CLICK HERE to donate to the Hawthorndale Care Village project.

The Hawthorndale Care Village project is a new model of community-based aged and dementia care based on the model of Dutch care village, De Hogeweyk.

This concept replicates everyday life in a suburban neighbourhood within a safe, secure setting.

Those living with dementia will not be in a separate wing but fully integrated as part of the wider village.

The design of the village, the philosophy and way its residents are cared for is centred around evidence that suggests familiarity, comfort and stimulation has the greatest impact on overall health and well-being.
