Take an eJourney into the world’s first Alzheimer’s Village by the public sector
“It is actually just a new neighborhood of the city”, that is how public officer Francis Lacoste introduces the Village Landais Alzheimer, the world’s first Alzheimer’s Village spearheaded by the public sector.
Indeed, restoring normality to the daily life of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease is the main goal of this innovative project mixing urban planning and dementia care in France’s southwestern city of Dax.
Launch on June 11th, the Village is a new home for 120 people living with dementia. They can count with the support of 120 care workers and 120 volunteers, as well as with the company of the citizens of Dax. The Village Landais Alzheimer is an attractive new neighborhood offering Dax citizens with a new media library, a children’s playground, a concert hall, gardens, hairdresser, and a very dynamic social life.
The Global Ageing Network is pleased to offer you with a chance to overcome travel, time and language limitations and discover everything from this innovative project in an innovative way: take an eJourney into the Village Landais Alzheimer.
