The World Series of Design: France's Cutting Edge Dementia Village

Our 'World Series of Design' continues with an insider's view of a unique dementia village in France, where extensive research is underway as to how living a life of seemingly unfettered freedom in a safe environment is being tested against medication levels, depression, and anxiety. You’ll discover how interaction with the landscape, personal possessions, and the use of light and dark in design principles is creating a dynamic new model in dementia care environments. Guest: Gaëlle Marie-Bailleul, Psychogeriatrician at Le Village Landais World Alzheimer Report 2023 - View/Dowload The New Yorker Magazine: "A French Village's Radical Vision of a Good Life with Alzheimer's" For links to the resources named in this and all our episodes, head over to our podcast page at ThirdAge.Design.
