During their Older Adults class, 2nd year students had the opportunity to hear from CICOA to discuss being a Dementia Friend! Students received Dementia Friends pins at the end of a training course. We can't thank CICOA enough for coming to talk with us!

My mom can’t remember what city she lives in. She can’t remember the steps to make a cup of coffee. But she can still play her favorite card game! ♠️♥️ Never assume you know what someone is capable of 😊 People may just surprise you! #endalz #Alzheimers

Jillian I love that you shared this story! In Dementia Friends Indiana, we tell #DementiaFriends while dementia may rock the books off the layers of our loved one’s bookshelves (brains), it’s up to us to figure out what books remain to make a connection or someone feel like a person. ♥️
