If
your loved ones are in a rehab facility for their disease it is important
that you raise awareness to ensure continued protection! Thereby, you are able
to bring change in the society.
The
significance of World Alzheimer’s Day should not be underestimated especially
if your loved ones are staying in a family care home for such treatment or a Rehab Facility.
No matter where seniors reside in assisted living facilities, they will be
educated on the events taking place with World Alzheimer’s Day. It is a day
which unites people suffering from dementia, their families, their caretakers,
opinion leaders, researchers, medical professionals and the media all over the
world in an attempt to globally coordinate awareness. This coordinated message
speaks to governments and policy markers around the world, reminding them of
the serious health issue that is dementia, and urging them to better understand
the severe implications dementia has on health systems and services in every
country. This effect on health systems continues to grow with the increasing
populations.
Success of World Alzheimer’s Day is measured by the number of
countries which participate in at least one of the many events. It is also
measured by the number of daily visitors to Alzheimer sites from individuals who want more information. A
third manner in which success of World Alzheimer’s Day is measured is
through media impressions and inquiries received, as well as the increase in
individuals who join Alzheimer associations.
World Alzheimer’s
Day was founded by ADI and ADI is responsible for it each year. They are
responsible for seeking financial support and for distributing materials around
the world, which then enables members to organize country-specific events. On
World Alzheimer’s Day, ADI encouraged other organizations to become members and
to organize events in their area. After the event, they release a report on the
events which took place and the success. If you want to participate, you can
organize local events by contacting the Alzheimer association
in your country and determining what help you can offer. You can also make
financial donations to ADI to help fund repeat events.
The
increased number of people results in the better outcome of the event. It is
not a perquisite to have dementia or to be caring for someone with dementia to
participate in events or host events in honor of World Alzheimer’s Day. With
more people participating, awareness is raised about dementia, which is the
overall purpose of the annual event.
This
day is especially significant for those who have families affected by dementia
because it provides them with an opportunity to join with other families who
understand the consequences and sufferings associated with the disease. By
offering understanding and compassion, as well as a growing initiative to take
measures fighting against the disease and promoting research and support,
Alzheimer associations can see tangible success
result from World Alzheimer’s Day.
