At the Roswitha Care Center in Pfäffikon, Canton Schwyz, nine people from the canton of Schwyz with Alzheimer's disease are cared for. The "Ufnau" dementia ward, now in operation for two years, is not only doing pioneering work, but can already look back on a success story. The nursing staff strive daily to fill their patients' gaps with memories. Because: "The heart doesn't get dementia," as ward manager Ruth Nold puts it succinctly. A look behind the scenes.
