When developing dementia-friendly communities (DFCs), engaging persons living with dementia in public consultations is critical. However, due to a lack of resources and expertise in how to support the involvement of this group, persons living with dementia are not always included in the development and implementation of DFC initiatives. To better understand processes and methods that facilitate the engagement of persons living with dementia in public consultations, we evaluated the public consultation processes of a Canadian DFC initiative. A partially mixed-methods sequential equal status design guided this process evaluation. Data sources included surveys completed by public consultation participants, focus groups with the group members who led the public consultation process, and the report outlining consultation findings. Study results highlight the strengths and limitations of public consultations, offer recommendations for engaging persons living with dementia in public consultations, and emphasize the importance of including persons living with dementia in DFC initiatives as project partners and public consultation participants.
