Mission
Dementia Friendly Elmbrook is a purposeful effort, led by a coalition of residents, businesses, city and village leaders, pastors, and service providers in the city of Brookfield, town of Brookfield and village of Elm Grove, to create a community that accepts, understands, supports and engages persons with dementia, their families and caregivers.
It involves: educating the public about dementia and how to positively interact with individuals with dementia, providing training to businesses and service providers, providing public screening events for early detection of dementia, and building a response system that can safely and effectively work through crisis situations a person living with dementia and their caregivers/families may experience everyday.
Components of a Dementia Friendly Community
Dementia Friendly Community Presentations
If your organization would like to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease and other types of types of dementia, as well as how to help those with dementia, we offer a free one-hour presentation for interested residents, businesses or organizations.
Dementia Friendly Business Training
A growing number of businesses and organizations including: banks, stores, shops, restaurants, churches, etc. are training their employees to become dementia friendly by learning how to recognize signs and symptoms of dementia; communicating with individuals with dementia and working through possible challenging situations. Employees will learn about services, programs and resources available in their community and how to create a dementia friendly business environment. Those businesses that train the majority of their employees will be awarded a Purple Angel decal to display in their windows so people with dementia & their caregivers can be confident they will be conducting business in a dementia friendly environment.
Dementia Friendly Coalition
The dementia coalition consists of community members, business owners and operators, care providers, caregivers, and people living with dementia. The coalition meets quarterly while work groups meet on a more frequent basis. The current work groups include: marketing, community education, and the forum event.
