Provincial Dementia Strategy

The Alzheimer Society of PEI is presently involved as a member on the Provincial Dementia Strategy Steering Committee. The Dementia Strategy is intended to ease the lives of individuals living with dementia and their caregivers as they journey along the continuum of care. The goal of the Dementia Strategy is to develop a clear direction for dementia related services and supports. Up to date there have been a number of meetings including a planning day focusing on creating goals, identifying priorities, and discussing timelines. The committee has received invaluable information from experts in dementia care across Canada, including Dr. Ken Rockwood, Dr. Janice Keefe, and Dr. Nick Kates. The next meeting for the committee is scheduled for Fall 2010.
