100 people have 100 different lives; 100 dementia patients may also have 100 different symptoms and needs. The discussion on dementia is always monotonous and negative: senile disease, weird temperament and behavior, irreversible disease, and so on. When we zoom into the symptoms of the disease, the abilities and needs of the demented persons gradually disappear from our sight.

As the population ages, the number of people with dementia will increase constantly. We need an inclusive community that can respond to the needs of every unique demented persons so that they can age at home.

When we become demented,

• How would you like your community to accept you?
• How could your voice be heard?
• Are you still able or willing to contribute to the community?
• How should people in the community take care of you when they meet you on different occasions?
• How can we create a culture of caring for people with dementia in the community?

This season, we try to immerse ourselves into the world of demented persons, understand their needs, and together shape dementia care culture.
