This Alzheimer's Awareness Month, our director @marie_y_s will be presenting on how supportive communication and virtual reality can be used to build connections with persons living with #dementia. Register for this free, virtual event today! #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth
#AlzheimersAwarenessMonth is coming to an end, but we are committed to sharing resources and information about this disease year round. Share this post to share your commitment to supporting people with #youngonsetdementia today and everyday!
The dignity of choice; young-onset dementia can make things feel out of control. We give our participants the ability to choose. We go out for lunch and each participant gets to choose what they order; a simple but powerful way of taking back choice in their lives! 🥙🌯🍔🥪🥗🍝
One of our focuses at YouQuest is to provide respite to care partners, giving them the comfort of knowing their loved one is engaged & safe in a supportive environment. Below are some resources from @CaregiversAB that can be used to support care partners: caregiversalberta.ca/resources/prin…
We make hundreds of decisions each day. For someone with young-onset dementia, too many options or choices can be stressful! At YouQuest, we give participants the dignity of choice. For example, each day when we arrive, we decide what to drink. What are you picking? 🫖☕
Our organization extends a lifeline to those navigating young-onset dementia by fostering understanding, providing resources, and building a community where our participants, care partners and volunteers thrive. Read personal statements on our impact below!
