Emmaus Village is an innovative dementia care community in Port Macquarie, NSW, opened in May 2024 and operated by St Agnes' Catholic Parish, a not-for-profit organisation. The facility uses a small-town, small-house layout with themed surroundings designed to promote freedom of movement, stimulate the mind, and support everyday living for people with dementia. Residents — referred to as 'Villagers' — live in a safe, secure environment that encourages socialising based on common interests and maintains family connection while supporting independence. The village model is described as world-leading in dementia care design, with a hands-on, person-centred philosophy grounded in Catholic values and community service.
