In-Home Memory care
NOW ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS. JFSC is excited to announce the launch of In-Home Memory Care, a program designed for individuals diagnosed with memory loss, dementia or Alzheimer’s. This program started at the beginning of May. The program is an in-home service where staff engage with the client to deliver brain boosting activities that support them with their diagnosis, while also providing respite opportunities for the caregiver to engage in self-care during what is otherwise a very isolating and difficult time. JFSC is working with the Alzheimer Society of Calgary to ensure that our In-Home Memory Care staff are equipped with dementia-specific training and tools to deliver quality, person-centered care to our clients in their homes. Please contact JFSC at 403.287.3510 for further information regarding program description and referral information.

It is not about trying to fix the situation; it is about empowering change and bringing people together. Join JFSC and Sagesse for an online webinar on Monday, May 4th at 1pm, and let's get REAL.
