COLUMBUS, Ind. — With a growing number of Baby Boomers now in retirement, the number of Hoosiers affected by dementia is likely to grow rapidly.
Some say that illustrates a need for the Columbus area to be more dementia friendly — for residents to better understand dementia — and to work to accommodate current and future challenges.
A recent effort now underway in Bartholomew County is an expansion of the Dementia Friends Indiana organization.
Several concepts and values advocated by Dementia Friends Indiana were outlined by Self during workshops attended by about 16 people at the Thrive Alliance offices on June 21.
