Change is needed!!! My mom has raid & drastic changes from dementia - every day I lose with her is a day closer to her never remembering who we are ever again.

To their past and the ability to express love and connection, which remains. They feel more than ever.

Depriving these dementia patients the family visits is like letting them die a slow death. They are losing their only meaningful connection to their past.

These people are coming to the end of their lives and what they hold dear is being taken away from them, their families!

I am so so sorry Suzanne, It is very unfair indeed, my mother is in similar stage as your husband and I feel like our power have been taken away from us. This is why I am doing this. Care aides cannot give them what we do, that is key here in my advocacy. Please share this petition and lets hope I can get my goal for all of us!

May 26, 2020deleteI am trying to connect with the Ministry of health, I have already sent out an email days ago, to which I have had no response. I have contacted as well the Minister of Seniors in Quebec, who have already passed a bill called "Humanitarian Gesture' that allows seniors in LTCH to go outside and have family visit them. But, nothing yet...

It is indeed and us families are suffering for them , because we know that care aides are great, but they do the basic. The rest of the day they are alone

Because it is outrageous that any person would have to spend their last days of their life in loneliness

Can there be something done to help the family visit?

My husband is in late stage dementia. He is confined to wheelchair, can’t see, or talk or speak but mind is still functioning. He needs companionship! He needs love. PSW’s don’t have enough time to talk or wheel him around. Please! I’ll take all tests!

this is borderline cruelty to deny family visitors for dementia patients. Family truly is essential care for these people.

Great, I hope we can get this message there too. This is for all us here in Canada.
