Dementia Friendly America (DFA) envisions an America where individuals living with dementia and their care partners can live, engage and thrive in community no matter where they live.
DFA is a national network of communities, organizations and individuals seeking to ensure that communities across the U.S. are equipped to support people living with dementia and their care partners.
The DFA movement began in September 2015 following the White House Conference on Aging when USAging became the administrator, spearheading the effort. The Dementia Friendly America model is based upon Minnesota’s successful statewide initiative, ACT on Alzheimer’s. DFA launched with six pilot communities and has expanded to a network that spans 43 states!
DFA’s mission is to increase dementia awareness, reduce stigma, and provide quality dementia-friendly resources, education and support that fosters the creation of communities where people living with dementia and their care partners can live, engage and thrive in community with others.
