Become A Dementia Friend

Communicating with Your Customers
​As a dementia-friendly professional working in the Food and Beverage Industries, it is critical that we understand how to speak to and approach customers who may be living with dementia. A general strategy is using the T-A-L-K tactics.
​Being aware will help understanding why you may be having difficulty communicating with the customer.
We also want to aim at creating a great dining experience and be able to provide accommodations that they need.
When your customers feel welcome at your establishment, you are in effect reducing the stigma and also help with curtailing self-isolation.
