This project is aimed at evaluating the First Link® programs and services offered by the Alzheimer Society of B.C.. From the perspectives of people living with dementia, care partners, and health care providers, our goal is to identify the strengths and areas for improvement of these programs to better the quality of life of those affected by dementia.
Why is this research important?
The results from this evaluation will inform the services offered and will help ensure that the Society is providing the best support and education possible to the dementia community in British Columbia and beyond.
