project overview
Dementia Supports in Rural Saskatchewan focuses on improving the public’s awareness of the stigma and social isolation experienced by people with dementia and their care partners.
WINDUP SUMMIT
The DSRS Backbone Management Group and Collaborating Organizations facilitated a Windup Summit on the initiative’s progress, a brief discussion of evaluation findings, and a discussion on the plans for sustainability.
COLLECTIVE IMPACT
Selected organizations from different sectors worked collectively to build a Collective Impact approach based on their shared vision to enhance social inclusion of older adults with dementia and their care partners living in small cities and rural communities in Saskatchewan.
Individual, community, and organizational level services are essential to support those with dementia, and their care partners, in their own communities so that they can successfully age in place.
