Meet Cyndy Luzinski of Dementia Together as she explains the many benefits of this non-profit organization. Formerly, “Dementia-Friendly Communities of Northern Colorado,” our new name seeks to reflect that sense of together-ness. But even though our name is new, our mission remains the same: No one has to walk the dementia journey alone. We’re the same organization helping to cultivate joy and connection for people living with dementia and their care partners. We’re still committed to listening to the experts – those living with dementia.






We are working hard on developing new educational programs, and exploring new ways to bring people together across all points of the dementia journey. (We even have a new method for online giving!)
