'Memory care village' to offer home away from home for people with dementia

A spa, gym, hair salon, post office and art studio - just some of the home-away-from-home facilities which will be on offer at a multi-million 'memory care village' on its 10-acre grounds.

The large-scale plan by an east Cork nursing home to construct a pioneering village for residents with dementia has just been launched by Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People, Jim Daly.
