September 21st is World Alzheimer's Day. It is dedicated to raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, as well as educating people about the condition and encouraging support for families and individuals living with dementia.
To commemorate this day, we highlight a few of our Healthy Seniors Pilot Projects that focus on Alzheimer’s and dementia. These projects are instrumental in understanding and addressing the challenges associated with dementia:
- New Brunswick Brain Health Initiative: Preventing Alzheimer’s by Lessening Modifiable Risk (NB-PALM)
- Introducing Gentle Persuasiveness Approaches (GPA) in Dementia Care to Informal and Formal Caregivers in the Community Setting
- Co-designing Dementia Care in New Brunswick: Building the Future Together
- Piloting Patient Navigation for People with Dementia, Their Caregivers, and Members of the Care Team
- Proactive Care for Persons with Dementia: Using In-Home Passive Sensors to Reduce Caregiver Stress and Promote Aging in Place
You can explore these and other projects addressing issues that impact New Brunswick seniors on the Healthy Seniors Pilot Project table of projects.
In recognition of World Alzheimer's Day, we want to advocate for those directly or indirectly affected by Alzheimer’s by supporting research, promoting education and raising awareness.
