Social programs

Get Social

Living with dementia can be isolating for both the diagnosed individual and their caregivers. Maintaining social connections enhances the quality of life for dementia patients by promoting feelings of happiness, fulfillment, and purpose.  Research has proven that having strong social connections can also buffer caregiving stress and enhance positive aspects of the caregiving experience. 

There's always something going on at FVMP
