Dementia Friendly Billerica

The Dementia Friendly Billerica initiative was kicked off on March 9th, 2017, at Billerica Town Hall to raise awareness of and develop respect and inclusion for people with dementia.  When every sector and everyone in the community is educated, it creates a livable, safe, stigma-free and respectful environment where people with dementia and their care partners can thrive.
