Dementia Advice

Dementia Advice responds to the immediate needs of persons with dementia living in community settings and their care partners, who require health related advice, education, information on community resources, and emotional support for events that occur during the course of dementia.

Between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily, you can phone 811 and press the option to speak to a nurse specializing in dementia. They will answer your call, go through an assessment and provide advice and resources for your immediate concerns.

After hours, Health Link staff will assess your needs and provide advice for your immediate concerns. When needed, you will be referred to a specialized dementia nurse for additional advice.

If you or someone you know is living with Dementia and have a question, call 811 and select the dementia advice line or complete our self-referral form.
