NEW YORK: The three hundred and twenty-fourth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
Central Victoria could become home to Australia’s first ever dementia village if the federal government heeds a council request for funding.
The Heathcote facility was first proposed in 2014 but plans took a step forward last week when the City of Greater Bendigo listed the project as a priority for federal funding, requesting $300,000 from the government to investigate the project’s viability.
The proposed facility would include accommodation for about 150 residents, as well as shops, cafes and parkland, designed to be both safe and stimulating from people living with dementia.
