Dementia Friendly America is pleased to share the newly released Dementia-Friendly Community Evaluation Guide. The Evaluation Guide, developed with funding from AARP, is geared toward local dementia-friendly community leaders and partners to help evaluate the impact of their DFA efforts. Measuring common outcomes of dementia-friendly activities is essential to evaluating the impact that DFA communities are able to achieve, and we are excited to share this new resource that includes straightforward steps and standardized tools to foster outcome-based evaluation strategies.
