About Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is the leading form of dementia. It is a fatal progressive disease of the brain that robs memory and steals the ability to reason, communicate and perform daily tasks. Changes in the brain can begin to appear decades before diagnosis and progression can last between seven and 10 years. Eventually, the person affected will require 24-hour care and supervision. Age is the single biggest risk factor but the disease can strike as early as 40.
About the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories
The Alzheimer Society is part of the leading nationwide health organization for people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia in Canada. The Society in Alberta supports innovative research, provides enhanced care and support to people with the disease, their families and their caregivers and is a prominent voice with government.
Alzheimer’s disease has no known cause or cure. Until a cure is found, the Alzheimer Society is here to help and provide support to those impacted by the disease. The Society works to heighten awareness, provide support services and support research into the cause and a cure for this disease.
