Care for Caregivers
Hygge is the Danish concept focused on comfort, wellbeing and positive human connection. It is less about material things and more about creating moments that feel calm and being able to enjoy simple pleasures.
Hygge
HYGGE IS ABOUT CREATING GREAT MOMENTS
of comfort, connection, respect and calm.
Small, intentional kind actions improve the daily experience and emotional security of all our Members and their families.
Respecting
Dignity
Hygge supports dignity by honoring individuals and their uniqueness, never worrying about a “diagnosis”
Using familiar routines and simple pleasures
These familiar routines create a sense of control and a sense of security for our Members
Encourage meaningful connection
Hygge values togetherness without pressure
Support emotional well-being
A calm, unhurried approach can help individuals feel respected and valued, even when communication is challenging
Create a sense of emotional safety and comfort
A calm, caring environment can reduce anxiety, confusion and agition
"No matter where a person is on their life journey, no matter their diagnosis, health status, age, sensory needs, interest or abilities, CADC is here to offer support, hope, and unique experiences that lead to a rediscovery of what makes them happy."
