Because we will all be caregivers: National Caregivers Week 2018
 |
In Quebec, the first week in November is National Caregivers Week! This year, Caregivers Week is from November 4 to 10.
To mark this important week, the Alzheimer Society of Montreal joins l’Appui pour les proches aidants d’aînés and its partners to raise public awareness about the role of caregivers.
During National Caregivers Week, connect to the Society’s social networks to find out the extent of the actions taken by caregivers using the hashtag #AllCaregivers.
As part of National Caregivers Week, the Alzheimer Society of Montreal team is also organizing several events and particpating in a number of others organized by our partners!
We hope to see you there!

National Caregivers Week 2018: Upcoming Activities in Montreal!
What They Had in Montreal!
 |
Written and directed by Elizabeth Chomko, What They Had is based upon the real-life experience of the director whose grandmother had dementia. Here is a brief plot summary:
After her ailing mother Ruth (Blythe Danner) wanders off during a blizzard, Bridget (Hilary Swank) returns to her childhood home in Chicago to help her family make a difficult decision. Her brother Nicky (Michael Shannon) is determined that Ruth should be placed in a sought-after “memory care” facility; however, her father Bert (Robert Forster) insists that she remain at home.

What They Had will be publicly released on Friday, October 26, exclusively at Cineplex Montreal Forum.
