What is Alzheimer’s Care?

Living with Alzheimer’s can be challenging, and it’s common for those with the disease to struggle with disorientation or changes in personality that can affect their quality of life. Alzheimer’s care can provide the support that you or your loved ones need so you can feel fulfilled and happy, regardless of your diagnosis.

Each year, there are thousands of Canadians who receive an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. MP Fortin joined Global News Calgary with information on detecting and dealing with the illness.

Additional Resources

Alzheimer Society

The Alzheimer Society of Calgary supports those living with Alzheimer’s by ensuring that they have appropriate access to care, health professionals, and education throughout their wellness journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there financial help for people with dementia?

People diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia and their supporting family members may qualify for the Canadian Disability Tax Credit, a non-refundable tax credit that reduces the amount of income tax that one is required to pay. There are also a number of income assistance resources available to those with dementia.

How fast does Alzheimer's progress?

Alzheimer’s disease progresses differently for different people. The disease can last only a few years or over a decade, worsening gradually as the years progress.

What is the best care for Alzheimer's?

We believe that the best care for those with Alzheimer’s is one that is provided by skilled caregivers who provide care with genuine empathy while upholding the principles outlined in the Dementia Bill of Rights. This combination ensures individuals receive high-quality, personalized support as they navigate the different stages of the disease.

Do you provide 24-hour in-home memory care in Edmonton?

Yes. Ohana Care can provide 24-hour support for clients living with Alzheimer's in Edmonton, so your family isn't limited to scheduled daytime visits when more constant support is needed. Depending on your loved one's needs, home care from Ohana Care can include options such as 24-hour care or live-in dementia care in Edmonton, both designed to keep an experienced caregiver present around the clock.

24-hour support tends to become necessary as Alzheimer's advances and families notice signs such as:

Increased disorientation, especially in the evening or overnight
Agitation or mood changes that are harder to manage alone
Safety risks such as leaving the home unsupervised
A single daily visit is no longer enough to keep your loved one safe and comfortable

As with all of Ohana Care's memory care services, 24-hour and live-in dementia and Alzheimer’s care arrangements are built around getting to know your loved one's routines, preferences, and what tends to upset or comfort them, so care still feels personal rather than clinical. Ohana Care's community manager works with you to determine the right level of coverage and to match your household with a suitable caregiver.
