Care Partners of Persons Living with Dementia
HOW WE HELP
As a family caregiver, you may experience complex emotions and stress, and have to take on new roles and responsibilities. At times you may also find it difficult to balance the different aspects of your life. Our group and individual programs are designed to help.
COVID-19: Information for Reitman Centre patients and visitors
The health, safety and well-being of our patients, their families and our staff is our highest priority at the Reitman Centre. Some of our patients and their families are high risk for getting very sick from COVID 19.
In an effort to minimize the potential risk of exposure to COVID 19, the Reitman Centre Team is expanding patient and caregiver program delivery methods to include phone visits and/or video conferencing technology.
In addition, we are exploring ways to disseminate accurate health information, resources and online events using our www.dementiacarers.ca website. Please contact us with your questions and suggestions.
