The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County

"The Dementia Society is Here to Help! Receiving a diagnosis of dementia changes lives for the person with dementia and those closest to them. The majority of people who approach us for help, or are referred, are walking the dementia journey as a caregiver, spouse, child or close friend. On other occasions an individual who has been diagnosed with dementia will connect to us. Some of our social programs and education offerings are designed for caregivers to attend with their loved ones. By offering caring and supportive counsel, dementia and caregiver information, education, referrals and help navigating the health and social care system, The Dementia Society helps over 7,500 people every year and receives the support of thousands of donors, volunteers and supporters to sustain our efforts. This is truly a community organization working for its community.
