Most people don’t experience dementia, and most of those who have it don’t need such extreme care. Taken to an extreme, this radio suggests under 5% of a steady state population would either have significant dementia or need to treat it. But again most such people are cared for by family members.

The point of this Village is to minimize the cost of treating significant outliers while maximizing their quality of life.
