The Canadian Institute for Health Information reports that unpaid caregivers of people living with dementia are more likely (45%) to experience distress than caregivers of other seniors (26%). The Ottawa and Renfrew County support organization for people living with dementia, and for people caring for people diagnosed with dementia, know that caregiver distress is at an all time high.
The Ottawa and Renfrew County support organization is available to help with free education, support and programming.
