New directives on dementia released by The Coordination Centre for Dementia
A new Dementia Guide has been created by a collaboration between local social services, health departments, municipal politicians, and engaged associations and networks in the Landshut district. The guide offers a wealth of information about dementia, providing practical support and resources for those diagnosed with the condition, their families, friends, and entire support networks.
What the Dementia Guide Offers
The Dementia Guide focuses on living with dementia and offers guidance on coping with the disease. It discusses relief options for those affected by dementia and their caregivers, and provides information about various aspects of dementia, including its impact on daily tasks and behavior changes.
The guide does not specify the type of dementia it covers, nor does it provide specific treatment recommendations. However, it offers comprehensive information about dementia, including initial signs, diagnosis, treatment options, legal, and financial support.
Accessing the Dementia Guide
The Dementia Guide is available for download as a digital document from the website www.demenz-landshut.de. It can also be obtained in print at various locations, including town halls, the district authority, and the Dementia Coordination Office.
The Initiative Behind the Guide
The exact trigger or leading organization behind the initiative is not immediately clear. For more detailed information, a closer look at the press work, municipal politics, or the websites of the Landshut district may be necessary. Typically, the following actors are involved in such projects:
- Multigenerational housing or senior offices of the district
- Local social and health politics (e.g., social administration, health department)
- Citizen foundations or volunteer centres
- Welfare associations like Caritas, Diakonie, or AWO
- Local care and support associations
Since the guide was newly created in 2025, it is likely a follow-up or continuation initiative that builds on previous network work to improve dementia care in the Landshut district.

For official updates or inquiries about the initiative, please contact the press office of the Landshut district or the relevant social department.
The Dementia Guide is designed to provide a sense of security, strength, and community for those affected by dementia, helping them avoid feelings of isolation. It serves as a valuable resource for individuals and families navigating the challenges of living with dementia in the Landshut district.
