It is worth taking note of a CBC News article by reporters Shaurya Kshatri and Yasmine Ghania, December 26th, 2025: “Inside a B.C. ‘dementia village’ that researchers hope could reshape long-term care”.
Langley Village opened in 2019 and about 75 residents live full time at The Village Langley in its six cottage-style homes.
“The Village is now part of a new research project led by Simon Fraser University (SFU) in B.C. and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., which aims to understand what this kind of setting actually does for people with dementia and find ways to replicate some of its elements across the country.”
“The research team’s goal is to provide evidence that can inform future policy to promote and implement innovative approaches in long-term care that will create a normalized and naturally rich, supportive care community,” says SFU Professor Chaudhury.
We look forward to learning from the findings of their research.
