Now people with Alzheimer disease can have normal life outside the nursing homes... Read on to know how

France is building in Paris,a specially designed village to allow people with Alzheimer’s disease to continue living normal lives outside of a nursing home. The new village will be built in Dax, in the southwest of France near border with Spain. People living in the village – who will be called residents instead of patients – will have their own supermarket, health centre, hairdresser, brasserie, gym, library and a farm. The village will be enclosed for the residents’ safety but they will be able to wander round freely within its walls. Nursing staff will be dressed in plain clothes and people will be given less medication, while volunteers will help to run the village. Its developers hope the 29 million euro village will allow people with Alzheimer’s and dementia to lead more active and happier lives. Residents of the new village will live in shared houses and everybody living there will have Alzheimer’s disease, which causes the majority of cases of dementia. Alzheimer’s can cause people to become forgetful and have difficulty communicating and concentrating.
