Delivered in partnership with the Sinai Health System Reitman Centre, the Enhancing Care (EC) Program offers therapeutic skills training to family or other unpaid care partners who are giving care to individuals living with dementia.

CarePartner – First Mobile Application Supporting Caregivers

The Dementia Talk App is an award- winning mobile application that was designed to empower caregivers of people with dementia to manage care at home through tracking behaviours and creating care plans to address challenging situations they encounter. The app was created by the Reitman Centre at Mount Sinai Hospital and transferred to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto.
