Understanding Dementia Together

We've been traveling the world looking for a better model for living arrangements and training tools for those caring for, working with or simply loving people who are living with dementia. What we have found is places in the world that are building communities for individuals living with dementia that are focused on environment and creating higher quality of life for those in the community living with dementia. We've also found training tools and perspectives that put the person living with dementia at the forefront of every thought and interaction: Person-centered care.

Focusing on the environment helps to meet the needs of those living with dementia by providing a normal living environment. An important aspect of this focus includes extensive and compassionate training for loved ones and caregivers of those living with dementia to better understand what it might be like to live with dementia.

Creating a community built around the needs of people living with dementia changes interactions, improves quality of life, and decreases confusion.

We've learned more about what it is like to live dementia. We've experienced some amazing training tools, read about people sharing their stories about what it's like to be living with dementia. As a result we are learning more about improving the quality of life for those living with dementia (and their caregivers).

We invite you to walk with us. We can learn from each other.

We take Linda on adventures and experience together what is happening right now. Sometimes it's walking on the beach, meeting up with old friends or just cooking dinner together. Whatever it is we do it side by side, learning from each other all the time.
