In 2020, the province estimated it would cost $103/dy to provide care for a long-term care equivalent
client at home with home and community care. This contrasts with $201/dy for comparable service in LTC and $730/dy to support an ALC patient in hospital #HomeandCommunityCare

Myth: Only older people can get #dementia.
Fact: Although dementia is more common as people grow older and age is the biggest risk factor, people in their 50s and 40s (and even 30s and 20s) can also develop dementia, called young-onset dementia.

Is Dementia hereditary?
According to the @alzheimerssoc, "The majority of dementia is not inherited by children and grandchildren. In rarer types of dementia there may be a strong genetic link, but these are only a tiny proportion of overall cases of dementia."
