Société Alzheimer de Lanaudière

What Société Alzheimer de Lanaudière does

Société Alzheimer de Lanaudière (SADL) is a registered Canadian non-profit charitable organization (charity number 89067 1571 RR-0001) headquartered in Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, Quebec, with a secondary office in Joliette. Founded in 2000 per company history records (note: firmographics state 1989; the 2000 founding of the first Marche pour l'Alzheimer event is corroborated across multiple sources), SADL provides Alzheimer's and neurocognitive disorder support services exclusively to residents of the Lanaudière region, covering all MRCs of the territory. The organization is led by Executive Director Catherine Pelletier.

SADL operates a service portfolio built around three pillars: (1) direct services to people with cognitive impairments — including the Répit Accompagnement Stimulation à domicile (RAS) program delivering 3 hours weekly of home-based cognitive stimulation, L'Instant Présent weekly support groups for early-stage individuals, and individual/family psychosocial meetings; (2) caregiver support — including monthly caregiver exchange groups across every MRC, the 21-hour 'Accompagner sans toutefois s'oublier' training program over 7 weeks, and a telephone assistance line; and (3) workforce training — including the 'Mieux outiller pour mieux accompagner' professional training for residential facility (RPA, RI, RTF) staff in 7-hour and 16-hour formats. A Matériauthèque resource library lends cognitive stimulation games, books, and films. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-facilitated and in-person or by telephone.

The revenue model relies on individual donations (online via Simplyk, by phone, by mail), $25 annual membership fees, proceeds from two anchor fundraising events (the annual Marche pour l'Alzheimer walk held the last Sunday of May, and the Souper spectacle gala dinner in October at Club de golf Montcalm), direct financial support from the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec (which funds the free residential training program), support from Appui pour les proches aidants for caregiver training, and modest sales of neurostimulator games. SADL is affiliated with the Fédération québécoise des Sociétés Alzheimer and the Société Alzheimer du Canada, providing it access to national and provincial research programs and educational resources. The organization operates with 8 core staff supplemented by 15–20 accompaniment workers across the Lanaudière territory, serving a regional target population where approximately 7% of residents aged 65 and older are affected by Alzheimer's (over 6,000 people).

Broad incumbents

• Fédération québécoise des Sociétés Alzheimer: Provincial umbrella federation of Quebec's regional Alzheimer Societies. Direct strategic partner and coordination body for SADL, providing shared programs, conferences, and resources that SADL delivers locally.
• Alzheimer Society of Canada: National federation that manages the Alzheimer Society Research Program and nationwide fundraising. SADL is an affiliated regional society participating in and promoting national research and awareness initiatives.

Emerging players

• Appui pour les proches aidants: Quebec-wide caregiver support organization that directly funds SADL's 21-hour caregiver training program. Operates an overlapping but broader caregiver mandate across Quebec, including a 24/7 helpline.

Others
