Dementia Capable Community

Various meetings and educational opportunities throughout Door County
A Dementia Capable Community is a group that shows a high level of awareness and responsibility when it comes to dementia.  Door County’s Dementia Capable Communities value our aging community, particularly those coping with dementia, by enhancing daily opportunities to live with independence, purpose, increased access to support and social networks.   We do this through community interaction, business education, early detection, and sustainability efforts. We seek to empower grocers, banks, restaurants, apartment complexes, churches, and more with tools that support the needs of those coping with dementia.
