Note(s)The Village provides a community nursing facility for dementia patients requiring access to full medical care within a home-from-home environment. Instead of being contained within a single block, the 'village' consists of single-story household-like clusters with access to secure, private courtyards, as well as communal areas, giving a mixture of tranquil, spacious and varied living areas.
