Alzheimers New Zealand expects the number of people living with mate wareware | dementia to increase by 240 percent in the coming years.
Which is why all of our staff are Dementia Friends and are committed to making our libraries safe and supportive places for people living with mate wareware | dementia.
One initiative we've introduced to help those living with mate wareware | dementia is A Suitcase Full of Memories.
