The Village, located in Langley, BC, is Canada’s first village-style residence for people living with dementia and memory-related conditions.
Inspired by similar communities in the Netherlands and the U.S., The Village offers independent, cottage-style living, surrounded by five acres of grounds. Enjoy accessible walking paths, a vegetable garden, farm animals and water garden. You’ll be able to explore your surroundings safely and securely.
Our focus is on providing an enriched living experience where each person lives a purposeful and meaningful life. We don’t see our resident’s disability, we see the whole person.
