1 in 4 Canadians aged 15 and older provide care to a family member or friend. This week's film features Alicia's grandson, Tyler, who takes us through a day with Alicia and the blessings that have come alongside the difficulties of living with Alzheimer's disease. We have been able to really manage with a lot of help from the Alzheimer Society. They have programs regularly which really increase her amount of social interaction and keep her stimulated, says Tyler.... The message from Alicia’s family members is loud and clearthis is not something that can be tackled alone. Please watch part 2 of our series, W is for Whale, here: https://bit.ly/watch-WIsForWhale
