Dementia Friends are encouraged to take one small action that makes life easier for someone living with dementia. Whether it’s offering a helping hand, being patient during conversations or simply making eye contact and smiling—every gesture counts. What’s your action?

What does a #DementiaFriendly community look like? It’s store clerks trained in memory loss awareness & social programs that include people living with #dementia. These everyday changes help individuals feel valued. Let’s keep the momentum going. dementiafriendsusa.org

Shout-out to the organizations & volunteers who are making their cities and towns more #DementiaFriendly—one conversation, training and partnership at a time. If you’re working toward #DementiaFriendly goals, we want to hear from you. Share your story: [email protected]
