THE GOLDEN VILLAGES
A Land-Based Dementia Facility
The Golden Villages is a proposed rural, land-based dementia care community located in Mount Pleasant, Ontario.
Rooted in agriculture, environmental stewardship, and dignity-centered care, the project is exploring a new model of aging that reconnects people living with dementia to nature, meaningful daily activity, and community.
Situated on a working farm in Brant County, the vision combines specialized dementia care, therapeutic outdoor environments, food production, wellness programming, and intergenerational community spaces within a campus designed to preserve and strengthen the rural landscape.
