What is the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia?

There are over 100 different types and being a caregiver to someone with dementia can be the most physical, emotional, and isolating experience in one’s life. Burnout cannot be ignored.

Join us to learn about the most diagnosed types of dementia, how they present, and how can you support a caregiver who is caring for someone living with a dementia.

Presented by Jaime Cruz, public education coordinator at the Alzheimer Society of York Region.
Jaime will be joined by xxx from Amica Unionville who will share how staff at this senior living community support local families impacted by dementia.
