Alexandria, VA becomes Fifth Dementia Friendly Community in Virginia
|
Every day, Nico Bins goes to his favorite newsstand to buy a newspaper. The owner greets him with a smile as he scrambles for change to pay. They make conversation about the escalating cost of newspapers, and then Nico goes about his day and the shopkeeper hers.
From a distance, the transaction seems unremarkable. But, what if I told you that the shop is one of more than 90 shops in Bruges, Belgium classified as “dementia-friendly,” and that Nico, the customer, has vascular dementia?
It’s remarkable that this happens in Belgium, but what about here in the U.S.? What are we doing to support those with dementia in our communities? The answer is. . . we are working towards doing the same thing as they are doing in Bruges!
Five Communities in Virginia are Now Committed to Becoming Dementia Friendly!
