www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, February 18, 2016 | 12 Dementia effects can put strain on financial resources Dollars & O Sense ne of the most signi cant challenges of growing old is declining mental ability. There is a 50 per cent chance you will have some form of dementia by the time you reach age 85. Dementia is a game changer. It affects where and how you live, your close personal and family relationships, and will put a strain on your nancial resources. Most Canadians will be affected by some form of dementia. Either directly, with a spouse, or other family member. Recently, I had the most fortunate opportunity to listen to a presentation by Danielle Guest Contributor Peter Watson Arbour, public education co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society of Hamilton and Halton. She was both informative and entertain- ing. We suggest if you are involved with a group, you request Danielle to be a guest speaker. The Alzheimer Society of Hamilton and Halton have resources available to assist family members and caregivers. They can be reached online at www.alzhn.ca/alzheimerhamilton-halton or by phone at 289-8372310. This column will convey some of the information Danielle provided, plus we will add some nancial considerations. The de nition of dementia is a set of symptoms that cause a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. As of 2011, there were close to 750,000 Canadians living with dementia. It is anticipated that number will grow to 1.4 million by the year 2031. In Halton, there are now 8,300 dementia cases with people aged 65 and older. Half of those with dementia continue to live in the community. There are many different causes of dementia, but Alzheimer's disease is the most common, and it is irreversible. see Plan on p.13 THE FASTEST GROWING AUTOMOTIVE BRAND IN CANADA 0 $ THAT'S LIKE PAYING ONLY WEEKLY LEASE PAYMENTS INCLUDE FREIGHT AND PDE Based on full-line brands, on 12 month, year over year rolling unit sales Lease rates as low as * % AND NO-CHARGE FOR 36 MONTHS ON SELECT 2016 MODELS APR FOR 24 MONTHS ON SELECT MODELS MAINTENANCE + get up to $ , 1 500 AUTOSHOW BONUS ON SELECT MODELS** When Equipped with Forward Emergency Braking + ONLY UNTIL FEBRUARY 22ND $280 WITH $750 DOWN OR STEP UP TO THE SV SPECIAL EDITION FOR 2016 NISSAN ROGUE® MONTHLY LEASE FROM 65 ON ROGUE S FWD AT 1.49 APR FOR 60 MONTHS % $ Featuring: · Aluminum-Alloy Wheels · Heated Front Seats & more 8 MORE PER WEEK PLUS NO-CHARGE MAINTENANCE $ AUTOSHOW BONUS** 500 PLUS get SL AWD Premium model shown 2015 NISSAN SENTRA® $ 1.8 SL model shown GET UP TO 5,500 IN FINANCE CASH ON SENTRA SL AND SR $ AUTOSHOW BONUS** 500 PLUS get J.D.
