Dementia Friendly America

Dementia Friendly America (DFA) is a national initiative aimed at creating communities that support and include people living with dementia and their families. It promotes awareness, understanding, and access to resources, so individuals with dementia can remain active, connected, and respected. Organizations, businesses, and community members are encouraged to adopt practices that reduce stigma and improve safety, independence, and quality of life for those affected. By fostering education and collaboration, DFA helps communities become more welcoming and accommodating, ensuring that people with dementia and their caregivers receive the support they need to thrive.
