I am commenting on the dementia village. Video on this page.
ReplyDeleteU.K In our care homes dementia residents have the least freedom. Kept herded together to be able to manage them. At prices like £1,000 a week per reisident,a dementia village should be easily be affordable. But i feel that in the UK we will be waiting until doomsday for such facilties
to become available, let alone the norm.
