Honouring Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the Comox Valley

January was Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting individuals and families living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

No one wakes up in the morning thinking, “I need companion care transport today.”
What people wake up with are real moments, real worries, and real needs that can feel heavy and urgent.

They wake up thinking,
“My mom can’t drive anymore.”
“I can’t lift this on my own.”
“I’m overwhelmed and I don’t know where to turn.”

These are not service requests, they are life moments. And they deserve to be met with understanding, dignity, and practical support.
