She Worked in a Nursing Home and Asked Why Her Parents Would Have to Die There. Then She Built a Village.

from bcdW Magazine · host bcdW Magazine

Yvonne van Amerongen asked one question in 1992: if dementia patients are confused by their environment, why don't we change the environment? Seventeen years later, De Hogeweyk opened near Amsterdam.

Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Mumbai, Dallas, and Nairobi all read this differently. bcdW Current Today · Amsterdam · April 30, 2026 · [bcd-w.xyz](http://bcd-w.xyz)
