Green Care Farms: An Innovative Type of Adult Day Service to Stimulate Social Participation of People With Dementia.

To explore the value of day services at green care farms (GCFs) in terms of social participation for people with dementia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people with dementia who attended day services at a GCF (GCF group, = 21), were on a waiting list (WL) for day services at a GCF (WL group, = 12), or attended day services in a regular day care facility (RDCF group, = 17) and with their family caregivers. People with dementia in the GCF and WL group were primarily males, with an average age of 71 and 76 years, respectively, who almost all had a spousal caregiver.
