The Bruce Peninsula Hospice hosted a special “dementia-inclusive event” recently in Wiarton.<\/p>\n
On October 7, the hospice invited people living with memory loss or dementia, along with their families and caregivers, to the event called Remembering Wiarton.<\/p>\n
It featured “dementia-inclusive signage and decorations, trained volunteers assisting participants, and informal activities that encouraged social connection and community support,” according to Bruce Peninsula Hospice.<\/p>\n
The initiative was part of the Compassionate Dementia Inclusive Communities (CDIC) project, funded by Health Canada and developed from the research-based Nav-CARE program at the University of British Columbia \u2013 Okanagan.<\/p>\n
Locally, it was led by Bruce Peninsula Hospice in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce and Home and Community Support Services Grey-Bruce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bruce Peninsula Hospice hosted a special “dementia-inclusive event” recently in Wiarton.
