What Our Community Says

Hear from our members about the impact of the San Diego Dementia Consortium.

“The San Diego Dementia Consortium’s strength is rooted in its diverse and comprehensive membership, which unites physicians, nurses, assisted living professionals, home care leadership, and community advocates. Addressing the complexity of dementia care fundamentally requires this broad collaboration—from families and communities to clinical and professional leadership—to elevate the concerns of those living with dementia and to standardize expectations for quality, coordinated care.

The Consortium actively fosters this synergy through its ongoing education series, which delivers cutting-edge knowledge about dementia research, highlights vital community resources, and introduces members to a wide range of essential services. Critically, the SDDC develops joint educational resources with a dual focus: informing clinical professionals about the full spectrum of community-based senior care options available, and similarly educating senior care professionals on the latest clinical information and community support strategies for dementia management.”

“I’m glad to be a member of the Dementia Consortium because of its strong commitment to public education and its willingness to partner with like-minded groups to expand impact. Just as important, the Consortium stays focused on its mission, even when there are many competing priorities.

I’m proud to support that kind of clarity and collaboration.”

“The San Diego Dementia Consortium is an incredible resource for everyone, which is why I’m a member. It helped me a ton when both of my wife’s parents were struggling with dementia. It has also reinforced for me the importance of healthy habits—regular vigorous exercise, good sleep, and a clean diet with very few to no processed foods—and just how far these can go in preventing dementia for me, my loved ones, and hopefully, everyone I touch.”

“The SDDC has been an amazing organization to work with. Over the years, I have learned so much, which helps me be a better resource for clients, friends, and family. I love the many perspectives presented about the variety of treatments and support modalities available today. I will continue to be involved, hopefully for many years to come.”
