Dementia Friendly Communities Tools & Training Resources
Just a little knowledge and awareness will reduce the stigma of dementia because we will be more inclined to reach out and support those with dementia – in our own families and in our wider communities. Join the movement! One person reaching out to one person with dementia is all it takes to build a movement. At Senior Living Residences we are committed to this effort and have created educational materials you can use in your own communities.
Please feel free to download and use these, free of charge! If you are interested in learning more about our Interactive Train-the-Trainer Program or our Dementia Experience sensitivity training, please email Pamela Maloney at pmaloney@slr-usa.com
