In this episode of 'Hot for Your Health,' Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Teun Toebes, a 25-year-old nurse, healthcare innovator, and global humanitarian activist, whose mission is to revolutionize the way the world views and cares for people with dementia. Teun is the creator of the award-winning documentary Human Forever and author of the global bestseller The Housemates, both of which explore his unique journey living for over three years in a nursing home alongside dementia patients.
Teun shares powerful insights from his global research across 11 countries, offering a fresh perspective on prioritizing “quality of life” over “quality of care.” Together, they discuss the societal stigma around dementia, the emotional impact of human-centered care, and innovative approaches to integrating people with dementia into communities. From intergenerational schools in the U.S. to inclusive living arrangements in Moldova, Teun highlights the global need to replace fear and medicalization with dignity, identity, and belonging.
This episode is a call to action to rethink dementia care worldwide and embrace a more compassionate, inclusive future. Tune in to be inspired by Teun’s remarkable vision and unwavering commitment to humanity.
