Les personnes aînées se retrouvent parmi les groupes les plus susceptibles d’être diagnostiqués d’une maladie cognitive, telle qu’une démence.

Dans la région d’Ottawa, il existe une variété de ressources pour soutenir les personnes atteintes d’une démence ainsi que leurs proches. Or, la littérature disponible indique que les personnes francophones vivant...
