Alzheimer Society Peel hasn't added a story.
Meal time and our kitchen has become a valued and special place for our Brampton Day Program members. It brings together over 50 people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias a week to share in celebration, fun, laughter, friendship, and nourishment.
As the location grows, and the number of clients increase each year; these appliances become even more vital to accommodate our members and provide positive experiences. A new stove, dishwasher and refrigerator are all needed for our site.
The appliances are not solely used for providing three meals a day, but used in programming for our seniors. Programs such as baking, cooking lessons, and inventing new recipes are just a few of the ways our staff can engage members socially and cognitively. This can help recall memories, foster meaningful relationships with others, and increase self-esteem and self-worth. The day program becomes a home away from home where our members can remain independent, and part of the community in which they live. It reduces social isolation and allows caregivers to gain much needed daily respite knowing their loves ones are being cared for.
Alzheimer Society Peel is the largest chapter in Canada providing over 42,000 individuals with programs and services each year. This number is continually growing and with limited funding available we ask for the community’s assistance in purchasing new appliances so staff can continue to care for our beloved seniors affected by this horrible disease.
Should anyone have any questions or concerns about the campaign or the Society please contact b.deimling@alzheimerpeel.com.

About Alzheimer Society Peel
The Alzheimer Society Peel was incorporated in 1983 as a charitable non-profit organization to alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias; to help find the cause, prevention and cure. Since that time, our Chapter has diligently worked to support families and individuals affected by the disease. The Society serves the Region of Peel through our offices in Brampton and Mississauga. Our Chapter promotes public and professional awareness of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and offers a variety of programs and services. All services and programs operate either free of charge or for a nominal fee. We offer Day Programs, counselling, support and bereavement groups, public education, the First Link Program, volunteer opportunities and access to a 24 hour respite care home. Alzheimer Society Peel works with all service providers to ensure that optimum health and social services are provided for the family and persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in the Region of Peel. In our last Fiscal Year the chapter served over 42, 000 individuals. Alzheimer Society Peel is the largest chapter in Canada and the first to become accredited for its services and programs by CARF International.
