Dementia doesn't just affect the lives of individuals. It profoundly impacts families.

This section of our website, Living with Dementia, contains helpful information and resources for people who have received a diagnosis of dementia, their caregivers, and other family members.

I Have Dementia

If you have received a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, this is the place to start. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides information and support throughout your journey with the disease.
 

Caring for Someone with Dementia

Being a caregiver is challenging at any stage of dementia, and at times can be overwhelming. Whether your family member has recently been diagnosed, or they are experiencing more advanced symptoms, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides the resources and support you need.

Children, Teens and Dementia

Individuals with dementia can continue to have meaningful relationships with young people throughout the progression of their disease. In this section, find resources on Alzheimer's disease and dementia that have been designed specifically for children and teens.



"I chose to paint a large single object, as I like the bold vividness of it. Vivid colours give me life and energy. The boldness of an individual flower is like a person with dementia. Each flower and person is different and each has a uniqueness and beautiful qualities. To me my painting means simplicity."
