Civitas Senior Living, Fort Worth Non-Profit Lead Faces of Dementia Project

Table of Contents

This summer, families dug through old photo boxes, swiped through camera rolls, and set aside time for new portraits of beloved matriarchs and patriarchs as part of a special fundraiser: the Faces of Dementia project.

Civitas Senior Living partnered with the non-profit Dementia Friendly Fort Worth (DFFW) to display the pictures of 70 seniors throughout the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The showcase featured images of people living with dementia — past or present — paired with personal reflections written by their families. Many of the stunning portraits, exuding personality and life, were residents from twelve Civitas Senior Living communities across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Civitas Senior Living celebrates the Faces of Dementia with heartfelt portraits of our residents, highlighting life, love, and family connections.

Civitas Senior Living has a deep personal connection to the work of Dementia Friendly Fort Worth, with team members who have walked the caregiving journey alongside their own family members. That experience shapes the way Civitas approaches dementia care. It’s not a clinical exercise, but something profoundly human.

The Faces of Dementia project serves two purposes: to give families a chance to share moments beyond a diagnosis and celebrate every aspect of life, and to raise funds for Dementia Friendly Fort Worth.
