What we do…

Serve our local community dementia awareness, education, training, and connecting to resources to allow people living with dementia and their care partners to safely remain and continue to be active and engaged in our community.

 

What is Dementia Friendly Community?

A Dementia Friendly Community is…

An initiative that aims to cultivate and strengthen communities in becoming more respectful, educated, supportive and inclusive of people living with dementia and their care partners. Action toward this vision is mobilized through a collaborative, multi-sector approach to community-driven change using the Dementia Friendly America process. A second aim of Dementia Friendly Clark County is to promote and expand the reach of the Nevada Dementia Supports Toolbox, a collection of evidence-based programs and other services that are currently available within the state to educate and support people living with dementia and their care partners. Learn more about Dementia Friendly communities by watching the below above.
