However, the impacts introducing this dementia village facility have not yet been systematically explored. This study aimed to qualitatively examine the experiences and perceived impacts of engaging with the Age UK dementia village.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is an in\u2010person qualitative semi\u2010structured interview study with people with dementia (PLWD) and Age UK staff. Eligible participants were adults aged 18 and over who either attended or worked at this Age UK day centre. Data was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis within a social constructivist paradigm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010two interviews comprising 11 members of Age UK Wirral staff and 11 PLWD were conducted. Thematic analysis identified three over\u2010arching themes: (1) Seeing the client as a person; (2) meaningful activity and engagement; and (3) factors shaping engagement with the dementia village.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings suggest that dementia village approaches embedded within day care settings may offer a promising model for enhancing person\u2010centred care by supporting staff to engage with individuals' identities and tailor meaningful activities. While such initiatives show potential to enhance engagement and social inclusion, their effectiveness is likely to depend on careful adaptation to individual needs, alongside appropriate resourcing and staff support. Further research is required to evaluate long\u2010term outcomes, cost\u2010effectiveness, and the ethical implications of increasingly immersive dementia care environments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.70806","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]],"date-time":"2026-08-11T11:06:01Z","timestamp":1786446361000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluating the Impact of the UK's First Day Center Dementia Village: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5259-7887","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Megan Rose","family":"Readman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Primary Care and Mental Health University of Liverpool Liverpool Merseyside UK"},{"name":"National Institute of Health and Care Research Applied Research Collaboration North West Coast Liverpool Merseyside UK"},{"name":"Department of Psychology Lancaster University Lancaster Lancashire UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frankii","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Age UK Wirral Birkenhead Merseyside UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Rooney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Age UK Wirral Birkenhead Merseyside UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0126-8485","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark","family":"Gabbay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Primary Care and Mental Health University of Liverpool Liverpool Merseyside UK"},{"name":"National Institute of Health and Care Research Applied Research Collaboration North West Coast Liverpool Merseyside UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0746-0566","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clarissa","family":"Giebel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Primary Care and Mental Health University of Liverpool Liverpool Merseyside UK"},{"name":"National Institute of Health and Care Research Applied Research Collaboration North West Coast Liverpool Merseyside UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organisation (WHO) \u201cDementia Factsheet \u201d2023 accessed December 14th 2025 https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/dementia."},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","unstructured":"Alzheimer's Society. \u201cHow Many People Have Dementia in the UK?
