January Is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month

A new year also means the start of Alzheimer’s Awareness month.
It’s aimed at raising awareness and helping people understand the signs of the disease.
Lynn Moffatt of the Alzheimer’s Society for Kenora-Rainy River says over one thousand people in our region are now effected.
A number of different support groups are offered to those with the disease and their families.
In addition, a new national campaign is also to be launched today.
