Social Networking

The first "network of dementia-friendly districts" in Austria was established in Vienna's third district in 2014. The present study collects the perspective of those affected for this network, namely people with early dementia and their caring relatives. The cooperation partner was Alzheimer Austria. The survey was carried out using group interviews using Ralf Bohnsack's documentary method.

The study develops generalizable types and derives recommendations for action on how networking can be made positive in four areas: in the closest social environment, in the wider environment (community), in collaboration with professional service providers and with other people who are similarly affected
