    • Mission

    YouQuest improves quality of life for people with young-onset dementia and their care partners. YouQuest is a registered charity addressing a void for this underserved community in Canada. Dementia doesn’t just affect the elderly. It also impacts thousands of people in their 40s, 50s and 60s. Tough to diagnose, incurable and on a sharp increase, families are left vulnerable, isolated and disrupted by the gap in services and resources. Canadians with young-onset dementia and their families need access to relevant day-to-day services. Existing services are designed for seniors and do not meet the unique needs of people with young onset dementia.

    About Us

    With service days weekly, participants enjoy a full, active day in the community with their peers. Recreation therapists and volunteers co-plan days with participants based on personal interests, strengths, and abilities. Family care partners/friends have peace of mind and full-day respite to manage work, family life and their personal health.
