A new care facility is being planned in the Vancouver for seniors with dementia, following the “dementia village” model pioneered by the award winning Dutch facility Hogeweyk.
Similar to the village in the Netherlands, the facility being developed in Vancouver “fosters free movement of people with dementia within a homey setting, and involvement of them in everyday activities within the household or the wider, secure neighbourhood,” says Providence Health Care (PHC), the organization that is building the village in Vancouver.
