Welcome to another episode of Aging Unfiltered. In this episode, we learn more about Dementia Friendly America (DFA) and how its work is focused on creating communities that are inclusive and supportive of individuals living with dementia. Joining us are Sandy Marwood, CEO of USAging and Mary Ek, Director of Community Care Corps and Dementia Friendly America at USAging. Through education, advocacy, and local partnerships, DFA fosters understanding and helps remove the stigma surrounding dementia and combat ageism. Their collaborative network empowers citizens, businesses, and organizations to make communities safer and more accessible for people who are living with dementia and their caregivers, ensuring people of all ages can thrive.
