"By giving the seeds away now, people will relate back to the concerns of those living with Alzheimer Alzheimer disease when they bloom." Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, progressive, degenerative brain condition characterized in its most early stages by declining memory, judgement and learning ability. As the disease progresses, progresses, patients experience more profound profound memory loss, personality changes, and will have trouble with speech and language. The condition invariably requires intensive nursing care. Their tendency to wander means that ordinary retirement retirement homes can't always handle the patients, said Owen. ■ "One of tire main concerns of the Society is what's going to happen to the victims in the years to come as there aren't enough facilities." By the end of this century, 3.4 million million Canadians will be senior citizens. Up to 1 million of those people will be affected by Alzheimer's disease. "It is important to'ereate awareness through public displays such as this," said Owen. "We need to increase awareness so that more research can be done and so that people attempting to provide care for afflicted relatives will come forward." Ms Owen stresses that "Alzheimer's "Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging." She urges anyone suspecting a loved one to be a victim to contact the local Society.
