Editorial standards and corrections
How our guides are prepared, sourced and corrected.
Our audience and approach
We write for people affected by dementia and the family members, friends and helpers supporting them. Each guide should answer a specific practical question. We prefer clear explanations, useful questions and transparent limitations over promises about outcomes.
Sources and authorship
This edition was prepared using AI-assisted writing and checks against the sources identified on each page. Practical worksheets and comparison questions are original planning aids. Medical background is referenced to recognised health organisations and public services. We do not claim independent clinical review, first-hand product testing or professional credentials that have not been established.
Links are provided so readers can check the educational background and find more detailed information. A source link does not imply that its publisher reviewed, endorsed or contributed to this website.
Dates and changing information
An update date identifies the edition of an article; it is not a promise that every external service remains unchanged. Drug access, programme eligibility, prices, legal rules and provider terms require current confirmation with the responsible organisation or professional. We avoid universal price estimates and personalised treatment recommendations.
Corrections
Send the page URL, the statement you believe needs correcting and a reliable supporting source to info@alzheimersfoundation.ca. Do not include a patient’s medical record. We assess the reported issue and update the page where appropriate. Significant changes should be described in the page’s update note; minor spelling or formatting fixes do not imply a new medical review.
Advertising and independence
Advertising, when enabled, is labelled and separate from article text. An advertisement is not an editorial recommendation. We do not rank care providers based on payments and do not claim to have tested a product when we have not.
Photographs and examples
Photographs illustrate topics; they are not patient case histories, testimonials or staff portraits unless explicitly identified otherwise. Planning examples are illustrative, not accounts of an identifiable person. We do not infer a person’s diagnosis from a photograph.
