Statistics show these challenges will increase sigâ€" nificantly in coming years as the percentage of Canaâ€" dian seniors increases to In Ontario alone, more than 100,000 people live with the disease, 90 per cent of whom are older than 65 As a result, the web projâ€" ect was born and is a timely initiative. Alzheimer‘s Disease is the most common demenâ€" tia affecting elderly people in Canada. Canadians are world leaders in both biomedical and psychosocial research related to Alzheimer‘s. While a great deal of research is accumulating on ways to improve the quality of life and caregivâ€" ing for people with demenâ€" tia, much of this work occurs in diverse, unconâ€" nected pockets of activity across the country. The research exchange links MAREP and Homeâ€" wood with collaborating organizations including the Alzheimer Society of Canaâ€" da and its provincial offices, a network of long term care innovation cenâ€" tres and partners involved in the development and implementation of Ontario‘s Strategy for Alzheimer‘s Disease and Related Dementias. In addition, the site establishes a resource netâ€" work for researchers that will promote and increase exchange and collaboraâ€" tion. It will also profile the work of Canadian researchers. It‘s designed for a wide range of users including researchers, practitioners, policy makers, informal caregivers, formal care providers, persons with dementia, students and the public. "This innovative project links research and practice as it is an onâ€"line resource that functions as a clearingâ€" house of upâ€"toâ€"date research and information," said Michael Sharratt, chair of the MAREP management committee and dean of applied health sciences. MAREP project leaders are identifying current research findings, developâ€" ing practical applications for research results and disâ€" seminating groundbreakâ€" ing information through the site.
