The Village Langley, B.C.
‘Agrace’s Dementia Village will be the first of its kind in the United States. It is being modelled after the internationally recognized Hogeweyk Dementia Village in the Netherlands’. It is being built in Madison, Wisconsin.
The first Village of this model in Canada was established in Langley, B.C. a few years ago. Subsequently, also in B.C., Providence Living established its first Village and is now in the process of implementing the Village model for all its long-term care home beds. Where there’s a will, there’s a way- in both the for profit and not-for-profit long-term care home sectors.
Please encourage your MPP to advocate for a provincial strategic plan in Ontario to bring innovative models of care to its long-term care homes. This change can’t come soon enough.
