The
Alzheimer Society offers support groups in many communities
for people in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease or
a related dementia. These groups provide a place to talk
with other people with the disease, where you can share
information and support.
Below
is a list of early stage support groups active in Canada.
Contact them directly for more information. If your community
does not yet have an early stage support group, please
