Thank you to all who support our Society
Message from the President
Greetings to all members of the newly formed Alzheimer Society of Hastings-
Prince Edward.
I speak as the former president of the merged Prince Edward Society as well as
the present president of the new and improved one. This amalgamation (let's
call it what it is) has been a work in progress for about three years now . The
Prince Edward County (PEC) Executive Director (ED) retired and Laura Hare
was contracted as interim ED while a taskforce evaluated organizational
options for the longer term. Laura subsequently retired and we now have
Maureen Corrigan as ED at the helm. Both chapters have joined together from
a position of strength financially, operationally, and with a sound reputation in
our respective communities. Bancroft, as well as Quinte West and Brighton,
have solid community support. We have strong partnerships and cooperation
among staff and volunteers who are committed ardently to the same cause—
that is, , Help for Today and Hope for Tomorrow for those persons affected by
Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
Initial reservations from PEC of a "takeover" and loss of identity have been
allayed with a strong community representation on the board from
throughout the region. During the last year and a half particularly, there has
been a significant rise in individuals and caregivers approaching us for
education regarding what their future will look like and how to cope with and
counter the effects of Alzheimer's. The bad news is that the Rising Tide is
coming ashore; the good news is that we are in position to help alleviate the
consequences. As the Baby Boomer generation population bubble advances
upon us, we are sure to be needed for some time to come. There have been
developments in slowing the progress of the disease and methods of earlier
diagnosis. However, there is a shortfall in finding a cure.
Alzheimer's disease does not seem to play favourites; it discriminates against
everyone equally. Life is not fair but neither is it futile so we must continue to
commit ourselves to the ongoing task of helping those affected. I am
confident that we as a board and as an organization are adequate to meet the
challenges before us.
Respectfully submitted,
Jon Leavens
2014-2015 Help for Today
A year of meetings
2 Alzheimer Society: Belleville-Hastings-Quinte & Prince Edward County
Amalgamation
The Joint Integration Committee was
comprised of three board members from each
Society:
• Jon Leavens, Lyn McGowan and Alexandra
Mayeski from Prince Edward
• Bev Rosser, Tom Muir and Wanda Yank
from Belleville-Hastings-Quinte
Sue Rawlinson from the Alzheimer Society of
Ontario provided support with research and
facilitation.
The committee met twice a month from
October through to February. A lawyer experienced in health organization and amalgamation guided
the committee through a myriad of paperwork required by government. When the approved
amalgamation application finally arrived, more paperwork ensued to make everything official for April
1, 2015.
The Southeast Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) supported this amalgamation financially with
$5000 towards legal costs. LHIN staff has also been very supportive in making sure that payments
would be transferred smoothly from two entities to a brand new one. (more paperwork!)
All Society staff were offered contracts with the new entity, and all accepted.
The process provided an opportunity for each Society to learn more about the other, in preparation for
April 1. It also opened the door to updating policies and procedures as each Society had its own sets.
This will be an ongoing task for the new board.
The amalgamation positions the Society to face the rising tide of dementia with a view to less money
spent on administration and more on programs and services. The new board has the opportunity to set
a new strategic plan to take the Society into the future.
All this to get to one piece of paper!

Community Involvement
The Alzheimer Society cannot work without community partners. Here are a few of the projects we’ve
been involved in this year.
BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT TRANSITIONAL UNIT (BSTU)
This unit is on the 4th floor of the new Sills Wing of Quinte Healthcare, Belleville site. Its purpose is to
help people with behaviours that are causing difficulty for caregivers—either in long term care or at
home. In 2014-2015, there were numerous meetings for the development of the unit’s design: the
referral process, use of volunteers, intake proceedings, care plan development, discharge planning,
caregiver issues etc. The Unit opened in the spring of 2015. The Education and Support Co-ordinators
had the opportunity to visit the unit, so they will be able to share information about the Unit with the
families they serve. The Unit receives referrals from across the LHIN (from beyond Brockville to
Brighton, from Bancroft to the County), so the local Society may need to support caregivers from away
who are looking for information locally.
IPOD PROJECT
In March 2015, the Society sponsored the showing of Alive Inside at the
Downtown DocFest in Belleville. The movie covers how the use of Ipods,
loaded with music important to the person with dementia, can
dramatically improve quality of life. At that showing, several persons
expressed interest in how to bring this tool to Belleville and area. Since
that time, the Society has been successful in receiving a grant towards
the purchase of Ipods. 2015-2016 will see this dream come to
fulfillment.
Both Societies received grants from Alzheimer Society of Ontario for Finding Your Way. This project
required each Society to hold a community meeting involving police services, community support
services and government services. The purpose was to highlight the importance of being prepared
for persons with dementia to go missing. Attendees at both meetings were inspired to keep going—
to make their communities safer, both to prevent someone from going missing and to find them
quickly when they do. This has led to interest in getting Project Lifesaver installed in our
communities—another task for the upcoming year.

The Society’s Education and Support Co-ordinators have been inspired to reach more
families in different ways. Here are some new activities in 2014-2015
Education and Support
TRENDS is an informal group that
meets monthly to discuss seniors’
health, healthy aging, managing
memory and dementia.
Everyone is welcome.
Our goal is to assist seniors and members of their
support network access and navigate the healthcare
system.
We aim to provide information about local supports
and services, and help people access these services as
their needs increase.
TRENDS started in Brighton/Quinte West and is
expanding across Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.
NEW!
T T T T ---- Triage care needs
R R R R ---- Resources in the community
E E E E ---- Education on healthy aging
N N N N ---- Navigation of health care
D D D D ---- Designing integrated care
S S S S ---- Seniors
T.R.E.N.D.S.
Based on information from Memory Café
successes in Europe and aware that local
activities for persons living with dementia are
sorely lacking, staff took steps toward creating
our own Memory Café. The premise is of an
informal gathering—coffee and fresh muffins—where the topic
of dementia can be broached without fear of judgement.
Participants arrive, at their convenience, between 10 and noon
for exchange of news and information regarding the challenges
of living with dementia.

2014-2015 Hope for Tomorrow
Dr. J. B. Orange , a renowned researcher from London, Ontario,
delivered a day-long presentation on June 12, 2014. His research
addresses language and cognitive-communication disorders of
adults and older adults, with special emphasis on discourse,
conversation, and communication of individuals with various
forms of dementia and their family caregivers.
The day was very well received by all who attended.
Pictured here are Education and Support Co-
ordinator Sarah Krieger, thanking Dr.
Orange after his presentation.

Yes, that is a rocking chair...with Education and Support
Coordinators, (l) Kristel Nicholas and Sharon Brewster side by side.
Kristel and Sharon joined the Ontario Health Coalition’s advocacy
event: It’s Time to Care. The event was in relation to the quality of
care in long term care homes.
Other advocacy activities included talks to municipal councils in
December 2014 and January 2015 to bring attention to January as
Alzheimer Awareness Month. The Education and Support
Coordinators recruited
caregivers and those living
with dementia to be part of
those presentations. All
municipal councils
congratulated the Society on
its work and wished great
success for the upcoming
Walks. Lennard Donker shares his story with

So long, Farewell, auf wiedersehen, Goodbye...
Message from the Executive Director
As I sort through files and stacks of paper, deciding on what the new Executive Director will need and what can
be shredded/tossed/recycled, I have been reminded of how quickly time passes. In eleven years with the
Alzheimer Society, we have been in a state of constant change and growth: this is the third location (all in the
Bay View Mall) for the Belleville office, the LHIN replaced Ministry of Health officials and from two education co-
ordinators, we have grown to five.
The Society been blessed with consistency in front-line staffing for which I, and the families we serve, are most
grateful. Our co-ordinators bring different skill sets, but they equally share a passion for serving people. Their
empathy and advocacy have changed and are changing lives for families facing the challenges of dementia. Of
all the activities, issues and events that I have been involved in over the last decade, I am most proud of the
Society’s team: Kristel, Sarah, Darlene, Sharon and Barry. Their innovative ideas have converted into solid
programs: TRENDS, In My Shoes, Rediscover Me, Memory Café, Welcome to My World. There are more in the
wings…Project Lifesaver, Music and Memories (iPod Project), even Laughter Yoga (who knew?). Under Maureen
Corrigan’s leadership, the team will flourish – of that I am very certain.
At our 25th anniversary party in 2012, I had a chance to reflect on pivotal moments in the Society’s growth. I’d
like to repeat one such moment here. In the fall of 2004, a letter arrived from a local lawyer advising us that we
would be receiving a $225,000 bequest. The appearance of this generous donation truly transformed how the
Society worked. With a firm financial backstop, the board could make plans for growth in services. Once more
services were in place (Brighton, Quinte West, Centre Hastings) to support more families, there was a
corresponding increase in fundraising success. Our best fundraisers are families who have participated in our
education and support programs and understand the importance of having the Alzheimer Society on their team.
That one person’s generosity in her will triggered growth that has helped hundreds and hundreds more. My
message? The next time you revise your will, include a gift to the charity of your choice. What you won’t use
anymore will be of great use to many, many others.
The last decade has been an opportunity for personal growth. Having started with no knowledge of dementia, I
had no inkling that my involvement with the Alzheimer Society would provide such a depth of training – from
books, videos, workshops, conferences, staff and families sharing their challenges. I had no inkling that I would
need that training to communicate with my own father who developed a dementia related to his Parkinson’s
disease. I am forever grateful to the Society – especially Kristel and the board, who helped me through some
very tough months. My name is in our client database, along with hundreds of others who needed the Society’s
services.
This good-bye message would not be complete without a vote of thanks to the Society’s volunteers, especially
the board members who, after working their own full time jobs, met month after month, to guide the Society’s
business. With the amalgamation in place, the new combined board is poised to plan strategically for the best
programs and services to help local families. I have every confidence that the next ten years will be even more
productive that the last.
Thanks to everyone for their support and good wishes for retirement. I am looking forward to some golf, more
reading and sunshine by the Bay.

Place & number attending
On the last Tuesday of each month, you’ll find a
restaurant table, or two or three, of folks who
share the common bond of memory loss and an
appetite for lunch!
This informal gathering has proved itself very
popular since its start in October 2008. As a
‘non-support’ support group, it is a starting
place for families to learn from other caregivers
about the importance of being connected to the
Alzheimer Society.
With welcome smiles, those who are hesitant to
join a support group can build connections to
education and information.
During the first week of each month, subscribers to Heads-Up learn of upcoming education sessions,
fundraising events, along with links to interesting information related to dementia. The distribution list is
now over 800 addresses. Interested? Contact the office: 613-962-0892 to have your email address added.
Education and Support Co-ordinator Kristel Nicholas has received Memory Clinic training with two Family
Health Teams: Prince Edward County FHT and the Queen’s FHT in Belleville. Since June 2014, she has been
part of the interview teams for the monthly clinics.
Each FHT has modified the Clinic routine to fit their own venue, schedules and professional skills.
However, in both cases, Kristel is able to update patients’ records with their activities related to the
Alzheimer Society. This information is helpful to the patients’ care team who will now be aware that the
patient is attending support groups...or not.
The Memory Clinics have increased referrals for Society services with virtually everyone who has attended
a Clinic being referred. The statistics on page 16 bear witness to this!
Memory Clinics are being established across the province under the guidance of Dr. Linda Lee from
McMaster University.

43 deserving caregivers enjoyed a day at
Isaiah Tubbs resort. Despite being a very
windy day, everyone enjoyed the time to
discover new activities and rediscover old
ones.
Many thanks to the volunteer facilitators who
provided massages, therapeutic touch, crafts,
woodworking and games.
After a very successful spring retreat in 2014, caregivers were looking
for another break in 2015. 30 men and women arrived at our new
home, CrossRoads To Care, to partake of a variety of activities in a
variety of rooms. The whole venue was full of laughter, supplemented
by good food and company.
Once again, many thanks to the volunteer facilitators who provided special moments of rest and relaxation for
these very deserving participants.

Bancroft’s Walk for Memories
The volunteer committee behind the annual
Walk in Bancroft work are an amazing group
who keep recruiting community support,
with amazing results. This year featured a
‘Garden of Memories’ where participants
could place a tribute in honour of a loved
one.
Many thanks to the Bancroft & District Real
Estate Board for their commitment to the
annual Walk.
Small items can bring big dollars. Volunteers in Bancroft prepared
forget-me-not beads for sale. In addition, the Alzheimer Society
encouraged folks to ‘Show Us Your Beads’ by posting pictures on
Facebook of where they were wearing their beads.
The project raised (so far) almost $4,000 for the Society.
Thanks to all those who have worked so hard on this project!

Special Events Highlights
Peter Smith GM Ltd and the Kiwanis Club of Belleville
joined forces to sponsor a hole-in-one prize at the 2014
Golf Event at Barcovan Golf Club on June 20, 2014.
Unfortunately, no one scored a hole-in-one, but it was a
wonderful day for 81 golfers who all enjoyed a delicious
dinner to end the day.
The 2015 Walk for Memories broke all records in all
locations. The Picton Walk raised over twice the results from
last year. Belleville’s Walk celebrated its 20th year with a
Breakfast to Remember for participants. Trenton, in its
second year, surpassed last year’s results and Bancroft
proved that great things come in small packages, for the fifth
year in a row!

Special Events Highlights
Book sorting volunteers Elaine Webb (l) and Liz
Cotter were wondering where they were going
to put all the books prior to the November 2014
sale.
The June, November and February book sales ,
along with the sales from the reception area,
once again raised about $13,000 for the Society.
Every day, someone arrives with a donation of
books—somedays it’s a bag or two, somedays
it’s a carload!
Thanks to our many, many book sale volunteers
who dedicate many hours to these events.
September 18, 2014 saw the delivery and sale of 2100 dozen Krispy Kreme
donuts—1700 in Hastings County & Brighton, 400 in Prince Edward County.
Despite miserable weather in the morning, volunteers stayed at their selling stations with great results by
the end of the day.
Coffee Break host parties were up from the previous year with 26 events happening in people’s homes or
places of work. Glady Eatock hosted her annual Coffee Break Bridge Party, earning top Coffee Break
hostess recognition once again.
In Prince Edward County, the Alzheimer Society and Hospice Prince Edward collaborated on the coffee
theme with combined promotion for Krispy Kreme sales and Hospice’s Coffee Party. The result—
successful fundraising for both organizations.

A special thank you to Hurley Law LLP who contributed both time and
money to the Alzheimer Society. In November, they donated proceeds
from the preparation of wills and powers of attorney to the Society. In
March, they sponsored a reception prior to the showing of Still Alice at
the Empire Theatre. The reception provided a venue for the Society to
thanks all its supporters and for clients, volunteers and staff to
reconnect, especially those who had not been involved recently with
the Society. To top it off, Patrick Hurley sits on the Society’s board,
bringing his professional skills and insight to decision-making.
As Education and Support Co-ordinator Sharon Brewster was talking with OPP
staff in Trenton about matters relating to dementia, she received welcome
news—that the Society could make use of the OPP Community Room in
Trenton at no charge. Sharon works out of a home office and sometimes finds
it difficult to meet with families, especially if a home visit is not an option. The
Community Room solves this issue for Sharon and we thank the Quinte West
OPP very much.
