Dementia is an umbrella term for a variety of conditions that affect mental performance. Thinking, memory, orientation, and language are all impaired.

Changes in behavior and motivation are also common.

Dementia is a disease that predominantly occurs in old age. Due to demographic developments, with an increase in the number of elderly and very elderly people, the number of those suffering from dementia will also continue to rise.

In Mainz, the city of Mainz and the providers of a wide range of services and initiatives have joined forces to found the Dementia Network. The aim of the network is to publicize the services available and to develop them further together.

Information and details about the contact points in Mainz can be found on the "Mainz Dementia Network" website:
