LiveWell is a non-profit organization with over 30 years of experience dedicated to developing and innovating strategies that support people to live well through all stages of cognitive change. LiveWell courses, programs, and resources help you map out a vibrant path forward following a dementia diagnosis. Our dementia positive community and campus is an alternative to traditional “memory care” interventions. We promote autonomy, choice, and the individuals ability to pursue wellbeing on their own terms as they age. We value people living with dementia as equal contributors and are constantly striving to be innovators grounded in practice.
