The Alzheimer Society Peel was incorporated in 1983 as a charitable non-profit organization to alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias; to help find the cause, prevention and cure. Since that time, our Chapter has diligently worked to support families and individuals affected by the disease. The Society serves the Region of Peel through our offices in Brampton and Mississauga. Our Chapter promotes public and professional awareness of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and offers a variety of programs and services. All services and programs operate either free of charge or for a nominal fee. We offer Day Programs, counselling, support and bereavement groups, public education, the First Link Program, volunteer opportunities and access to a 24 hour respite care home. Alzheimer Society Peel works with all service providers to ensure that optimum health and social services are provided for the family and persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in the Region of Peel. Alzheimer Society Peel’s presence in the community and beyond since its inception has had a tremendous impact on individuals whose lives are affected by the disease. In our last Fiscal Year the chapter served over 42, 000 individuals. Alzheimer Society Peel is the largest chapter in Canada and the first to become accredited for its services and programs by CARF International.
