We 'd like to remind all of the caregivers out there to check your and your loved one's blood pressure regularly. It's a debilitating disease and often has no symptoms. Loneliness increases the chances of getting high blood pressure and other diseases. Be proactive, be healthy.

Yet another @event with NO consumers as keynote speakers https://t.co/v1MHIMhJzF It really is time for people withOUT #dementia especially those who are invited onto panels or as speakers, to advocate for this. People with #dementia have been for 3 decades, yet still need to😪😬

Even if you’re not a client of the Alzheimer Society (in any province) you can always call and get advice, support, you can even self refer yourself to their services. This is what the first link program is across the country.
