With 10,000 people daily turning 65, and age being the greatest risk factor for dementia, Alabama is committed to raising awareness throughout the state, striving to reduce stigma and fostering individual engagement through training and participation within a "dementia friendly community." Having a solid community of people we can trust enough to be vulnerable with and who will sustain us through difficult times is a foundational part of life. Imagine a community where people with dementia feel included, respected and valued, where they can participate in activities that are meaningful to them.
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 every day community life. Help us foster dementia friendlines and join us Friday, March 9, 2018!
