A Handbook for Dementia Friendly Congregations
Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are expected to grow exponentially over the coming decades. Absent a cure, this trend will overwhelm America’s health system, and much of the burden of care will fall on families and private sector organizations. Religious communities, regardless of faith or denomination, can play a significant role in meeting this demand because so many embrace compassion and social responsibility, and already have community outreach programs in place.
This handbook is intended to aid these congregations. It tells how to train members and leadership in Alzheimer’s awareness and compassionate care, how to recognize members of the congregation who may be living with dementia, how to create the structures within a congregation to respond both internally and outward toward the community at large, how to help and serve families living with dementia, and how to create programs and services that will make any religious institution more dementia friendly.
