Dedicated to living fully

Memory loss and cognitive change don’t need to be isolating or overwhelming. Dementia Friendly Bitterroot is a new community initiative to make our valley a more informed, safe, and respectful place for staying active and living fully. Whether you’re living signs of dementia, care for someone who is, or want to be a better friend and neighbor, you are part of Dementia Friendly Bitterroot.
