Service Description:
|
The Alzheimer Society of Toronto offers support, information, programs, and education to people living with dementia, their families and care partners, and health care professionals. Our goals are to increase public awareness of dementia, promote research, and advocate for services that respect the dignity of the individual and support people to remain independent in their own homes for as long as possible.
Supports and programs include: free counselling, support gorups, dementia workshops and certificate training programs, care navigation and referral to other community services, active living programs (recreational activities/ creative therapy programs), and the music project.
Resource Materials are available online and print materials are available to order.
