Dementia Friendly America

Memory Care & Dementia · Arizona · Free

Helps communities become dementia-friendly. Find local chapters. Relevant for caregivers needing dementia-specific behavior strategies — wandering, sundowning, aggression, refusal of care. Online courses cover communication techniques, fall prevention, and how to handle hospitalization for a person with dementia. Power of attorney and advance directives are far easier to set up in the early stages — once capacity is gone, the only option is guardianship. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
