Building Better Days
The Campaign
You can help us make the new centre a reality. Donate today to help build and furnish this state-of-the-art facility.
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.
At the moment 2250 Speers Road (at left) is a warehouse that needs some love. Help us completely transform it – inside and out!
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 late 2020.
It will feature:
- Eight short stay overnight respite beds (the only ones in Halton)
- An expanded Adult Day Program for people with dementia (more clients each day, longer hours each day, adding Sunday care)
- An Adult Day Program for frail older adults (one of the S.E.N.A.C.A. Oakville locations)
- Caregiver support for families
- Best practices in dementia friendly design
