Audio Article #106: Living with Dementia in Dignity: The Dutch Hogeweyk Concept
Update: 2025-04-02
Description
The first “Dementia Village” opened in the Netherlands about 15 years ago. At its heart lies a different paradigm – the creation of neighborhoods, replacing the traditional nursing care institution for residents suffering from severe dementia. Since its inception, dozens of Dementia Villages have been developed, primarily in Europe and Canada. The Hogeweyk® philosophy is based on the deinstitutionalization of care and the emancipation of people living with dementia, providing them with wellbeing by including them in society.
