Aging Well & Dementia in Alaska Native Communities
Alaska Native Elders and communities face unique challenges. This page outlines some of the information Elders and community members have shard with us about aging in a good way, aging within their community, relocation, and caregiving for loved ones with memory loss.
Aging Well and Relocation
Many Alaska Native Elders may choose or have to relocate from their rural to an urban community to be with family, to access resources, services, or medical care.

Alaska Native people caring for someone with memory loss often experience difficulty accessing disease knowledge, services, and programs. This page shares what we have learned from care partners. Our resource website also lists a number of resources available in Alaska.
