Ronald graduated with innovative care concept

11-07-2022

We are so proud of our graduate Ronald Vink, who passed his degree programme with an excellent 9! Read more about his pioneering care concept that responds to the individual needs of people with disabilities. We will certainly apply it within Kokon and Livable!

"My graduation project focused on people with disabilities, specifically the group that lives in a care facility. The goal of this thesis was to improve the quality of the living environment and the experience in their home, summarised in the sentence: "Not their home in the care, but the care in their home."

POC is my end product. The personal open-space divider. POC is a variable and future-proof system that gives people in care the freedom of choice again. This results in a home that takes the residents into account. Not only with their limitations, but also with their individual needs. After all, this group has just as much right to its own place as you and me. No more standard rigid layouts and materialisation, but a flexible system that serves the future resident.

Ronald will be working full-time at Kokon in the near future.
