Presentation Five years ago, Henri Emmanuelli, inspired by the model of the Dutch pilot village of Weesp, near Amsterdam, decided to put the Landes forward as a pilot Department for the care of people with Alzheimer’s and other related diseases. In this ground-breaking reception structure there are to be no visible white coats and a non-drug approach within a secure environment in small housing units. A complex set out in the shape of a Bastide, with a coffee shop, a theater, a food store or even a hair salon. A place open to life and the city. This Village Landais Alzheimer, unique in France, for which we laid the foundation stone in June 2018 in the city of Dax, aims to maintain a maximum of daily references for the person and maintain social ties, thanks to the involvement of volunteers. The place given to families will be paramount. The Village will also be a resource center for medical and therapeutic research. This is an essential part of the project. Several evaluation studies will be conducted to measure the exemplary and effective nature of this innovative management method. A study will also focus on the impact of new technologies and new forms of cognitive impairment rehabilitation. All the medical and medico-social actors as well as the carers will be able to find additional support or The Village is inspired by the traditional architec- new models of care.
