World Alzheimer’s Month Comes to an end…………..
Yesterday marked the end of September, but it also marked the end of the second global World Alzheimer’s month. The Theme of this month was “Dementia: a journey of caring” and an important report, “ Journey of Caring: An analysis of long-term care for dementia” was launched to coincide with this awareness initiative:
Mosaic together with the Alzheimer Society of York Region held an Alzheimer’s Coffee Break, to raise money for the Alzheimer Society, on 18th September.
Jonathan Macri from the Alzheimer’s Society of York Region was there to provide information on programmes and resources available. Mosaic provided the coffee and refreshments in a Cafe setting. in the centre court, at The Shops on Steeles & 404. Mosaic staff, including one of our caregivers, served coffee and refreshments on chequered tables with French music playing in the background. We even had some of our own clients turn up for this event.
Coffee Break is one of the Alzheimer’s Society’s annual fundraisers where many individuals and businesses across Canada raise funds for their local Alzheimer’s Societies. People are free to make a donation for their coffee or refreshments, to talk and to find out more about Alzheimer’s and the Alzheimer’s Society.
