Caregivers:guring

There are about 15 million people caring for and supporting the thousands of Canadians who have Alzheimer’s. As a caregiver, you may feel reluctant to take the long-term view on such matters, but the sooner you undertake some legal planning, the more the person with dementia can participate in important decisions.

There are two main areas where legal planning comes into play. They both require some kind of assessment of legal capacity in order to determine whether the person with Alzheimer’s understands the consequences of their actions in making legal decisions. A visit to a lawyer can clarify all the legal needs that should be taken care of.

The agent, or designate, is able to make decisions about the assets and income of the person with Alzheimer’s. A successor, or backup, and even a third successor agent should be chosen as well, in case the designate is unable to perform their duties. As long as the person with dementia is deemed to have legal capacity, the agent may not override any of his or her decisions, even if they seem contentious.

This is an important step in advance planning. When the person with Alzheimer’s can no longer reasonably make decisions about treatment, care facilities, and healthcare professionals, the agent may do so instead. Making a living will is essential as well; this document allows the person with dementia to decide in advance which kinds of interventions they don’t want to undergo and specify other end-of-life decisions.

got to take home a $33,900 donation, which was much more than they had ever anticipated.

“We didn’t know that we were going to win. It was shocking and it was amazing for us at Abbeyfield, but it’s going to benefit us in many, many ways,” said manager Kimmy Fenton.

Abbeyfield House has a laundry list of projects to accomplish including updating bathrooms and replacing bathtubs, servicing the HVAC system, and applying a fresh coat of paint.

“There’s a whole list of things that that need to be done that are just basically upgrading from when we first opened, so that $30,000 is going to go a long way,” added board director Rita Schonewille.

“It never ceases to amaze me how generous Fort St. John is; you put out a call for something, then the whole community seems to step up straightaway.”

Schonewille said it was a nervewracking evening that ended in cheering and hollering.

“There was over 200 women in that room. Hats off to the ladies that did this. It was a really great event,” said Schonewille. “And I think we also need to thank our presenter, Nelson Stowe. He did the presentation for Abbeyfield and he was the only man in the room with over 200 women - so pretty brave.”

The next 100 Women Who Care event will take place on Sept. 26, 2023.

“We guarantee or we commit to running a very tight ship,” said Carlson, who noted that the whole event takes place in just one hour. “The women can come in, donate their money, and get a really good feeling and help the community, and then we are done by 8 p.m.”

The North Peace Ride for the Disabled, the Fort St. John Fire Fighters Charitable Society, New Day in the Peace Ministries, and North Peace Seniors Housing Society have also all benefited from the group since its founding.
