During Alzheimer's Awareness Month and beyond, the Community Living Society reflects on the unique challenges faced by seniors with intellectual disabilities. In 2024, all Community Living Society leaders received training on the use of the NTG Early Detection Screen for Dementia. For the next three calendar years, we are also participating in a research study with Queen’s University to evaluate the implementation of a dementia screening tool for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Work like this ensures that the Community Living Society, stays committed to fostering a compassionate and supportive community for all!
Happy New Year! Here’s to a year of setting goals, embracing growth, and creating more opportunities for everyone to thrive!
