Dementia Friendly Oklahoma
Dementia Friendly Oklahoma is an initiative to bring awareness and education across the state to support those living with dementia and their care partners. Oklahoma is a member of the Dementia Friendly America® Network which is a multi-sector, national collaborative on a mission to foster communities that are equipped to support people with dementia and their family and friend care partners by working to become “dementia friendly.”
What does it mean to be a Dementia Friendly Community?
A Dementia Friendly Community is more than just being kind to those with the disease and their care partners. A dementia friendly community is where those individuals with the disease, their families and care partners feel supported, respected, and included to foster quality of life. Joining DFO means an entity is engaging in a process to become more dementia friendly. Every part of the community plays a role and works together to take steps to create a dementia friendly culture.
