A dementia-friendly community involves various individuals committing to raise awareness about dementia, reduce its impact, and provide support for individuals with memory loss and their caregivers. This approach promotes inclusivity and allows people with dementia to remain active members of society. You can contribute by joining a local dementia-friendly action team and implementing dementia-friendly practices in your home or workplace. Dementia is an umbrella term encompassing various memory-related conditions, and common behaviors associated with it include wandering, communication difficulties, confusion, and judgment issues. Communities have introduced services like Memory Cafés, Dementia Friends Informational Training, support groups, workplace training, and adult day programs to cater to the needs of individuals with dementia and their caregivers.
