Alzheimer’s Notes

Alzheimer’s Patients Send Letters to Marines

by Mary Emma Allen on January 23rd, 2007

Alzheimer’s patients at a nursing home in New Hampshire have been sending notes and care packages to Marines in Iraq.   Through this unique program, the staff has found a way to help patients overcome their anxiety when they hear about the war and to help them feel useful.

These include patients who have served in the military themselves or remember stateside experiences during war time.  Through participating in Soldiers’ Angels, they can make a difference and help military men and women serving their country.
