Alzheimer’s Care

Everyone deserves a best friend. Naima Care is certified with the Best Friends™ Approach, a recognized approach to building rewarding relationships with adults with Alzheimer’s disease.

What Is Alzheimer’s Care?

Living with Alzheimer’s disease or supporting a loved one who received an Alzheimer’s diagnosis? It’s common for those living with Alzheimer’s to experience disorientation or changes in personality that can affect their quality of life. Alzheimer’s care can provide additional support so you can continue to live a happy and fulfilled life.

Thousands of Canadians are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. MP Fortin joined Global News Calgary with information on detecting and dealing with the illness.
