Nestled in the mountains, a rural district in northern Taiwan is taking a unique approach to caring for its community members living with dementia.
In Pingxi, one in every three residents is over 65. Currently, around 80 of those residents are living with dementia – an incurable neurological condition that causes gradual cognitive decline. Although Pingxi is mostly known for its sky lanterns, it’s also one of the only so-called “dementia villages” in the world.
