Dementia Friendly Ventura County (DFVC) is an initiative led by Ventura County Area Agency on Aging. The goals of DFVC are:
- To create a county where persons with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are valued and respected, feel safe, and their caregivers are supported.
- To educate and inform all entities that serve the public about the unique needs of this population to better serve and support them.
- To promote community awareness of the condition and how individuals and businesses can make a positive difference.
VCAAA is one of four organizations in California to be certified by Dementia Friendly America®, an initiative borne out of the 2015 White House Conference on Aging to address the national and global epidemic of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
In order to educate businesses around the County, we need qualified, dedicated educators to become trained in both Alzheimer's Association and DFVC curriculum. If you are interested in becoming a DFVC educator, please respond to this need.
