Monthly Dementia Friendly Nevada Storey County Community Meetings

In late 2025, Storey County announced its new designation as a Dementia Friendly Community under the Dementia Friendly Nevada (DFNV) initiative, part of the national Dementia Friendly America program. This statewide initiative is focused on, "cultivating and strengthening communities in becoming more respectful, educated, supportive, and inclusive of people living with dementia and their care partners".

DFNV supports local community groups through Zoom-based public forums, information sessions, and speaker series, among other events. As the new DFNV Storey County group gets started, organizers are inviting community members to participate and help identify the goals and objectives that would be most beneficial to local residents living with dementia and their care partners.

If you are interested in attending the Storey County Community Group monthly meetings, mark your calendar for the second Thursday of each month at 2:30 p.m. at Piper's Opera House in Virginia City.
