What are your thoughts on facilities, as reported by CNN (27DEC2013), in regards to long term healthcare, for patients with Alzheimer's type of dementia?

I apologize, I'm still relatively new with Reddit, that was the date listed on the original article citing an update, and I probably could have been a little more specific about the facility when I wrote my original question. the facility is called Hogewey and is found in the Netherlands.

The short of it is that the mental health care facility is, for all intents, its own city. The individuals filling the roles such as baker, garbage man, police officers Etc. are all Mental Health Care Professionals. I'm fully aware that the price on something like this would be exorbitant without socialized medicine, but the cost isn't what I'm asking about.
