Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I was intrigued being Dutch and never having heard of this. Looked it up and the term village is used very loosely here. As in it is not a village just a complex in actual normal village.
This is a beautiful elegant solution to a heartbreaking issue and I really hope people around the world take notice and learn from this model. One of the main issues for the elderly is losing their freedom and dignity.
I wish my grandfather could have lived in a place more like this when he suffered from dementia.
I don't know what is more fascinating: The fact that this wonderful community exists, or that I could mysteriously understand the Dutch language without really understanding it at all.
I like this way better than The Truman Show. Nice work!
This is amazing. Outside the box thinking
I AM NOT A NUMBER, I AM A FREE MAN!
Thank you for sharing this. What an incredible organization. I totally cried watching it.
Its amazing to me that they get the same amount of funding as the other more "hospital room/TV" type of specialized care housing. It just goes to show that the money is going into the pockets of the top dogs and not back into the care facility.
Otherwise, this is what they could all be like!
Its so wonderful to know that there are such incredible caring people working and volunteering to make the last few years of someone's life truly enjoyable.
I hope the love shared at Hogewey inspires other nursing homes to follow suit.
Could this be made affordable in USA within a co-op model or attaching some kind of rider to health insurance for nursing home care? Not just for dementia patients, but for others who are physically dependent or just in hospice?
Wow this really gets to me emotionally, I would gladly pay increased taxes to support such a living quality increase for these people.
