'Dementia' villages

Katek It looks amazing! I've just read your link and it led me on to this:

dementiavillage.com/

Haven't got time to read it yet, but I think it's the 'official' site for Hogewey.

Should have said that I've read all the info in your link Katek - not just the link!

Heard about this a while ago. I believe there is a similar facility somewhere in UK.
I think it's a great idea.

There is a care home in Suffolk that has built a replica old style High St. for the benefit of residents. The dementia villa is under construction in Warrington so Google tells me.

One part of me says its a fab idea and the other part says its a bit like building a habitat in a zoo. Must have major think about this.

Having worked with dementia sufferers, I think that many people would like to live in this way.
Some, tho, could feel confused by it if they were aware that it was not their usual home town. It could be like a bad dream.
Of course, having to deal with a care home environment can't be much fun for someone with dementia, either.

I noticed that the one in the Netherlands costs €5000 a month - I'm not sure how this compares with the cost of care in this country.
I suppose having all those doctors and nurses on hand would be handy for anyone wishing to end their life under the Netherlands Euthanasia Laws
