No More Silent Battles shares the experiences of four families as they navigate the complexities of Dementia care. This documentary reveals their resilience, resourcefulness, and the critical role of community support. In addition, it explores the practical and emotional realities, the impact of trained home care providers, and the urgent need to develop policies and funding that support Dementia care at home.
Dr. Jenny Ingram has been a trailblazer in Geriatric Medicine and seniors’ care throughout her career. A widely respected medical specialist, she broke from convention when she moved away from large cities with medical schools to the city of Peterborough in Central Ontario. There she founded the Kawartha Centre, to be a site for international Alzheimer research trials for her patients, ensuring access to the most recent advances in dementia medications under development.
In 2016, a national research organization of over 30 Canadian sites (C5R/Consortium of Canadian Centres for Clinical Cognitive Research) awarded her their Award of Excellence. For twenty years, she has worked and provided evidence that—contrary to the opinions of many—ALL Family Practice Physicians can be supported to diagnose Alzheimer Disease and dementia in their patients, if trained teams are in place.
