The Rising Tide of Dementia 2010 - 2011 Annual Report Help for today Hope for tomorrow... President and CEO message The baby boomers are aging. Today, over half a million Canadians have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. In just one generation – by the time our children or grandchildren become adults - there will be over one million Canadians with dementia. The numbers are scary. This is not about our parent’s generation – this is about ours. We need to act now. We can’t just sit back and wait. Hope lies in making changes today that will lessen dementia’s crippling effect on our families, health care system and economy. So what can we do to help stem this rising tide? FIRST – Each of us needs to learn about prevention and caring for our brain health… the benefits of physical activity, changes we can make in our diet and other parts of our lives, to reduce our risk of developing dementia. And we need to learn about the importance of early diagnosis. NEXT – We need to significantly increase the amount of money spent on research, to learn more about prevention, and discover a treatment that will delay the onset of dementia and reduce its impact substantially. THEN – Each of us needs to ensure the people who we elect to represent us locally, provincially and nationally are committed to a Dementia Strategy that can be adopted by all levels of government to affect changes in health care. LAST – but certainly not least, we need to support family caregivers who are struggling with the overwhelming emotional and financial hardships of providing care. to corporate budgets. In 30 years, if nothing changes, this number will increase to over 30 million hours. But change is possible, and within our reach. The work we do today is an investment in helping our children and grandchildren cope with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Our 2010-11 Annual Report will give you more details of the work that the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan does every day. We hope that you will continue to support our cause and our organization. Diane Lemon, President Joanne Bracken, CEO A study released earlier this year tells us that in Saskatchewan alone, family caregivers provide nine million hours of care each year. Think about what nine million hours of staff time means 2010 - 2011 Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan Board (left to right): Richard Jankowski, Lynn Wrishko (Secretary), Sandra Weekley (President), Diane Lemon (Vice-President), Lee Durdin, Janice Hurd, Dr. Jenny Basran, James Baldwin. Missing: Tim Huber, Cathy Hinther, Patti Kelm (National Representative), Dr. David Malloy. Following Sandy Weekley’s resignation, Dr. Ken Rasmussen joined the Board, Diane Lemon became President and Cathy Hinther served as Vice-President. 1 Honouring our Volunteers The Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan was established by a small committed group of volunteers, and volunteers still play a key role in the organization’s ability to provide help and hope to people affected by Alzheimer’s disease. We thank: ● Volunteer Support and Information Group Facilitators who provide community-based support to family caregivers ● Board and Committee members who provide leadership and direction ● Volunteer Educators who deliver a variety of presentations throughout the province ● Fundraising event volunteers who plan and carry out fundraising events ● Walkers, Door-to-Door Canvassers and Coffee Break® Hosts who raise funds to support the Society ● Office volunteers who help stuff envelopes, organize mailings and send out information packages In 2010 - 2011, the Society honoured the exceptional volunteers pictured on this page.

We accomplish this in many ways, including: ● Support and Information Groups for Caregivers ● Support Groups for People with Early Memory Loss ● Information, referral and support on an individual basis through our offices in Regina and Saskatoon, and our toll free number ● Education programs ● Community presentations ● Printed material on a wide variety of issues and concerns ● The Society’s website – www.alzheimer.sk.ca Link® Coordinators travelled to these communities on a regular basis to meet with community partners, pharmacists, volunteers and physicians to promote the benefits of referring the the Alzheimer Society using First Link® and to share information about the Society’s programs and services. Prince Albert in October 2010. Two hundred people attended the two forums. The Society thanks presenting sponsor Fries Tallman Lumber, as well as the Government of Saskatchewan Community Initiatives Fund and media sponsors Yorkton This Week, GX94 radio in Yorkton, and the Prince Albert Daily Herald. An evaluation of the initial two years of the First Link® program found that clients who were connected to the Alzheimer Society via First Link® were referred, on average, 11 months earlier than those who self-referred. First Link® was also found to have a positive impact on increasing understanding and awareness of the Society and other community resources among health professionals, including physicians. The success of the forums led the Society to develop a Heads Up for Healthier Brains presentation that our Public Education Coordinators deliver throughout the province. These presentations are also supported by Fries Tallman Lumber and the Community Initiatives Fund. First Link® Public Forums First Link® is an innovative health care initiative that improves the quality of life for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their families by identifying and reaching out to them as early as possible in the disease process to provide comprehensive and coordinated services. First Link® enables physicians, specialists and other health care and community service providers to directly refer individuals and their families to the Alzheimer Society for services that meet their immediate and ongoing needs. Following the success of the Heads Up for Healthier Brains forums held in Regina and Saskatoon in 2009, the Society brought brain fitness consultant Guy Pilch back to Saskatchewan to deliver healthy brain messages at forums in Yorkton and With funding received through the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health, the Society targeted the cities and surrounding communities of Swift Current (Cypress Health Region), Estevan (Sun Country Health Region), and North Battleford (Prairie North Health Region) to strengthen and expand the First Link® program. First “This program is such a refreshing positive message for the Alzheimer Society to deliver.” Quote from the Heads Up for Healthier Brains evaluation form, October 2010 Brain Fitness Consultant Guy Pilch at the Yorkton Forum. 3 Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease An Alzheimer Society of Canada federation survey conducted in July 2010 revealed that 23 percent of baby boomers couldn’t name even one warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease. With the first boomers turning 65 this year, it is critical that this cohort learn the warning signs and what they can do to reduce their risk of developing dementia. Over half of Canadians know someone who is living with Alzheimer’s disease The Society is working hard to change that knowledge gap through Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease presentations that identify risk factors and warning signs, and stress the importance of early diagnosis. In 2010 - 2011, we delivered Alzheimer’s disease and healthy brain messages to 2383 people at 95 presentations. Kaleidoscope of Care Annual Provincial Conference: Understanding Diversity in Dementia Care The Society’s annual conference for professional caregivers was held on September 28 and 29 in Regina. Keynote speakers were Dr. J.B. Orange, whose presentation was entitled “Enhancing Personhood via Communication Strategies for Individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and Their Caregivers,” and Dr. Jean Boodhoo who spoke on “The Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.” We thank Gold Sponsor Pfizer, and Bronze Sponsors Bayshore Home Health and Philips Lifeline. Learning Series Fifteen Learning Series sessions were provided to a total of 365 people during the year. The Society continued to receive support from Telehealth with Next Steps for Families being delivered at 20 sites throughout the province and Care Essentials at 21 sites. Care Essentials was taught be a team that included Dr. Jenny Basran and Social Worker Irma Robson from Geriatric Evaluation and Management Services and Continuing Care Consultant Tracy Danylyshen-Laycock from the Saskatoon Health Region, as well as Susan Wood, the Director of Care at the William Booth Special Care Home. 25 percent of families are affected by dementia The Society thanks our Learning Series sponsors: SaskTel TelCare, SGI, James P. Mahoney Institute of the Family and the Saskatoon Community Foundation. Yet fewer than one in four baby boomers can name a single warning sign Alzheimer Society of Canada July 2010 survey 4 Alzheimer’s Disease Ten Warning Signs 1. Memory loss that affects day-to-day function 2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks 3. Problems with language 4. Disorientation of time and place 5. Poor or decreased judgment 6. Problems with abstract thinking 7. Misplacing things 8. Changes in mood and behaviour 9. Changes in personality 10. Loss of initiative Research Research to find the causes and a cure for Alzheimer disease continues to be a high priority for the Society. In 2010 2011, we contributed $209,177 to support several initiatives. Saskatchewan Research Chair in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia University of Saskatchewan researcher Dr. Darrell Mousseau was awarded the Saskatchewan Research Chair worth $1 million over the next five years to study a link between Alzheimer’s disease and depression. The Chair is a partnership among the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, and the University of Saskatchewan. The two funding partners each provide $100,000 per year for five years, while the University of Saskatchewan provides the necessary infrastructure and support for the Chair. Alzheimer Society Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Research Awards University of Regina clinical psychology doctoral student Sarah Chan received an Alzheimer Society of Canada research award in the “Quality of Life” stream. Her project focuses on pain assessment in older adults with dementia living in long-term care and will revise and validate the Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Limited Ability to Communicate (PACSLAC). PACSLAC has been found to be one of the most valid and reliable tools of its kind. When used regularly by long-term care nurses, pain management for older adults with dementia increases, pain behaviours decrease, and nurse distress and burnout is reduced. University of Saskatchewan doctoral candidate Jocelyn Poock has Dr. Mousseau is a professor in the College of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry at the University of Saskatchewan, and the former vicepresident of the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan board. He and his team have found that an enzyme that plays an important role in depression can severely weaken brain cells and perhaps trigger the neurodegenerative processes that lead to Alzheimer’s disease. The team is also looking at the role of anti-depressants in this process. Over the next five years, Dr. Mousseau and his team hope to come closer to discovering earlier diagnostic measures and prevent Alzheimer’s disease in a significant portion of the population. Dr. Darrell Mousseau at the Canadian Light Source Inc. synchrotron. Photo credit: SHRF accepted an Alzheimer Society Research Program Doctoral Award worth just over $20,000. Jocelyn’s research will examine the effect of the dual task of “walking while talking” on the gait of people with Alzheimer’s disease and compare it with the gait of healthy older adults to determine the role of higher brain functions in clinical gait assessments. Sébastien Hébert, who studies at the Université Laval in Quebec City is the recipient of a $180,000 Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan Young Investigator grant. His project is entitled “The Importance of microRNA target site polymorphisms in Alzheimer’s disease.” Another Université Laval researcher, Carl Julien, is the recipient of a $90,000 Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan Post-Doctoral Fellowship Award to study the “Effect of type 2 diabetes on the in 5 vivo pathogenesis of tau.” The Alzheimer Society Research Program is a collaborative initiative of the Alzheimer Society federation to help launch the careers of outstanding young researchers and fund the work of established researchers. Spotlight on Research In September, the Society’s Spotlight on Research evening in Regina attracted more than 150 people. Attendees were able to view two dozen research posters, mingle and chat with reseachers and take in two informative presentations by Dr. Darrell Mousseau and Dr. Thomas Hadjistavropoulos, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Centre on Aging and Health at the University of Regina. We thank the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research for supporting this event. Special Events / Sponsors Throughout the year, funds raised at special events support Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan programs and services for people living with dementia, their families and caregivers, as well as research into causes, treatments and a cure. Special events also raise awareness about the disease and brain health. The Society thanks our sponsors, volunteers, event participants and donors.

Participation in the program demonstrates transparency, accountability and donor trust. 12 Financial Highlights 2010 - 2011 Once again, the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan raised over $1 million in revenue in 2010 - 2011. However, we incurred a deficit this year due to an increase in program and services delivery, a substantial increase in research investment, and the costs involved in developing a new major gifts campaign. Increased revenue from fundraising projects and sponsorships were offset by a slight decrease in donations and a significant drop in bequest revenue. 13 We are confident that the major gifts campaign developed during the year and set to launch publicly in 2011 2012 will ensure we reach our goal of raising an additional $2.5 million in the next five years, above and beyond our current fundraising requirements.
