Why Size Matters in Dementia Care

Episode 12:

The UK’s Richmond Villages Willaston project won Best Care Design in the 2021 Leaders In Care Awards. In this episode you’ll hear why this innovative project was based on a model first pioneered in the Netherlands and where and why they shifted the parameters into very small group living in the United Kingdom. A compelling session with the Managing Director of Richmond Villages, Philippa Fieldhouse.
