An alarming number of Canadians — over 414 — are diagnosed each day with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.

By 2050, this could add up to more than 1.7 million cases, translating to 685 new diagnoses every day or 29 every hour.

That’s why reimagining Alzheimer’s care in Canada is not just important for the system — it is imperative for all Canadians.

The data comes from the Alzheimer Society of Ontario.

It’s going to take more than reimagining?  Families are going to have to learn how to care for people who will be close to or at the point where they cannot care for themselves.
