Ontario Improving Alzheimer's Support Services
March 10, 2016 12:30 P.M.

Seniors' Secretariat
 

Ontario is investing $761,500 in the Alzheimer Society of Ontario's Finding Your Way program to help improve training and reach more people who come into contact with persons affected by dementia.

The Finding Your Way program is a multicultural safety campaign that helps people with dementia stay safe and active, while helping to prevent the risk of wandering and going missing. The program's training services will be enhanced this year to include first-responders as well as supportive housing and retirement homes staff.

Investing in services and supports to help keep seniors safe is part of the government's plan to build stronger and healthier communities.

 
Quick Facts
•By 2020, nearly 250,000 seniors in Ontario will be living with some form of dementia.
•Three out of five people with dementia go missing. There is greater risk of injury, even death, for those missing for more than 24 hours.
•Ontario has invested more than $2.8 million in funding to the Finding Your Way program.
•The Finding Your Way program safety kit is available in 12 languages: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, Cantonese, Mandarin, Punjabi, Tagalog, Arabic, Urdu and Tamil.
