The Town of Fountain Hills and Dementia Friendly Fountain Hills will host the 3rd Annual Dementia Caregiver Summit, a day dedicated to empowering caregivers as they navigate the challenging journey of supporting a loved one with dementia.Scheduled for March 7th, 2026, the summit features several compassionate and knowledgeable speakers who will share guidance on approaching this journey with greater confidence, self-compassion, and resilience. The event will run from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Fountain Hills Community Center.
“This summit is a vital resource for caregivers who face significant challenges in navigating a dementia diagnosis,” said Fountain Hills Councilwoman Peggy McMahon, co-chair of the Fountain Hills Dementia Friendly Task Force. “I hope this opportunity truly changes lives for the better.”
Caregivers often experience tremendous emotional and physical strain. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, roughly 257,000 Arizonans currently care for a friend or family member with dementia.
“I know firsthand how difficult this journey can be, and I want to do everything possible to support others going through it,” said Fountain Hills resident Linda Rode, co-chair of the task force. Her husband, Paul, passed away in 2025 after several years spent with a dementia diagnosis. “I hope this summit brings comfort and practical help to caregivers across the Valley.”
The 2025 Dementia Caregiver Summit saw strong growth, drawing more than 110 caregivers for a day of education, understanding, and shared experiences.
