Dementia Friendly & Enabled Communities

													
"The aim of a dementia friendly community isn't to separate people with dementia from others; but to include them to the fullest extent possible." (Life Changes Trust)
A dementia friendly Inverclyde is where the whole community is committed to working together and helping people living with dementia remain a part of their community, where they feel included and involved and have choice and control in their daily lives. Supporting people impacted by dementia to live well and stay connected, we are working to create a community that is more aware and inclusive in order to empower people impacted by dementia to remain active citizens.
