Dementia Support Services

Who can I speak with about dementia?

Dementia Care Specialists

The Dementia Care Specialists meet with individuals and families to offer them a deeper understanding of dementia and the impact of the disease over time. Other topics that can be discussed include: future planning, action plans to prepare for potential changes, strategies and tools to address changing needs, strategies to address changes in behavior, safety planning, skills for caregivers to help reduce stress, and more.

Dementia Care specialists are also available for community awareness and education sessions.

Memory Cafes

Memory Cafes are supportive spaces for individuals with mild to moderate dementia and their care partners. These gatherings offer a safe and engaging environment where people can socialize, learn, and enjoy each other's company. They are held in various welcoming places, like community centers or churches, providing an opportunity for connection and shared experiences.
