Successful Dementia Caregiver Summit Returns Saturday, February 8, 2025
Last year the Town of Fountain Hills and Dementia Friendly Fountain Hills hosted the first annual Dementia Caregiver Summit in our community. It was so beneficial by providing stress reducers and vital assistance to caregivers of those with cognitive impairment that organizers hope to make it an annual event.

Part of the summit includes the opportunity to participate in one of the Virtual Dementia Tours that will be offered on Friday, February 7th. This is a unique experience that allows participants to actually experience the physical and mental challenges of those suffering from dementia. Tours last for 30 minutes and run from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm.
Please refer to the flyer for additional information.
