Let’s Work Together to Create a Dementia Capable Society- Because it Matters!

As we begin a new year, I always pause to reflect on my purpose in life and assess how well I’m fulfilling this purpose. One of the greatest gifts I’ve received in life was being called to be an occupational therapist and being led to serve those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. For the past 35 plus years I have been doing whatever I can to make the world a better place for those living with dementia, their loved ones, and caregivers. Along the journey I quickly realized there is little value in going it alone. This is not solitary work to be done by one- it is a movement. We believe it is vital to “create a Dementia Capable Society, one person, one passionate partner at a time”.
