About us
The Alzheimer Society of Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, and Haliburton is dedicated to improving the quality of life for those living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. How do we do operate? SUPPORT SERVICES: When people are first diagnosed with dementia we try to make contact as soon as possible. Most frequently, one of our Client Support Coordinators (CSC) will make a home visit to the person living with dementia and their family to speak with them and answer questions. That CSC stays in touch with that client through their journey and can be contacted with any questions or concerns going forward. Our CSC’s help clients to navigate the health care system, access appropriate services within the Alzheimer Society and the community, and generally help clients solve the various practical issues that arise when a person has dementia. EDUCATION: CSCs will often recommend that clients attend our educational workshops. Education is an important tool for managing the changes that come with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING: It’s been shown that people living with dementia have better outcomes if they continue to be social and physically active. We provide social and recreational programs tailored to the needs of people living with dementia. FUNDRAISING: To support the functioning of these programs we ask donors in our region to contribute in various ways. The Alzheimer Society supports people through all stages in their dementia journey, but in order to do so we need people to know that we exist and understand that we’re here to help. If you know someone with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or an undiagnosed memory problem, please help them to get in touch: Email: info@alzheimerjourney.ca Tel: 705-748-5131 To donate, visit www.donatealz.ca.
