Alzheimer’s disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) education to teach how cognitive and behavioral impairments impact medical care, and to promote dementia –friendly communities
Dementia Friendly Orange County
Our Age Friendly and Dementia Friendly Orange County Initiative is a collaborative effort led by UCI Geriatrics and our partners at Alzheimer’s Orange County, as well as a Task Force which includes government officials, older adults, those living with dementia, their families, and caregivers, and community-based organizations and leaders across Orange County. We aim to build a community that is better designed to support people living with dementia and their families and caregivers. Our vision is to connect multiple stakeholders across our community to secure a future where diverse individuals and families living with dementia thrive and are surrounded by kindness and compassion.
