Korean Canadian Alzheimer's Society

The Korean Canadian Alzheimer's Society provides support and resources for Korean-speaking seniors living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, along with their families and caregivers. Based in North York, the organization recognizes the unique cultural and linguistic needs of Korean Canadians navigating dementia care. It offers educational programs, support groups conducted in Korean, and advocacy services that help bridge gaps in mainstream healthcare and social services. The society also works to increase awareness of dementia within Korean Canadian communities, where stigma and cultural factors often prevent people from seeking help early. By centering Korean language, values, and cultural practices, the organization ensures that affected individuals and their families receive information and care that respects their background and experiences.
