COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Central Florida is blessed to have an abundance of resources for families with Loved Ones that have Alzheimer’s and Dementia. In 2020, support throughout Central Florida has expanded through the development of Dementia-Friendly Dining opportunities. Dementia-friendly Dining are members of the Central Florida Dementia Care and Cure Initiative (DCCI) Task Force that engage communities across the state to be more dementia caring, promote better care for Floridians affected by dementia, and support research efforts to find a cure.
