A calm, respectful approach can make a big difference in helping a patient feel safe, heard, and supported.

Patients may not remember every detail of the visit, but they will remember how they felt in your care.

Small communication changes can create a more dementia-friendly healthcare experience.

Help spread dementia-friendly care — share this with a healthcare worker.

Falls can be especially dangerous for older adults living with dementia. Changes in memory, judgment, balance, vision, and awareness can increase the risk of tripping or losing balance. Small changes, however, can help create a safer and more supportive environment.

Helpful fall prevention tips include keeping walkways clear, removing loose rugs or clutter, using nightlights, making sure shoes fit properly, and encouraging walkers or canes when needed. Keeping frequently used items within easy reach and offering gentle reminders to move slowly can also help.

A calm, familiar environment with clear pathways, good lighting, consistent routines, and supportive supervision can reduce confusion and promote confidence.

Fall prevention is not about limiting independence. It is about helping each person feel safe, supported, and able to move through their day with dignity.

A dementia friendly community is built in the places our neighbors already know and trust.

The coffee shop. The bank. The church. The salon. The pharmacy. The local business where patience and understanding can make someone’s day a little easier.

That is what Community Partnership with Dementia Friendly Lehigh Valley is about.

Your partnership helps support education, outreach, resources, and advocacy for individuals living with dementia and their care partners throughout the Lehigh Valley.

It is more than a donation. It is a statement that your business or organization believes in dignity, awareness, and community support.

Talking to kids about Alzheimer’s or dementia can feel hard, but simple, honest conversations can help them feel less scared and more connected. 💜

Kids do not need every medical detail. They need reassurance, patience, and permission to ask questions.

Helpful things children can do:
- Look at photos together
- Sing a familiar song
- Draw a picture
- Hold hands
- Help set the table
- Say “I love you” even if the person cannot say it back

Dementia changes many things, but it does not erase love, family, or the value of being present.

At Dementia Friendly Lehigh Valley, we believe people of all ages can learn compassion, understanding, and kindness toward those living with dementia and their care partners.
