PHILOSOPHY
Simply put, the purpose of The Village Langley, and all those who work here, is to enable the well-being of
those we serve.
The Village aspires to be much more than a community that supports and cares for people living with a
dementia diagnosis. We strive to be a place where, through the dedicated service of our team members,
each Villager has an enriched living experience and lives their own best life, each-and-every day.
The role of a Village team member is to facilitate an enriched living experience for each Villager by
fostering and nurturing relationships; enabling Villagers to control and manage their day; enabling
feelings of safety, security & connectedness to people and things that matter to each person; establishing
trusting relationships with families; enabling learning of new things, and; making meaningful contributions
within The Village and surrounding communities. Our success is largely determined by the amount of joy,
love and laughter experienced by each of those we serve – Villagers, staff, volunteers and local community.
