Dementia Friendly Denton County

Compassion in Action: A Dementia Friendly Future

DFDC Community Training Wellness in Nature Program 

The seeds of Dementia Friendly Denton County were sown more than 15 years ago through the pioneering work of a group of dedicated volunteers and professionals. They established Stepping Stones, a free, weekly occupational therapy-based support group for individuals with early to mid-stage dementia and their family caregivers. This grassroots effort brought to our community much-needed meaningful activities for persons with dementia, along with practical guidance and support for their caregivers.

As a member of the national Dementia Friendly Community movement, Dementia Friendly Denton County is committed to integrating families living with dementia into our broader community. We provide guidance, resource information, and training to businesses, organizations, caregivers, and individuals diagnosed with dementia. Together, we are dedicated to making Denton County a welcoming and supportive community for those living with dementia and their caregivers.
