Dementia
Over 500,000 Canadians have dementia and this number is expected to double within twenty years. The difficulties of this mental illness are well known to Canadians: studies show that dementia is the second-most feared illness, after cancer.

Your donation will help provide the financial resources Ontario Shores needs to develop interventions and programs that help individuals with dementia stay in their own home longer, with the full care that they need. The Community Dementia Care initiative, presented in partnership with the University of Toronto, works to support and train family members, health care providers and staff at long-term care and retirement facilities with tools that can prevent or delay the onset of challenging behaviours which require hospitalization.
