Update project status
In the past year, interest from the professional groups in this project has declined. Volunteers only signed up in dribs and drabs to properly inform nursing home staff about how they can optimize the oral health of their residents as much as possible. In addition, the e-learning module needs a thorough update, which costs money. The accreditation of this operation has also expired. That is why the board of the Ivoren Cross has put this project on hold.

There is no doubt that it is still necessary for the elderly to maintain good oral health. As Ivoren Kruis, however, we do not receive a subsidy from the government and we therefore have to prioritize how we use the funds. If you have good ideas for subsidy pots and/or a different set-up for such a project, we will certainly be recommended. You can contact us via board@ivorenkruis.nl.
