June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and Extendicare's National Policy Consultant tells us why we don't have an abuse prevention policy - but a zero tolerance policy.

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month

As Canada’s aging population continues to increase, so does the number of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We are reminded that ageing is the biggest factor for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This cannot be changed. However, there are lots of things you can do to reduce your risk.

It is never too late to develop good healthy habits. You will find it easier to adopt a healthier lifestyle if you can build it into your daily routine. Find support from your family and friends, better yet encourage them to join you.
