Dementia-Friendly Communities

What’s a Dementia-Friendly Community?
A dementia-friendly community is a place where people living with dementia, their families, community members and businesses create spaces that are respectful, supportive and empowering. Dementia-friendly communities are vital to reduce the risk of social isolation of people living with dementia and support them to remain engaged and empowered.
