A Unique Village In The World Where Only Dementia Patients Live

Dementia Patients Village


In the European country of France, there is a unique village, all the residents of which are patients with dementia, a mental dysfunction disease. Dementia affects the brain, causing memory loss and a specific type of protein that activates it.


'Dementia' is a branch of Alzheimer's, a brain degeneration or dysfunctional disease. Dozens of such diseases are a branch of dementia and Alzheimer's. It mostly affects the elderly, but people of any age can get the disease, and as it is said to be incurable, catching it at an early stage helps prevent it.


If the treatment is caught early enough, it is possible to reduce the level of this protein amyloid beta with drugs, and usually, this protein begins to increase ten years before the disease and its symptoms are often unrecognized.


According to the British broadcaster BBC, the village built by the French government in 2020 for 17 million euros is actually a medical center, where only people who suffer from dementia are accommodated.


The said village houses 120 male and female Alzheimer's patients brought in from all over France, with an equal number of volunteers stationed there to supervise them.


The said village is in a way similar to the Old House, but the patients are not provided with traditional treatment facilities, rather they are given opportunities to live, live, and work according to their will in a natural environment rather than drugs.


In the said village, coffee and tea houses including vegetable shops, barber shops, and all convenience shops have been built, where volunteers work, and if no one brings money, nothing is done but they are treated cheerfully. They come and are given everything they need.


Interestingly, everyone living there knows that they are suffering from dementia and have been placed there for treatment. The doctors supervising the said village claim that the diseases of the patients have either stopped or reduced while staying there.


At the same time, doctors said that in the village, if the severity of any patient's disease is observed, it is reduced by medicines and it is also closely monitored.
