What is a dementia friendly community?
Dementia Friendly is much more than simply being kind to those impacted by dementia. A dementia friendly community is one where those living with Alzheimer’s and their care partners feel respected, supported, and included in everyday community life.
Dementia Friendly America
Communities nationwide are actively modeling the Dementia Friendly America movement, demonstrating collaborative, community-level change to foster dementia friendliness.
With 10,000 people daily turning 65, and age being the greatest risk factor for dementia, the aging network is committed to creating and sustaining Dementia Friendly Communities, fostering partnerships, and individual engagement through training and participation within a “dementia friendly community.”
