Alzheimer Society Of Ottawa Carleton

Background Established in 1980 and incorporated in 1982, the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County is a non-profit and charitable organization. It currently has 11 Volunteer Board of Directors, over 300 volunteers, as well as 25 staff members (full & part time). We are a dynamic local Alzheimer Society dedicated to serving the diverse needs of people living with dementia in Ottawa and Renfrew County. Our dedicated staff and passionate volunteers are driven by a clear mission, vision and values. We are very grateful for the base funding we receive from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. We certainly could not do what we do without it. However, we still must raise about 60% of our budget from donations and fundraising endeavours. Client Satisfaction Almost 200 clients of the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County responded to a satisfaction survey about local Society programs and services offered during 2012 - 2013. Ninety-three percent of the respondents agreed that our services are accessible and informative.
