In wake of the fires devastating the North Bay, the Alzheimer's Association is tracking care facility relocations throughout the affected areas. So far, 20 facilities have reported relocation. They have established a 24/7 helpline to assist in locating loved ones who have been evacuated. The number is 800-272-3900. Additionally, a statement has been issued regarding wandering, which is common amongst those with Alzheimer's upon being removed from their everyday environment. Click here to view.
