💜 Some people living with dementia just need to know they're not alone.
That's the heart behind our Mistaken Orders™ program.
Dementia doesn't take away someone's need to laugh, to connect, to feel seen. But too often, isolation does the rest of the damage. Research now shows that loneliness increases the risk of developing dementia by 30% and accelerates Alzheimer's by 39%. The silence around this disease is making it worse.
At Our Aging Services, we believe every person living with dementia deserves a community that meets them exactly where they are, with warmth, with humor, and without judgment.
Mistaken Orders™ was born from that belief. We're educating our community about the dementia public health crisis, the growing gap in caregivers, and what happens when we stop showing up for one another. Because showing up, laughing together, sharing a meal, simply being present — isn't just kindness. It's medicine.
If you or someone you love is walking this road, you don't have to walk it alone. 💜
