Guide to a Dementia Friendly Community: Ideas for cross-sector and cross-generation initiatives, Japan
This Guide to a Dementia Friendly Community, published in Japan in 2016, draws substantially on examples from the UK and highlights the importance of people with dementia being right at the heart. The guide states: “What is consistent across all communities passionately engaged in creating a dementia friendly environment is an active participation by the people with dementia. In places where they play a specific role in the efforts, we can sense this sense of excitement and spirit across the community, including the people with dementia.”
