Alzheimer Society’s response to Covid-19 

At the Alzheimer Society, we take your health and wellbeing very seriously.  

Right now, there is a new virus in the world called COVID-19 and it is spreading quickly.  

We want to do our part to keep our clients and those in our community healthy and to help slow down the spread of the illness so we are making some temporary changes, until further notice:  

• All groups (exercise classes, art class, support groups, peer groups, volunteer-led etc.), are cancelled until further notice; 
• Volunteer-visiting is cancelled until further notice; 
• Home visits and office visits are cancelled; 
• Clients are welcome to connect with staff and volunteers by phone or video conference, but not in person. 

At this time, the staff and volunteers of the Alzheimer Society are working hard to come up with creative ways that we can use telephones, iPads, and computers to stay in touch. 

To talk to staff in your community, please call your local office:
