The Hogeweyk is a special care village in the Netherlands for people with dementia, where residents live in houses with full-time carers; it costs roughly €5,000 to €8,000 per month. I understand it has inspired similar places in other countries. But for us, when my grandmother was there, this model felt isolating—the perfect, enclosed world cut her off from the real rhythms of family and our village in Himachal, where even confusion has its place among familiar fields. Her 'cost' was the silence where there should have been the sound of her asking for her old almirah key.
