Help keep the world open for people living with dementia
Living with dementia changes how people experience the world. Dementia impacts people in different ways. People can experience changes to their memory, intellect, rationality, social skills and physical functioning.
Many people experience other changes too. Changes in how people relate to them. People might stop talking to them, staying in touch and inviting them to things. That’s not dementia, it’s discrimination.
