"Working with Eloy and Iris during the training sessions was the best thing that could have happened for our teams. Just when we thought we had dementia care figured out, you came along and opened our eyes to the lack of “normalcy” that even “high quality” facilities here in this country continue to lack. We are firmly committed to bringing that normalcy of daily routine to our new dementia focused community center here in South Bend Indiana! This will be a revolutionary model of care…and, truly, care the way it should always be. Thank you so much for your insights and the time spent with REAL services, Alzheimer’s and Dementia Services, and Center for Hospice Care. I hope that we are able to get together again in the future!"

"Sessions were well presented and well received. It created enthusiasm and creative thinking, which then promoted lively discussions. Using the 7 pillars as framework greatly assisted with understanding the concept and emphasising the importance of social involvement. The style of presentation was friendly and warm and encouraged questions and feedback. Even though the whole training was completed via zoom meetings, the involvement of the team was very much encouraged."

"Since 2015, several politicians, managers and employees from the municipality of Kristiansand, Norway, have been visiting The Hogeweyk on various occasions. We became inspired to build new care homes called Strømmehaven, which opened in 2020. Experiencing The Hogeweyk as well as the guidings and workshops by Be, have been a very good contribution to develop both our buildings and our care concept. The consultants at Be are always giving us a warm welcome, manage to give good and detailed explanations about the vision and principles in The Hogeweyk, and dare to ask challenging questions which have been important and helpful for our own process of understanding and decision making. We look forward to our further cooperation!"

"I would like to say how wonderful it was to have Jannette and Eloy with us last week to tell us all about The Hogeweyk Care Concept. Our staff were very impressed and they have taken away many ideas to think about and in particular how they can make small changes to normalise the lives of all our residents and not those just with dementia."

"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."

"Your workshop was fantastic and will help many groups in Calgary improve their care delivery for people with dementia."
