How we see The Village Langley - Verve Senior Living
The Village Langley is a state-of-the-art memory care community, an ideal setting for people dealing with the adverse effects of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. They can live here safely, free to come and go wherever they like within The Village. Family members' worries about tendencies to elopement evaporate. But there's so much more. Residents live a lifestyle that promotes more activity and requires less medication. The environment itself is a holistic treatment.
We’ve been excited about The Village ever since it was first announced. In Canada, it remains the best innovation yet in design for memory care. The Village is built from the ground up with the needs of people with dementia at the top of mind. This offsets so many issues and negative behaviours, giving people a setting that’s familiar, friendly, and safe.
Features include perimeter fencing and a blue-tooth-enabled security system that lets staff know the whereabouts of residents any time, in real time. An important aspect of design for memory care is de-institutionalization and declinicalization of the care environment. This is inherent in a true “village” that includes a general store, doctor’s office, hair salon, workshop, and more.
People live in colourful cottages here, attended by staff who are expert in their training and approach. On top of everything above, The Village is set in a quiet neighbourhood in one of the country’s most beautiful cities. We can’t imagine better place for people with dementia.

Our cottage-style living is surrounded by five acres of secured grounds with walking paths, gardens, farm animals & a water rock garden. You’ll be able to explore your surroundings safely & securely. Our focus is on providing an enriched living experience where each person experiences a purposeful & meaningful life.
We believe and practice a resident-centric approach. We are happy to offer many choices for our residents so they can live the way they wish to live. At one of our communities' residents gain independence, have help when they need it and enjoy everything this lifestyle has to offer.
Our new Villager orientation helps those who have moved here to learn all about the different services we offer.
