Happy New Year!
We are excited to continue our work creating a dementia-friendly Seattle in 2014. Fostering our current community connections, and striving to form new relationships in order to create additional innovative programming, we are proud to be a part of a movement, Momentia, creating a new dementia story. This story is about connection and joy-filled moments for all. What will your part be in this new story?
Here are some of the ways Elderwise is partnering in the community to bring engaging and creative opportunities to people living with dementia:
