The COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation is rapidly evolving in Prince Edward Island and around the world. The Alzheimer Society of PEI is continuing to monitor the situation.

On behalf of the Alzheimer Society Board of Directors: Our decision-making is guided by the latest information from the Public Health Agency of Canada, PEI Government Health and Wellness, for up to date news from our Chief Health Officer and Government of PEI as well as up to date closures as a result of Covid-19 via CBC. The health and safety of our community members is paramount to us.

It is our priority to make sure we continue to provide our programs and services for people living with dementia and their caregivers. We have and will remain accessible by phone, and where appropriate, will make use of technology so that Islanders can receive the support needed.
