About this event

We’re excited to share that the Neighborhood Dementia Support Initiative
(NDS) is now the Neighborhood Aging and Dementia Support Initiative (NADS).
Over the past year, NDS has supported our community through educational programs,
memory cafes, respite opportunities, individualized guidance, and practical assistance for people living with memory loss and their caregivers. We’ve also raised
awareness and helped foster greater inclusion in local and regional activities.
As our work has expanded, we’ve recognized the broader needs of older
adults. In addition to supporting those affected by memory loss, we are now
addressing a wider range of aging-related concerns — including physical and mental health, social isolation, mobility challenges, caregiving support, and overall wellness.
Our new name reflects this broader mission.
We remain committed to helping older adults age in place with dignity and access
the support they need.
