Did you know that there are more than 747,000 Canadians living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and that in the Niagara Region alone there are more than 10,000 people living with progressive dementia? It is likely that someone you know is living with or has a loved one who is living with this affliction and the number of cases continues to grow.
Working with vulnerable populations, we at Rose Hill Lane have seen firsthand the strain that an Alzheimer’s, or dementia diagnosis, can cause for the patient and their loved ones. We know however, that with the right care and resources, Alzheimer’s can become a very manageable aspect of one’s aging process. This is why we are so grateful to the Alzheimer’s Society for the work they do in providing quality support resources and services to people living with the disease and their families. Also commendable is the tireless work they do to educate and engage the public in the nuances of this disease.
