Collinsville Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on June 12.
Every part of the community has a unique role in meaningfully supporting people with dementia and their family and friend care partners.
Is your organization or business prepared to serve their neighbors and community as the number of people impacted or diagnosed with dementia increases? The people struggling with this disease and their families will continue to need your services. You can better prepare yourself to serve those customers if you have an understanding of the disease and can look for ways to adapt to their unique situation.
Dementia-Friendly Madison County provides education and resources tailored to different segments of our county – health professionals, retailers, legal and financial services, faith communities, local government, etc. – all of whom encounter individuals with memory impairments.
