Boston Dementia Friendly Community (DFC)
"A dementia-friendly community is a city, town or village where people with dementia are understood, respected and supported. Dementia-friendly communities are vital in helping people live well with dementia and remain a part of their community." (Alzheimer's UK)
In Boston we have a network of individuals and organisations who are working together to improve things for people living with dementia. The priorities of the Boston Dementia Friendly Community are to:
- Work alongside the Lincolnshire Dementia Programme Board
- Promote awareness
- Reduce stigma
- Promote inclusivity
- Signpost, support and improve access to services
Below is a list of dementia cafes in Boston, these are sometimes known as memory cafes. Dementia Cafés provide a safe and welcoming space for those living with dementia and their carers. It is a place where they can socialise, find support and take part in a range of activities.
Other dementia support can be found in the Connect to Support directories.
