Building Better Days
New Dementia Centre Update: We Have a Building!
March 8, 2019 – Acclaim Health is now the proud owner of 2250 Speers Road in Oakville, the site of our new Dementia Care Centre.
At the moment it’s a warehouse that needs some love, but over the next year we’re going to completely transform it – inside and out. We’ll be adding glass, windows, lots of natural light, gardens, patios, and the best in dementia design. You can help us make the dream a reality by donating today!
New Dementia Care Centre
Our new, state-of-the-art building will be a centre of excellence for dementia care in the province and is expected to open in mid 2020.
It will feature:
- An expanded Adult Day Program (more spaces, more days, more hours!)
- Eight short stay overnight respite beds
- Enhanced support for families
- Best practices in dementia friendly design

The Need
Demand for dementia care has reached crisis levels.
- Our Adult Day Program waiting list is now almost 100 people long, and it’s taking almost a year for people to get the help they need.
- No short stay overnight respite options exist for people with dementia in Halton.
- The need for family support has increased by over 30% in two years.
We hear daily from families who are stretched to the breaking point. Real, transformational change needs to happen now.
