If you or your loved one is living with Alzheimer’s disease, you can rely on Ohana Care for in-home support. Our Alzheimer’s care services are purposefully designed to enhance the wellbeing of those with Alzheimer’s or dementia, allowing them to maintain fulfilling and optimistic lifestyles.

What is Alzheimer’s Care?

Living with Alzheimer’s disease or supporting a loved one who received an Alzheimer’s diagnosis? It’s common for those living with Alzheimer’s to experience disorientation or changes in personality that can affect their quality of life. Alzheimer’s care can provide additional support so you can continue to live a happy and fulfilled life.

Thousands of Canadians are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. MP Fortin joined Global News Calgary with information on detecting and dealing with the illness.
