Since, 1988, Hospice Dufferin has been providing compassion, care, and support to those in our community who are experiencing the challenges of a life-limiting illness, who are bereaved, or who are caregivers to those they love. Our vision is to provide peace, comfort, and dignity for all people in our community. Here is a snapshot of our impact on the community. In 2021, we supported 55% of our clients dying at home as per their wishes, an increase from 38% dying at home in 2020. In 2021, we served 297 clients and completed 3976 sessions of service. In addition, we were able to provide caregivers with 50 caregiver support bags.
The Alzheimer Society of Dufferin County was established in 1999 to provide information and supports to residents of the community. There were over 100 new referrals that came in and the team provided over 5165 units of service in 2021-2022. Over the year 2021-2022, there were over 35 personalized Montessori kits put together and hand-delivered to clients. We exist to alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer's Disease and other dementia and to promote research.
