A healthy community is an inclusive community. Northern Colorado is committed to learning how to engage and create meaningful interactions for those living with dementia. This means reaching out to people with dementia and their care partners to encourage them to take part in community events — to consciously include rather than just passively accept.
ALL in-person activities are suspended per city/state COVID-19 ordinances. Since March, 2020 we have been and will continue to offer virtual activities until further notice.
