This is a session is led by Jessica Fairbanks, Dementia Friends Champion and owner of Home Care Assistance of the Cedar Valley.

It will include a chance to become a Dementia Friend. You’ll learn what dementia is, what it’s like to live with the disease, and some tips for communicating with people who have dementia. Everyone who attends is asked to turn their new understanding of dementia into a practical action that can help someone living in your community. The action can be as big or as small as you choose—every action counts!

It will also include a Dementia Live® experience. Dementia Live® is a high impact, dementia simulation experience that immerses participants into life with dementia, resulting in a deeper understanding of what it’s like to live with cognitive impairment and sensory change.
