Natalie Turner discusses how age-friendly communities and dementia friendly communities can learn from each other to better support vulnerable older people. Both frameworks aim to promote independence and inclusion, but dementia friendly initiatives specifically focus on combating stigma and raising awareness of dementia. While age-friendly communities emphasize prevention and the social and physical environment, dementia friendly communities prioritize inclusion of those with dementia and caregivers. Initiatives could better coordinate by including dementia stakeholders, aligning resources, and adapting actions plans based on dementia friendly design principles.
