Table 5 Summary of walk-along interview with resident with dementia in October 2021

Mrs. points to the vegetable gardens and says that they used to come here often. I mention that the park has changed a bit lately. Mrs. confirms: 'Yes, definitely. Some say it will get even better. I hope I will still be here to experience that.' When I ask her what she thinks of it now, she says: 'I like it already.' We talk about needlework again. Mrs. says that she once made a scarf for the father. When asked whether the lady ever comes to The Chapel, she says that some people eat there in the evening, but the lady does not. ‘It is very cozy inside and we eat with a whole club. I like it very much. I like living here. I like to participate in things and have a chat.' Mrs. used to go to church on Sunday. She still does this sometimes, her children pick her up afterwards

We walk back to the entrance via the gravel path. The lady says that her children do not allow her to walk alone: ​​'I am not allowed to walk alone. I might fall. Someone always has to go with you.' Mrs. says she sometimes walks in the park and points to the gravel path. We continue along the path past the entrance of The Chapel. Mrs. looks at her feet: ' It's also difficult to walk here, isn't it, for us it is. There's all sorts of things on the floor.' Mrs. points to the twigs and acorns on the floor

When we enter the location we meet the location manager. We say hello. The location manager points to the knitting and says she really likes it. Then the doctor arrives. Mrs. exclaims enthusiastically: "Ah, doctor van T. Will you come and visit me for a while?" The doctor says that he wanted to drop by, but that the door was locked and that he has to go now. A healthcare worker sees the doctor and speaks to him. They walk down the hallway together. When I walk with the lady towards her room, we pass the doctor again. Then she asks: "Hey doctor van T, did you come to see me?" The doctor again replies that he came by but that the door was locked. "I'll come again next time. Then we'll have a cup of coffee together
