Finding your way Ontario
For people with dementia, every step counts.
Finding Your Way® helps people living with dementia, their families, caregivers and communities to recognize the risk of going missing, be prepared for incidents of going missing, and ensure that people with dementia can live safely in the community.
60 percent of people with dementia-related memory problems become lost at some point. Below, we outline the ways Finding Your Way can help.
Important: If you know someone with dementia who has gone missing, please call 911 immediately.

MyVision.org is a free digital resource led by expert ophthalmologists and optometrists to provide trusted information on eye health and vision.
Recent studies and research strongly link eye health to various conditions, including Alzheimer's. Advancements in technology and more research into the causes and effects of Alzheimer's disease have led to the realization that doctors can confirm a diagnosis by using refined eye examinations.
We created a guide that discusses the link between eyes and Alzheimer's, how the disease affects your eyes, the use of eye exams for early detection, and more! Please take a look:

Positive Approach to Care
with Teepa Snow
Teepa's life mission is to shed a positive light on dementia.
Living life well for all involved when any sort of brain change enters the picture is possible, but it takes putting relationships first along with hard work and new skills to change. There is constantly new information being gathered about dementia and care. Teepa stays on top of that new information and shares it out in a way that anyone connected to dementia can understand why this is happening and how to support those living with brain change in a more positive and respectful way.
