Dementia resource consultant embedded in the ED enhances care

When older adults living with dementia arrive in the Emergency Department (ED), it’s not always because of a medical emergency. Often, it’s exhaustion, stress or caregivers who simply don’t know where else to turn. That’s where the DREAM program — Dementia, Resources, Education, Advocacy and Mentorship — comes in. Launched in 2024 through a partnership between Niagara Health and the Alzheimer Society of Niagara Region, DREAM places dementia resource consultants directly in EDs to support patients and families in real time. In just a few months, the program has helped more than 300 individuals and prevented over 100 unnecessary hospital admissions by connecting families with the right community supports.
