“Without the support of the Alzheimer Society, I honestly do not know where Hugh and I would be. I have learned so much about Alzheimer’s disease, how to best take care of Hugh and myself, and how to prepare myself for the road ahead.”
Debby
“I found the Cafe informative and easy to navigate.”
Ambassador
“I find ASANT Cafe a welcoming place to learn about the challenges individuals with Alzheimer's face as this journey unfolds. In the live sessions I am able to freely ask questions, and feel supported as I reach out to expand my knowledge about Alzheimers and other dementias. Alzheimers is a disease of the brain and is a disease we, as a society, are just beginning to share personal experiences about its impact on individuals and on families.”
Susan Thomson, Care Partner
“Every dollar donated is well spent and worthwhile. The support and education provided by the Society are absolutely invaluable to those that need them.”
Carol
