A recent survey showed that 47 percent of Canadians believe that it’s not possible to live well with Alzheimer disease or another form of dementia.  The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba is trying to change that.  Their CEO Wendy Schettler says one of the things they do have going on is a website at www.alzheimer.mb.ca hash tag still here and on that site they highlight some of the people with dementia so people hear their stories and then caregivers do a questionnaire survey about their knowledge on dementia and then they have a section on challenging people on what they can do.

January is Alzheimer Awareness Month.
