In this episode of Community Conversation for Northeast Nevada, host Megan Ray discusses the mission and impact of Dementia Friendly Elko County and the growing need for dementia awareness and carepartner support across our region.
Dementia affects hundreds of families in Elko County. This conversation focuses on how local organizations are working to build a more informed, compassionate, and supportive community for individuals living with dementia and the care partners who support them. Listeners will learn about education programs, community resources, and ways residents can get involved in helping Elko County become more dementia friendly.
