About the Living Lab in Ageing & Long-term Care
The Living Lab in Ageing & Long-term Care is a long-term partnership involving four educational institutions: Maastricht University, Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, Gilde Zorgcollege and VISTA College, along with nine healthcare organisations, including MeanderGroep Zuid-Limburg, Sevagram, Envida, Cicero Zorggroep, Zuyderland, Vivantes, Land van Horne, Proteion and De Zorggroep.
The mission of the Living Lab is to use scientific research to contribute to:
- the quality of life of older individuals and their families;
- the quality of care;
- the quality of employees and their work in long-term care for older people.
At the Living Lab, people from different sectors, like practice of care, policy, research, and education, work together on projects. They learn and share knowledge by asking questions, creating methods, and interpreting results. These tasks happen in various places, both inside and outside different organisations.
