Dementia village planned in British Columbia

Village gives residents freedom to walk outside and participate in activities


A planned dementia care village in British Columbia will give residents freedom to walk outside and participate in activities, according to an article on The Globe and Mail website.

The village in Langley, B.C., is designed after models in the U.S. and the Netherlands. It will offer independent accommodations, amenities and programming in a secure environment to a small group of seniors with dementia, supported by an almost equal number of specially trained staff.

The project will consist of six residences with 12 units in each, housing a total of up to 78 people.

The village won't have strict routines and schedules, allowing residents to wake up and have breakfast when they please, and make use of a network of walkways, landscaping and gardens all within a secure perimeter.
