A major donation is going to a group building a new place for people with Dementia to live comfortably.
Dementia Innovations nonprofit in Sheboygan announced that they’ve received a generous $1.25 million donation from the Ruth DeYoung Kohler Community Impact Fund to help build the future Livasu Dementia Village.
The donation was used to purchase 79 acres of land in the Town of Wilson, where the village will be built.
The village would be the first of its kind anywhere in the United States and a place for people with dementia to “live as usual.”
Dementia Village would include 124 individually owned homes and a village center that is open to public restaurants, a theater, grocery stores, and more.
By encouraging an interface with the greater community, we help to ease the stigma currently associated with dementia.
All care and support for those living with dementia will be provided by onsite staff.
Dementia Innovations is still raising money for the village and it’s not certain when construction will begin.
