Dementia Villages, the groundbreaking model of care pioneered by Hogeweyk in the Netherlands, provides a holistic and supportive environment tailored specifically for individuals living with dementia. These assisted living “cities within a city” are a radical alternative to traditional memory care units within long-term care facilities.
Join Bader Philanthropies and Grantmakers In Aging for a conversation exploring the key principles and design elements of the Hogeweyk approach and the feasibility and benefits of establishing similar models in the United States. Partners working to develop Livasu Village in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, will also share how they are shifting the ways people with dementia live in their community.
