Enhancing Social Connections after a Diagnosis |
While a dementia diagnosis can place individuals at an increased risk of social isolation and loneliness, this does not have to characterize life after a diagnosis. With support, individuals living with dementia continue to enjoy meaningful social experiences and maintain valued friendships. |

Dr. Darla Fortune, PhD
Associate Professor, Applied Human Sciences, Concordia University

Films reflect different perspectives on a variety of mental illnesses such as depression. People living with dementia require mental health support as they can experience depression, anxiety or lack the motivation to do things they previously found meaningful.
Improving the mental health of someone with dementia can enhance their quality of life, for example, by helping them engage with friends and relatives, improve their appetite and sleep quality, and boost their morale.

Programs For People Living With Dementia |
|
The Morty Gross and Busner Family Activity Centre |
AGI is pleased to announce that its Activity Centre has been named The Morty Gross and Busner Family Activity Centre in memory of Morty Gross, the father of Adina Gross-Busner and father-in-law to Harold Busner, papa of Jordan, Samantha and Lauren.
They share, “AGI was instrumental in ensuring that Morty experienced quality of life while living with Alzheimer’s disease in a safe, caring environment where he could belong and thrive. We are committed to ensuring that AGI sustains and continues to grow its support services and programs to help families, such as ours, navigate the road untraveled upon receiving their loved one’s diagnosis.”
|
|
|
Both online and in-person activities are available |
|
These activities improve the quality of life for individuals living with dementia who have physical, mental, social or emotional limitations by helping them engage in meaningful leisure experiences.
The social in-person groups are where people can develop a personal rapport and bond with each other. It has been a pleasure for the therapists and our members to recreate these wonderful group dynamics.
For more information, call or email us.
