Dementia Spotlight Foundation is dedicated to supporting lives through advocacy, the arts, & dementia education. We're committed to educating both family and professional caregivers about dementia-related diseases and enhancing the supports and standards of care needed. Due to the complexity of dementia and the stigma associated with it, there's an extreme lack of funding, education, & resources available for individuals and caregivers who need them right now. While research is thriving, and we all hope for a cure, the fact remains that 5.4 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. With a focus on LIFE before LOSS, RIGHTS before research, and CARE before cure, we realize that life doesn't end after a dementia diagnosis, there's HOPE & a way forward.
