Hurricane Season is Here
"The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it."
-Mother Teresa
As you know, the recent past history of
hurricanes that have hit Florida were
devastating and stressful for many
people, especially for individuals with
special needs, including people
suffering with Alzheimer's disease or
related disorders.
We at Alzheimer's Community Care are
again in partnership with Palm Beach
County, Emergency Operations Center,
Palm Beach County Health Department,
and others by Volunteering at the
Special Needs Shelter at Palm Beach
25
Central High School, in Wellington:
8499 Forest Hill Boulevard, West Palm
Beach, Florida.
ACC is specifically helping with
Alzheimer's/Dementia Specific individuals
and their caregivers. We are reaching
out to our volunteers and making an
appeal to the community to aid in this
mission by being an Emergency Shelter
Special Needs volunteer.
Volunteers will be assisting alongside
Mary Barnes, President & CEO, Family
Nurse Consultants & other caring
members of our staff to serve our
population in time of evacuation due to
an emergency.
Alzheimer's Community Care will
provide the proper training, identification
and travel passes that volunteers will
need during this crucial time.
We need your help! Please consider
helping: shifts are pre, during or post
emergency.
