Alan is 68 and he has Alzheimer’s disease. He’s supported by a close-knit group of friends he’s known since school. These long-standing friendships continue to play a meaningful role in his life as he lives with dementia. This is Alan’s story. 💜 #DAW25 #DementiaAwareness #EveryStep

Receiving a dementia diagnosis is life-changing. Even if someone sensed something wasn’t quite right, hearing the words out loud can change everything. In moments like this, friendship becomes more important than ever. This Dementia Awareness Week, we are celebrating the power of friendships and how they can be a powerful force in the life of a person with dementia - and how staying connected can bring comfort, joy and a sense of belonging to people living with dementia.💜👇
