Providing care to someone with dementia is challenging. Part of the challenge is to provide care while still caring for yourself. The Alzheimer Society has volunteers available to provide group or individual support. For more information on the Caregiver Group or Telephone Support Volunteer nearest you please call the Alzheimer InfoLine at (902) 422-7961 or toll free (outside Metro) at 1-800-611-6345.
