Objective
The main objective of this PhD project is to assess the effect of green care farms on quality of life of
demented elderly.
In this project we study differences in quality of life of demented elderly participating in
day care on green care farms and compare this with quality of life of demented elderly participating in
institutional day care.
Secondary objective of this PhD project is to define so-called “farm values” that
might contribute to quality of life.
Study design
To assess the effect of green care farms we are performing a quasi-experimental study.
