About 61% of seniors with dementia in Canada live at home — and they require support while staying there.
There are approximately 5.8 million seniors in Canada and about 5.5 million live at home. CIHI analysis finds that of the estimated 431,000 seniors living with dementia in 2015–2016, more than 261,000 were estimated to reside outside of publicly funded long-term care or nursing homes.
“Canadians living with dementia want to maintain their independence; they want to live at home and engage with their community,” said Pauline Tardif, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of Canada. “Comprehensive home and community care is an essential part of this equation. It helps maintain quality of life for people with dementia while also providing needed support for caregivers.”(1)
