Azalee Group recently had the pleasure of welcoming students from the Copenhagen Honours College in Nursing at the University College of Copenhagen. This visit, the fourth from the college, provided an opportunity to exchange knowledge and perspectives on elderly care, intergenerational integration, and inclusive caregiving practices.
The students began their visit with a tour of Azalee Annex, where they observed how personalized elderly care is provided in a comfortable and supportive environment. They then explored A-Cube, where they learned about the integration of elderly care, childcare, and disability services. The students observed how shared spaces and activities encourage meaningful interactions between different generations, fostering mutual support and social engagement. They also had the opportunity to see how caregivers adapt their approach to meet the diverse needs of residents, creating an environment where individuals of all abilities can thrive together.
Following the tour, the students attended a lecture by Dr. Koji Kurusu, CEO of Azalee Group, who shared the organization’s philosophy of balancing technology with a strong foundation in basic, hands-on care. The discussion emphasized the importance of daily essentials such as nutrition, hydration, and movement in maintaining the well-being of elderly individuals.
Niels Sandholm, Head of Research and Associate Professor for the nursing program, noted that the visit was inspiring, particularly the way intergenerational care and inclusivity are embedded into daily life. He emphasized that one of the most meaningful takeaways was the focus on basic care—nutrition, hydration, and exercise—which is naturally integrated into everyday routines.“We are very grateful for the opportunity to visit Azalee Group with our honors students. It is inspiring to see how intergenerational care and inclusivity are embedded into daily life here. One of the key takeaways for us is the focus on the basics—nutrition, hydration, and exercise are naturally integrated into care, and that is something we find very meaningful.”
Nursing student Cecilie Brandt Lund observed how physical activity is incorporated into different care settings and expressed interest in applying this approach in Denmark to help maintain residents’ activity levels and support their sense of purpose and independence.“What stood out to me was how physical activity is incorporated into different care settings. I hope to bring this learning back to Denmark—to encourage and maintain residents’ activity levels and support their sense of purpose and independence.”
We are grateful for the opportunity to share our approach to care with students and educators from around the world and look forward to welcoming another group from the Copenhagen Honours College in Nursing in the fall. Through these visits, we hope to continue learning from one another and exploring ways to improve care for elderly individuals and people with diverse needs.
