Today, Wednesday, September 21, World Alzheimer's Day is celebrated, which is why the Alzhéimer Águilas Association has organized a day of open doors to take a lunch of coexistence, where family and friends have had the opportunity to visit them and meet its headquarters.
"In previous years, we placed an information table, among other activities and spent that morning in Plaza España, with the aim of sensitizing the population and making us visible," said José Lencina, president of this association, "today our users are more dependent ".
At present, the users have a more advanced degree of dependency, reason why, the directive and caretakers have taken the decision to celebrate this day in the headquarters of the Association Alzhéimer Eagles, in C / Pizarro, 1 Bajo.
Alzheimer's is a global problem that no one is safe from and that society as a whole should be aware of for a triple purpose:
Prevent the onset of disease
Act in cases that have already been diagnosed
Mitigating the psychosocial, health and economic consequences of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias in patients, caregivers, families and society
