Alzheimer's Society

Alzheimer Society offers support, information, programs and education to people living with dementia, their families and their caregivers. We work to increase public awareness of dementia, to promote research, and to advocate for services that respect the dignity of the individual.

 

First Link: is a referral program designed to help newly diagnosed people with dementia get the help they need as soon as possible. The Alzheimer Society provides services and support at the time of diagnosis and throughout the duration of the disease. Individuals and their families are linked to learning, services and care as early as possible in the disease process.

How to apply:  Anyone diagnosed with alzheimers, concerned friends, family or caregiver can self-refer to First Link. They can arrange for an appointment to assess their individual needs and be connected to the ideal supports.  Call any of the number below, or visit an office.
