About the Study Tour
Around Europe, entire villages are being raised catering specifically to persons living with dementia. These assisted living "cities within a city" are a radical alternative to traditional dementia wards of nursing homes.
The delegates of this first of a kind study tour will discover concret implementations of this promissing model and how they successfuly normalize the care of severe dementia.
Alzheimer and other dementia cases will triple by 2050, reaching 131 million people.
In 2009, now world-renowned Hogeweyk was inaugurated, the world's first Dementia Village. This was the birth of a promising new approach to the care of older persons suffering from severe dementia.
Alternatively to segregated wards, Hogeweyk offers all amenities of a typical Dutch neighborhood or small village to its about 160 residents.
Interest in these kinds of memory care centers is on the rise as more seniors face memory-related losses. Nearly 47 million people worldwide were living with dementia in 2015, and that's projected to top 131 million in 2050, according to Alzheimer's Disease International.
As a delegate of this study tour, you will explore on-site the details of the Hogeweyk project and daily operation, as well as those of the other two European Dementia Villages inspired at Dutch model: Il Paese Ritrovato, in Italy and Village Landais, in France.
You will benefit from additional technical visits and presentations to fully understand how the Villages enroll in their nation's evolving health systems, policies, and values. Finally, join a high-level networking and discussion environment, grouping together with other leading executives in aging from around the world.
