00:00Lodi is one of more than 12 million people living with dementia in Europe.
00:11At this facility in France, people with dementia are encouraged to do as much as possible on their own.
00:20We will try to orient our activities in terms of their hobbies and what interests them, their interest centers.
00:26And they will not see this side, they will just see the kind of fun and pleasure.
00:33I think that's what they need in this type of disease.
00:37The village L'Ande Alzheimer in Dax opened in 2020.
00:42It's France's first and only village Alzheimer's.
00:46There is a small salon, a library and a supermarket.
00:50The goal is to make life as normal as possible.
00:54We never see the care.
00:55The professionals are in civil.
00:58The doctors are in civil.
00:59Everybody is in civil.
01:00So we don't know who is who.
01:01Our projects are all around the social connection, the inclusion, the benefits, the families.
01:05Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, accounting for about 70% of all cases.
01:11It causes nerve cells in the brain to degenerate.
01:15In the early stages, memory loss and poor orientation are typical.
01:20As it progresses, patients no longer recognize loved ones and need help with all aspects of daily life.
01:27In many countries around the world, dementia patients in nursing homes are still restrained or sedated.
01:33In this facility, caregivers help maintain existing skills for as long as possible, including getting back off the bike.
01:42The real life has it in mind, a dream of being able to keep track and keep track of the
01:44bike.
01:45You get to the front of the bike.
01:47Yes, you get to the front of the bike.
02:00You get to the front of the bike.
02:06Allons-y.
02:08Allons-y, all-y.
02:09to be in a life where everything is not aseptized.
02:13Globalmente, I am not sure that it is to give years more,
02:19but to give the quality of life to the rest of the years.
02:23When the world we know keeps getting smaller,
02:26moments of happiness can mean something different for everyone.
