Dementia Friendly Pennsylvania Contributes to Dementia Cookbook

The Dementia Friends Pennsylvania staff collaborated with Dementia Action Alliance and their team of authors living with dementia on their newest publication Cooking Our Way: A Cookbook By and For People Living with Dementia released this month in print and as a free downloadable PDF.

The unique ­cookbook includes information about healthy diet, protective kitchen aides, and recipes that are simple and designed by and for people living with dementia and their care partners.

Dementia Friendly Pennsylvania statewide coordinators Stacie Bonenberger, MOT, OTR/L and Anneliese Perry, MS, NHA, CECM worked closely with authors on the chapter "Making Your Kitchen and Cooking Dementia Friendly," which includes suggested adaptive and protective kitchen aids, safety tips, and organization suggestions to make items easier to find.
