As the season shifts, so too do the rhythms of caregiving and connection. This issue of RISE Together explores how the words we choose shape dignity, trust, and identity for those living with dementia. From honoring preferred names to rethinking “fiblets,” it’s a reminder that language has the power to lift up or weigh down—and that small shifts in our words can create calmer, more supportive moments.
You’ll also find practical examples, reflections for families, and a call to raise awareness through the Bergen County Dementia Survey.
