Imagine a care home for people with dementia organised like a neighbourhood. Living units for six to seven people line real streets where the sun shines and a gentle breeze blows. And, yes, sometimes there’s a real downpour, just when residents are leaving the grocery store or the café to go home. There is a square with a fountain and some benches around it to meet up. There is a hairdresser, a restaurant, and there are several hubs for activities, such as the music society or the baking club. There is only one way out, and that door is guarded. But within the facility, people with dementia are free to move and live their lives as normally as possible. Caregivers help to organise the households and trained gardeners and shopkeepers support safety and well-being.
