Dementia Friendly America

Memory Care & Dementia · Mississippi · Free

Helps communities become dementia-friendly. Find local chapters. Useful for spouses and adult children who've watched memory or judgment decline over months and don't know the next step. Online courses cover communication techniques, fall prevention, and how to handle hospitalization for a person with dementia. PACE programs and Medicaid HCBS waivers often cover dementia care at home — many families never apply because no one tells them. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
