Approximately 66% of individuals living with dementia and receiving home care services also have other health conditions. Enhancing home care for these individuals starts with meaningful strategies: ✔️ Improving access to professional care, respite, and tailored support services for families and caregivers. ✔️ Streamlining the coordination of home care to make navigating services seamless and stress-free. ✔️ Providing clear, practical information on dementia diagnosis, prognosis, and care planning to empower families. It’s time to strengthen home care and support systems for those living with dementia and their caregivers.

“As do many Canadians, my wife, Suzanne, wanted palliative care support. She wanted to talk about her probable trajectory long before the clinicians were willing to do so, and got her first palliative consultation just three days before she died. At that point she could not participate in the conversation, and I had to convey her values and wishes on her behalf.” – Paul Adams Learn more about Paul’s story and how the Competency Framework is an opportunity to improve the proficiency of health teams: #PalliativeCare #HealthCanada #HomeCare #eiCOMPASS #SafetyWeek

People with dementia often have complex needs and co-morbidities, making caregiving especially challenging. Despite their vital role in the healthcare team, caregivers report significant dissatisfaction with home care support, coordination, and future planning services. Key priorities for immediate action: 1️⃣ Enhancing awareness and support for caregivers. 2️⃣ Providing comprehensive education for healthcare providers. 3️⃣ Promoting early diagnosis and coordinated care management. By focusing on these areas, we can improve outcomes for individuals living with dementia and their families.

Caring for a person living with dementia is both meaningful and demanding. ✅ Caregivers provide 75% more care compared to other caregivers. ✅ They experience nearly 20% higher levels of stress. ✅ Only 19% feel ‘very well-prepared’ to manage behavioural symptoms associated with dementia. It is crucial to equip caregivers with the resources, education, and support they need. @AlzCanada @CIHI_ICIS @ParkinsonOnt @HuntingtonSC @ccna_ccnv @canadanurses @SchlegelUW_RIA #AlzheimersAwareness #CaregiverSupport #DementiaSupport #Alzheimers #BrainHealth
