This Fall, pour a cup with purpose. Host a Coffee Break this fall and know you’re doing more than sharing a cup. You’re helping create a world without Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, while supporting programs and services right here in Windsor-Essex.

Mike and Karen Kessler share their journey with dementia. Rather than stepping back, they stepped forward to educate others, break stigma and prove that a dementia diagnosis does not define the person.

Produced by Axel Films and currently featured on CTV Windsor, their story is one of resilience, love, and continued impact.

Getting a day off to take a break to rest and relax is a common luxury for many people. For families who are living with dementia there is no day off from dementia. But with the help from their community, families living with dementia can get a much needed break.

Established in Windsor in 1981, the Alzheimer Society of Windsor and Essex County is dedicated to serving those with Alzheimer’s disease, and related dementia and their caregivers in the community.

Whether you want to learn more about the programs and services we offer, or find dementia-related information specific to your needs, the Alzheimer Society has the education and resources to help you.

You can get involved in lots of ways, including volunteering with your local Alzheimer Society, fundraising, advocating, and donating. As a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with dementia, one of our main goals is to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

The Alzheimer Society provides many educational opportunities for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, caregivers, and health-care professionals.
