Ontario putting more than $93,000 towards local dementia care

Ontario is investing more than $93,000 in local care for dementia.

Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark says the funding will go to supporting the Alzheimer Society of Lanark Leeds Grenville and their community-based First Link Care Navigation program.

Clark says the program connects people living with dementia, and their families, with help navigating care, education, and resources.

“I’m pleased our government is making this investment to support the Alzheimer Society and their ongoing work to provide vital community-based services to those living with dementia and their families in Leeds and Grenville,” said MPP Clark. “I’m confident this funding will ensure even more people can access the First Link program and get the services they need in place quickly.”

The funding is part of the Ontario government’s $6.9 million investment over two years to support those who have received a dementia diagnosis on their care journey.
