues such as caring for people with dementia. Further research at The Hogeweyk continues to inspire design solutions for the care of older adults in Alberta and beyond."

"On behalf of the Schneider Electric team, thank you very much for the incredibly inspiring visit. It was all anyone could talk about for the rest of the day and truly an unique perspective. You did a tremendous job at highlighting exactly what we spoke about as well as elaborating more in depth and that created a memorable experience that the group will be talking about for quite some time to come.
