Why does Alzheimer’s Community Care provide a crisis line?

 

  • Patients struggling with dementia are subject to adverse symptoms 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
     
  • Due to the effects of Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders, patients may exhibit behavior needing immediate intervention
     
  • Unusual behavior is often misunderstood by the public or law enforcement
     
  • Inaccurate assessment by those untrained in dementia may result in inappropriate incarceration, or unnecessary application of Florida's Baker Act
