Dementia

Caregivers, the unsung heroes of dementia care, are taking centre stage in an ambitious initiative to redefine aging-in-place for persons living with dementia.

Hello, friends and fellow advocates for mental health and dementia care,

WHITBY, ONTARIO – Dementia, in its many forms, is a critical health-care issue in Canada that affects patients, families and caregivers in profound ways.

Tristan, a 4^th year university student, aspires to be an occupational therapist.  He tries to balance his academic responsibilities with providing remote care for his frail 94-year-old grandmother who lives 2 hours away.

After many visits to the family doctor and a hospital stay in Durham, it became apparent that Nona’s husband, Lawrence, was deteriorating.

I am proud to officially welcome our Family Intervention Therapy (FIT) trained clinicians!

Have you or someone you know recently been diagnosed with early onset dementia or mild cognitive impairment?
