Where can people living with dementia go and feel safe, supported, and understood?
In this episode of Parenting Up, we’re back in Detroit discussing an important question for families impacted by dementia: Are there public spaces where people living with dementia can socialize, connect, and feel welcomed?
Host J Smiles sits down with community leaders from the Alzheimer’s Association of Metro Detroit and Hartford Memorial Baptist Church to talk about dementia-friendly communities, caregiver support, early detection, and the resources available for families navigating this journey.
From support groups to faith-based dementia outreach, this conversation highlights why safe spaces matter — not just for people living with dementia, but also for the caregivers walking alongside them.
Whether you are a caregiver, care partner, family member, or someone wanting to better understand dementia, this episode is for you.
