Lisa’s talk was about dementia, a topic that has touched almost all our members in one way or another. She began her presentation with details about the various forms of dementia of which Alzheimer’s is but one. She provided a very informative list of the various programs available in Brantford/Brant for dementia patients and their caregivers. She then outlined the Day and Stay program that she is responsible for, located at the John Noble Home. This includes a day program, a “sunset” program as well as overnight options.

It was clear how much care and compassion Lisa has for the many individuals and their families who participate in the Day and Stay Program. She laughs and cries with them as they navigate the challenges of dementia and find hope and respite at Day and Stay.

Lisa emphasized that she is more than happy to provide more information to anyone wishing to learn more about dementia and programs for support, especially the Day and Stay program.

It was apparent that the CFUW members deeply appreciated not just the information Lisa shared, but the level of commitment she has to her clients and family members.
