| Annotation | This paper outlines the history and origins of dementia-friendly communities (DFCs) and age-friendly communities (AFCs) in the UK. It sets out the differing frameworks and how these compare, along with some key messages about how they might learn from each other. The aim is to reduce potential confusion around AFCs and DFCs, and provides some practical ways that the two initiatives might work together and find common ground. By learning from each other, both age-friendly and DFCs can grow their reach and their impact as complementary and not competing programmes. The original development of some of the ideas in this paper comes from a paper Natalie Turner co-wrote with Lydia Morken at AARP (www.aarp.org/content/dam/aarp/livable-communities/... (RH). |
