Alzheimer Society Info Guide Winter 2023

A Message from our CEO
The Alzheimer Society
of Sarnia Lambton offers
support, information,
education, and system
navigation to people
living with dementia,
their families, and
their care partners. We
strive to increase public
awareness of dementia
and advocate for services
that respect the dignity of
the individual.
Our caring team of staff
and volunteers work diligently
to fulfill the Society’s mission, to
alleviate the personal and social
consequences of Alzheimer’s
disease and other dementias and to
promote research.
Support is available to anyone
affected by memory loss or
dementia, and our staff work with
healthcare professionals, and other
community agencies so that they
too can provide person-centred and
meaningful support to people living
with dementia.
The Society prides itself on
forward- thinking, collaborative,
inclusive, diverse, and equitable
practices and is recognized as a
leading resource in the community.
We were honoured this year to
receive an Outstanding Business
Achievement Award in the category
of Non-Profit of the Year from
the Sarnia Lambton Chamber of
Commerce.

We know that social
isolation is one of the most
difficult outcomes for
many people living with
dementia. The benefits
of active living programs
can help reduce
isolation and relieve
care partner stress.
Evidence demonstrates
that programs such
as day programs,
respite, social recreation,
education, support groups
and counseling assist people
to live well in our community. It also
eases the burden on our healthcare
system. In the testimonials included
in this publication, you can see the
wonderful feedback received from
clients participating in our services.
We hope this publication will be
helpful for you to learn more about
our services and programs and
how they can help you, your family
member, your neighbour or anyone
else in Lambton County living with
dementia. Clients have shared that
they wish they had connected with
the Alzheimer Society earlier to
help with navigation throughout
their journey. Early intervention has
proven to be helpful to everyone
involved.

VULNERABLE PERSONS REGISTRY
Do you know someone living with dementia?
3 out of 5 people living
with dementia will go
missing at some point, a
frightening experience,
and a dangerous one.
