Dementia Capable Southern Arizo na
Imagine you are caring for an LGBTQI+ person who came out in 2017. Due to their dementia diagnosis, they believe it is 1994 and do not remember coming out or receiving gender-affirming surgery. How does one support the unique needs of LGBTQI+ people living with dementia?
A memory screening is a simple and safe “healthy brain check-up” that should be done annually as we age. DCSA offers free memory screenings to the community. These screenings can be done in person or over the phone. They are not a diagnostic test; however, they do provide insight into memory changes over time and can help determine if you may need further evaluation from a physician or other clinician. Call the PCOA Helpline at (520) 790-7262 or visit our website to request a free memory screening today! https://www. pcoa.org/dementiareferral/
As a care provider, join us to learn about responsive care for LGBTQI+ people living with dementia through Visibility Matters: Dementia Edition.
