Navigating the Dementia Journey Notebook

Living with dementia is a journey. 

This notebook was created as part of Nevada’s Dementia Friendly mission to recognize and support individuals living with dementia and their carepartners.  It is designed to help you navigate your journey with dementia with the understanding that no two journeys are the same.

To help you create your personal road map, we have filled the notebook with information about community resources, words of wisdom from those who have lived the journey, and links to resources for more indepth information. CLICK CC RESOURCE NOTEBOOK BELOW TO VIEW.
