Never Alone on this Journey

This journey doesn’t ask you to have all the answers, or to face it alone. We walk beside you, seeing not just a dementia diagnosis, but the whole person you are and always will be. Together, we can transform the path of dementia, not by denying the struggle, but by filling it with compassion, meaning, and hope.

 

 

What is Lumina?

Lumina by Landis Communities is a person-centered dementia initiative that walks alongside individuals and families to create meaningful paths forward after diagnosis.

 

 

 

No one should have to walk this path alone.

And with Lumina, you never will.
