We'll say that, okay? Okay. And it's what's called a dementia village, basically, where everyone who lives in this village, I think 150 people, all have dementia. And they live in group houses. Well, there's caretakers that live there, too. Okay, yes, you're right. And they live in the group houses with them.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

And a lot of the people... realize that this is their nurse or just think it's a good friend of theirs. Yeah. They don't really remember when they became friends. Like a cool roommate. Yeah, exactly. And the houses they live in have different themes according to how the people lived, depending on whether they were blue collar, whether their memories go back to the 70s.

This whole place is basically set up so that it's a very non-threatening, safe place for these people to just kind of live. Yeah. And move about within? Sure, safely. Yeah, safely. And so they can go to the grocery store. They can go to the movies. They can go ride a bike.

And everyone, the people at the movie theater, know that the people there have dementia. Right. They're real movie theater workers and real waiters in the restaurant.
