The need for connection and engagement does not disappear with the diagnosis of memory loss, or dementia.
Our Memory Care volunteers come to your home for one-on-one activity support, while providing the opportunity for caregiver respite. Trained through the Alzheimer Society of Calgary’s Best Friends Approach™, volunteers build relationships and offer individually catered activities for cognitive, physical, social, and emotional support.
Our Program:
- Provides activities for cognitive, physical, social, emotional and creative support
- Builds connections and relationships
- Provides access to professional support and advocacy
We work with clients in their homes.
