N. Shore health-care awards granted for research

THE LIONS Gate Medical
Research Foundation has awarded
two grants to North Shore
health-care researchers.

By Elizabeth Collings
News Reporter

An award of $12,870 has been
granted to two North Shore
Health staff: Nancy Hall, director
of community health promotions,
and Mavis Standfield, director of
North Shore Health's long-term
care program.

Hall and Standfield will use the
funding to study the needs of
family caregivers for patients with
Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's
disease and other forms of
dementia.

The study will involve
views with approximately

inter-
160

family caregivers to determine
how the community can meet their
needs.

According to Hall, there is -a
two-year waiting list for people to
get into Cacilities.

“The most important thing is
often not the person's state of
disease but caregiver breakdown,”
she said. ‘‘ it’s a 48-hour day.”’

Hall expects the study to be
under way by the beginning of
May. The results will be presented
to doctors, caregivers, facility
employees and adult daycare
workers at a comr. unity meeting
in the fall.

Meanwhile, the Lions Gate
Medical Research Foundation has
awarded $4,200 to registered nurse
Dianne Allan and pharmacist
Douglas Danforth to assist in their
review of recent research dealing
with the interaction between drugs
