Abstract: Abstract Dementia villages have gained attention as a promising new way of providing dementia care. The construction of dementia villages involves efforts to create more stimulating, healing and safe environments, and focuses on creating a homely atmosphere rather than one that is institutional and clinical. The concept originates from the Netherlands and is currently exported to various countries, which involves translations and adaptions when the concept is being implemented in diverse, new contexts. This chapter explores the role of service design in such translation processes, based on a study of creating a dementia village in a Norwegian municipality.
