ACT on Alzheimer's
About Us
ACT on Alzheimer's is a volunteer-driven collaboration bringing communities together to create supportive environments for everyone touched by Alzheimer's disease.
Since November 2015, 18 members from various sectors of the Chanhassen community have been meeting monthly as an ACT on Alzheimer's ACTion Team. The following is a snapshot of activities that are currently underway:
- Develop and implement community education in partnership with Alzheimer’s Association and Eastern Carver County Community Education
- Host a screening of “Every Minute Counts” in Chanhassen for the general public
- Plan and implement Dementia Friends in Chanhassen
- Develop a comprehensive resource guide
- Explore the idea of a drop-in center for care partners and people living with dementia
