Memorable gifts

Give a gift that makes a difference !

Purchase a memorable gift for your loved one this holiday season

Educate a Family:
Improve the quality of life for families affected by Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Your gift will ensure each family recieves an information kit with in-depth information about dementia, care strategies and services available to help in their community. Show families they are not alone, with your gift today.

Grow Research Opportunities:
The Society is committed to providing excellence in local and national research in the hope to find the causes, treatments and a cure for the disease. Every year the Society awards the annual Phyllis Horton Bursary to a student in Nova Scotia who is pursuing research in Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Your gift will help fund local researchers as they begin their career.

Provide a Support System:
When first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, it can be overwhelming; there are many questions families have. The Alzheimer InfoLine is a confidential toll-free service that connects families to informed and caring staff and volunteers. Your gift will help provide information, education, guidance and emotional support that can help those affected on their journey.

Support a Caregiver:
Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias can leave those with the disease and their caregivers feeling isolated. The Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia offers family caregiver support groups throughout the province. Your gift will help provide more support groups so that more people have a safe place to go to learn about the disease and help each other through mutual understanding.
