Hollerbach’s German Restaurant joins Central Florida Dementia-Friendly Dining

Sanford’s favorite German eatery is joining the growing list of dementia-friendly eateries in Central Florida. Hollerbach’s German Restaurant is the newest partner of Central Florida Dementia-Friendly Dining, and is set to offer dining for dementia patients and caregivers every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m.

Dementia-Friendly Dining (DFD) is an organization that started after co-founder Dennis Dulniak’s wife, Nancy, was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2015. He formed DFD as a means to spread positivity and awareness within the local dementia community after being his wife’s designated caregiver until she passed in 2021.

Dementia-Friendly Dining focuses on creating a comfortable environment for people with dementia to enjoy a meal without distraction or unease.

The first restaurant to join the list of Dementia-Friendly Dining was The Meatball Stoppe (now closed), which offered seating in their back room every Tuesday.

Central Florida Dementia-Friendly Dining currently works with five local eateries, but the list is growing.
