In this presentation, we will share lessons learned from two projects focused on implementing Compassionate Communities. We will discuss the Compassionate Community Index survey and how it was used to develop interventions centered on raising awareness and educating the community and interventions that provided practical support for persons living with declining health, including dementia.
