Amersfoort – Thijmen Schoorl (21) will enter the De Koperhorst nursing home in 2021 for a part-time job and can start working in the kitchen. He gets to know the elderly and the social aspect appeals to him more than cooking. Thijmen quickly becomes friends with Wouter, Riet, Truus and Marie. All from the department where the residents have dementia. He dances, sings, has fun and jokes with them. Apart from having a lot of fun, he also learns a thing or two from the elders. Wise lessons that, according to Thijmen, are intended for the wider public. So the camera turns on and the videos on TikTok.
