Behind every diagnosis is a family learning how to love, remember, and show up in new ways.
Alzheimerโ€™s doesnโ€™t just affect memory โ€” it changes lives.

But awareness leads to understanding.
Understanding leads to compassion.
And compassion creates better care, stronger communities, and hope.

This month, letโ€™s:
โœ” Talk about it
โœ” Support caregivers
โœ” Share knowledge
โœ” Choose empathy

Because even when memories fade, love never does. ๐Ÿ’œ

Community In-Home Care & Caregiver Support Services

Helping Hands was established in 1972 and has had a proud history of serving clients in our community by assisting them to live independently, support them in their journey of aging, and to maintain and enhance their quality of life. As a multi-service, registered charitable organization, Helping Hands serves older adults and adults with physical disabilities residing in Orillia and surrounding townships of Severn, Oro-Medonte and Ramara, as well as Barrie and Muskoka. Our services have evolved over the years to meet the needs of our clients and to support our health care system. However, providing in-home care and caregiver support remains at the heart of Helping Hands.
