By 2030, one million Canadians will suffer from dementia. By 2050, that number is expected to triple. Here’s another scary stat: In 2020, care partners (including family members, friends and neighbours) spent 26 hours per week assisting older Canadians living with dementia — the equivalent to 235,000 full-time jobs, or $7.3 billion annually. Bottom line: this disease is taking a devastating toll on Canadians and the people who love them. On this week’s episode of Inside the Village, Frisco and Scott talk to two experts about a lesser-known aspect of dementia research: five potential behaviour changes that could be an early warning sign in people over 50. You’ll want to know what they are. Also on the podcast: This is Burlington!
